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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
