Hey, @tlance

Ball, Kuzma, and Zublocka for Wall? I can throw in a 2nd rounder if needed.

Not just no...Fuck no!!

Did TLF hack your account?

TLF would trade Zubicka, Deng and a 2nd round pick for Wall. And he would hem and haw over whether it was too much.

Do officials usually go up to players at half time and say "we're doing a terrible job"? Because if I were an official I probably wouldn't do that and I'm guessing actual officials wouldn't either.

Something tells me Wall story isn't exactly correct. IMO, I bet Wall approached them about some calls in the first half and only then did they acknowledge that they missed some calls.

Just can't see a ref approaching a player at half saying "hey I missed 2-3 calls that should have went your way" lol

They definitely would. At least the good officials would.

I have a couple good friends who officiate high school and college. I also have experienced this from the other side as a coach.

Literally the best response an official can have in the moment when a player/coach is riding them about a call is to say something like:

"I might have missed it, but what from what I saw I thought the defender was ________."

Insert reasoning at the end.

No matter what, the official is never going to convince the coach or player that what they saw was correct and what the coach/player saw was wrong. So, a humble, conciliatory tone that leaves open the possibility of human error is what is needed to de-escalate the situation. A bad ref will argue back or try to assert dominance. Any good one will admit the possibility that they missed a call.

Kinda sucks that the east automatically get the NBATV games just cause their games are earlier.

I'd rather see this one than the Blazers/Pels

 

[Inimical]

[raptorlife4]

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So you want to hear something seriously messed up?

I live in VA, 2 hours from D.C.

Wizards game is supposed to be on NBA TV, except for some reason it is blacked out. Local channels don't have it. Local cable networks covering hockey and baseball.

I have 300 some channels and no way to watch this game being played in Toronto. Stupid.
