Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

The "These Refs Suck" moment. It got super loud during the game and made me laugh. Not to say that the refs made us lose... we just sucked big time last night.

Ahh yes

It was clearly the refs who caused Yao to go like 30 for 30 from the floor, and turned Aaron Brooks into Isiah Thomas.

Everybody always says that

But how can you even judge that? We probably boo just as much as anyone else.

Houston played great, We played terrible, and the refs absolutely sucked

The NBA has the worst officiating in professional sports. The NFL used to have really poor officiating as well and then they got a competent commissioner and since then there has been a huge difference in the NFL.

I know we would have lost the game regardless of the officiating but it doesn’t make incompetent officiating ok. We say it wasn’t the officiating because we don’t want to sound like whiners but what basketball fans really need to do is stand up and demand better officiating, and transparency in how refs are penalized.

Stern sucks

There won't be clean officiating in the NBA until David Stern is forcibly removed by the US Congress in 2013 for fixing games.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
