How can you let such atrocious officiating slide by without consequences. Bobcats and Pacers are fighting for the 8th seed and when it comes down to the most crucial possession of the game you just let it slide and don't make the right call. Lets not forget the officiating of the entire game was terrible and what about the inadvertent whistle that led to 4 Pacer points. Go back and Watch tape of the Bobcats Celtics game on Monday and look at what they considered a foul on Paul Pierce at the end of the game. Then you have Blatant contact on Jackson tonight and they don't call anything. And you wonder why people think the NBA is rigged? Because night in and night out Refs make horrendous calls that change the out come of games. If you fine players for arguing with refs about calls and coaches who question officiating, then you should hold officials to the same standards. You have films of every game and can look and evaluate the integrity of the officials. You also have the ability in games to use instant replay. How about you actually put it to use. I will still support players and teams, but you lost a supporter of The NBA. Things like this that are overlooked in sports are just unacceptable.

What do you guys think?

I think the NBA is by far the worst officiating out of all the major sports, and has been for a while. You'd figure after that one ref got busted gambling (and leaking other parties) they would try to fix things, but no, they won't. The fact is, superstars and more popular teams get the calls, always, because those teams are the ones that make the money I guess.

I also think the refs are sticking it to our team because of Jax and his constant battle with them.

Does anyone have any ideas to make our statement heard without hurting the teams earnings or getting arrested.

I thought a fan boycott until the NBA issues a proper explanation of their obvious war on our franchise and some kind of discipline when it comes to these bogus outcomes, but that could hurt earnings and take away support for our team.

Jack is right and you guys should be on HIS side.

Anybody have any ideas?

I agree. Its true, he needs to temper his emotions and not hurt us by getting ejected or missing games, but this is what fuels that fire. This is why a Jax or a Sheed Wallace in the past used to get so heated at refs and totally lose their minds. LOL. See how we feel as fans? Imagine being a competitor in the heat of battle and having this happen.

I've been to many Bobcat games and this has been going on way before Jack. I can personally remember a home game with the Wizards that made me really start to look at the NBA like pro wrestling.

Our team is actually better than they look at times.

David Stern is gonna run the league into the ground. He already has in some ways.

All the new rules that he has endorsed over the last few years have have taken the physicality (no hand checking) and the emotion (new tech rules) out of the game. Also, the fact that he hasn't done something about the bad officiating is a complete joke. And to think these refs actually had the nerve to go on strike a couple years ago - wanting higher pay.

Stern better be glad that LeWhistle, Wade, Melo ect, came into the league when they did. Because had they not, the NBA would be in serious trouble.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
