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.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
