Oh he is not, not trying to say he flops. He is a monster who you have to foul to stop, but he is getting more CALLS this season then before, lots of soft superstar calls he didnt use to get before, he gets more now cuz is he a legit MVP level player. And it helps Doc Rivers and his staff are nonstop on refs.



Btw no one is like Trae Young, not even Harden, that kid is retarded with this shit.

@Enron Not good day for Jazz lol, the refs fucking them over in Philly game, then Lebron making a mockery of them in Allstars picking of rosters LOL


Twellmans rant here is hilarious:




Mitchell hella salty:


Agree with Max here, it was more about Mitchell choking away then the refs screw ups on the final result:




The refs are COMPLETELY awful all season, and generally big market teams get much better reffing calls, Philly and Lakers get preferential treatment routinely in games I seen . Simply cuz as big names, if you bark at the refs enough, you condition refs to give you better calls, Bron allways on refs, and Doc Rivers lives in refs ears, he was same with Clippers, they used to get FTs much easier with Doc nagging, now they dont anymore this season, and now in Philly Embiid gets foul calls as soon as you breath on him lol (worst in league is Trae Young, is like Harden times 3, gets 20 fts a night just walking by opponents).


But in general the refs are just awful, they giving techs for yelling And1 after you get a foul call for you, happend to Harrell LOL, you get a tech for screaming at your teammate to get back in defense (Draymond get this for yelling at Wiseman lol). The ref assumed he was yelling at ref/opponent, when no one was close. What happend to Booker vs Lakers...Reddick ejection for NOTHING lol, and MANY MANY more awful calls that just happend this weeek, not whole season but this week.


How inept refs are can be explained by this example, its 40 seconds left down 6,, A wolves guard and Towns crowd the opponent to a corner and about to steal/give turnover. The ref gives foul on Towns, he didnt, he was just crowding in his vicinity him to get turnover, Towns is EJECTED FOR THIS. Towns asks the ref why the hell did you give a foul? The ref straight up says I thought you were going for one touch auto foul to give the opponents free throws so you can get the ball back quicker, trying to help you out. Can you imagine how incompetent this sounds? Towns goes BANANAS, says wtf? We were about to get the turnover, this is BS.

A ref instead of judge on what happens, is trying to "predict" what should happen and just make up a call. And this happens on weekly basis.


Feels like this league isnt a legit athletic competition, but narrative based entertainment show, which the refs going for whats most exciting, or what fits the money makers, aka the superstars and big market teams etc. Phantom calls happening way and way more.




P.S I dont think Jazz complains are even top 10 worst worthy whatsoever , but they finally speaking up cuz they are small market team, and if they dont complain like rest do, it will get worse.

I mean they look at the screen on replay, and still stick with a phantom call, because litterally its like they not allowed to not show favoritisim.

games are gonna happen like that over the course of the season. I’m glad to see Spida getting angry.

It's more versatile but not necessarily better
i suppose it depends on how you define better. In the playoffs I’d rather have Ben because he can guard a lot more than just protect the rim. Gobert gets killed by any elite center like Embiid, Jokic, or AD

Simmons is obviously more switchable, he can defend the perimeter and hold his own in the post. But elite rim protection is a different type of valuable, it keeps cutters and drivers out of the paint and helps the perimeter defenders being more agresive. But in the end it all comes down to matchups.

Blake Griffin joining the Nets. Would have been a superstar team 3 or so years ago, but they'll still be tough to beat.

Defense, not really the strong suit.

Griffin is a shell of his former self, reminds me of Stoudemire when he was on the Heat, had the bounce of a guy in a wheelchair. It will be interesting to see whether he will have any impact, especially in the playoffs

Nets far and away most unlikeable team in the league now, with that scummy pos Harden, looney conspiracy crank Kyrie, and Blake the snake Griffin.

KD, with his multiple Twitter accounts, most likeable player on the team lol

I mean they are a superstar team even without griffin
Yeah but it's an ageing team and adding this cripple will be an interesting watch. They'll have to put up 130 every game to win a championship. They can do it, of course, but probably has to be done in the next two seasons.

Tbh these "super teams" bore the hell out of me, probably the most dislikeable thing about modern basketball in how players chop and change teams and take the easy option.
