The officiating in the NBA makes other leagues look like they have good officiating. These guys are drunk with power and it will start costing the league money.
I empathize to an extent. It’s a tough job flying up and down the court and seeing everything. But 1. Tatum is a star and he deserves attention and a bit of deference and 2. There should be some mitigation for egregious missed fouls.
Way to sour the crowd tho on a great night

They've literally had a high profile ref still in the league for 15+ years after he was likely was involved in fixing games still reffing the biggest games every year. If it hasn't cost the league anything yet why any time soon?
That felt like one of the most efficient nights of offense of the season. I wasn't too impressed on D in the first half but it didn't matter.
I mean, MLB has the same issue. They’ve got a high profile ump who everyone pretty much acknowledges gets calls wrong on purpose, just to bait guys. And they’ve also got Laz Diaz.
What did we score against the Pacers back in November? Doubt this ends up even the high for the season.
EDIT: 155
I love this in-arena feed. I hate that Barry Gibb and Michael McDonald haven’t recorded a duet.
Nice W. That T-Wolves game was probably the best of the season, but after some nail-biters and losses, I needed one like this.
Wow I just rewatched that sequence when Tatum got ejected. That was an egregious missed call. Tatum was completely right to tell the refs to fuck right the hell off.
I want a still of the camera pan after the play, dude looked like he ate a foot long shit sandwich.
None of the C's messed around and got a triple double. But nevertheless, today...
The funny thing is he is one of the best refs in the league probably, or at least one who best understands game flow and can take a side-eyed glance from a player* without throwing a hissy fit.
CP3 drama excluded of course.
That's funny, when my buddy sent me those pics, his text said "today was a good day."
I love it that I now live in a world where Ice Cube is considered an elder statesperson of hoops and entertainment as well as a family movie star.
I’m not generally one to boo, but I think I would have if I had been there tonight. Still, the Celtics took the better route.
I was actually listening to When Will They Shoot earlier this week and thinking about NWA and marveling about the same. Quite a development.
He's receiving the Impact Award from the basketball HOF this weekend:

In arena feed you can get on the NBA season pass. Not sure if it was on the regular broadcast.
Don-a-hee..Don-a-hee. Never let them forget.
Over and over. Benefit of not profanity, so kids can join the fun. And announcers couldnt ignore it.
