Seriously, this is the worst refereeing I've ever seen on the NBA.
And they don't get punished, they don't get suspended, nothing. It's (bleep) absurd. |

The league is supposed to be discussing this issue during All-Star break. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

That’s why they’re having a conference during the All-Star break because the situation is out of control to say the least. |

Yeah, I don’t blame the refs for the outcome of these games, but, some horrendous calls. And non-calls both ways. That OKC game where we won was hilarious. Never seen refs not call end of game intentional fouls. |

I’ve seen the 2 weirdest calls I’ve seen in my life this season
1) D’angelo Russell (who was in his regular clothes sitting at the end of the bench) got called for a technical for clapping when an opposing player missed a free throw
2) Tom Thibbs got called for a tech for yelling at KAT. Since when can you get called for yelling at a player on your team?! Wolves lost that game by 1 point
Start giving the refs fines and they’ll think twice about making dumbass calls. |

No, this is accurate, danzag. The officiating is the worst I've ever seen in the Association. It's not just Laker games. I watched a sequence tonight in the Blazers-Warriors game in the 3rd quarter where KD takes a 3, there's some slight contact as he lands (it didn't really affect the shot), and the ref calls the foul as the shot goes in. OK, you're supposed to let them land, I get it. Four-point play. So within 60 seconds of that, Napier takes a 3 for the Blazers. He shoots it, and there is clear contact by a Warriors player, and he falls down, having not been allowed to land. The shot goes in, and...no call. I mean, it was the same situation, only this one was even more obvious. No call. The fact that the officials just saw the exact same situation moments earlier makes you wonder.
It's nearing college-level officiating, and that's genuinely saying something. IT's ejection tonight was ridiculous. Rondo was the one out of control, so to diffuse the situation, they think they need to even it up? |

Tonights game (Pelicans) was ridiculous with the IT ejection.
I don't think this season stands out as much as we as humans are more aware of injustice due to the current state of the world unfortunately. |

Just curious, how old are you? I'm 41. I try not to overreact to things. But this is as bad as I've ever seen it. I mean, there have always been issues. Rookies getting the shaft, stars getting the benefit of calls, "home cooking" from refs. But it feels like there has been more inconsistency this season from them. Just bad calls that go beyond the typical stuff I've usually seen. Maybe you're right, and maybe we're overreacting. But it really doesn't feel that way to me. |

You and me both brother. I've never seen it this bad and that's including the period where the refs were on strike in '95. It's all over the place and these refs are doubling down by having a collective itchy trigger finger with techs.
The Thibodeau tech was the biggest load I've seen. Someone needs to be fined for that. _________________ KOBE |

I don't think OP was trying to blame the refs for the losses, it was more a comment on the reffing as a whole this year and he is right, 12 years watching this league I've not seen it this bad league-wide ever. Weird calls all over the place. They're way too trigger-happy with technicals and messing up a bunch of other stuff too. We had a game a couple weeks ago where our players were basically getting aggravated assaults on them before they called the intentional foul it was the weirdest thing I've seen at the end of the game in years. Randle had like three players smacking him right in front of a ref who never called the intentional, time just expired instead. |

This.
We came back in the game but spent all of our energy coming back. The intensity has to be there right out of the gates. Even if they toss two players. We gotta be mentally tough. Smarter than the the strategy our opponents throw at us. Refs will always call ish calls. We gotta have the mindset to get ahead by 30 even if we don’t get there. A champion team takes the refs out of the equation.
How about we take the initiative and get assistant coaches that can teach young rooks to play at a championship level. Obviously our coaching staff needs to do better or be bounced. _________________ DEAR BASKETBALL |

Yeah, that was at the end of the OKC game. OKC has to foul...THEY HAVE TO FREAKING FOUL AND THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS IT...Randle gets hit once, then again, and then again...and no call. Time expires, game over. There was a referee in perfect position, literally a few feet in front of the play.
Completely unconscionable. I can't ever remember using the F word on Twitter before. I did right after that play. |

I'm not saying that we lost because of the refs. We suck and I know it.
I'm saying that refereeing this year has been really bad. All over the league, all the games.
The other day Thibs got a tech for yelling at his own player. Draymond shows a bloody face to a ref and gets ejected. IT gets taunted by Rondo and gets ejected. |

Social Media magnifies everything. We think we know everything, but we must believe nothing, too many lies and conspirators out here. How many times does some one have to come out and say some off the wall (probably truth) and then get butchered for it. Way too sensitive, the list goes on and on.
Like no one can believe the association is the wwe (yeah right). Just like no one can believe that science and medicine is mainly driven by profit and not truth. |

Scrutiny and second guessing of the refs contributes but I also think the players have a part in the problem. Their reactions and expectations have become ridiculous too.
Twenty years ago there were bad calls/no calls too. Just did not have high def replay on TV to scrutinize as closely.
More importantly the players have lost the old adage of "playing through" bad calls. They initiate calls to get to the line like never before. They complain constantly, even when they create the contact or do foul on a play. Yet they continue to complain, berate and be more demonstrative in their reactions. Many times when replay shows they are wrong.
Sure there are bad calls. Sure players get shafted. But lets be real. The refs are not going to get every call correct especially when so many calls are subjective.
Plat the game and stop worrying about the calls. Never going to be perfect or agreed upon by all. Even if they somehow over-analyzed every play on replay ( example of the NFL catch/no catch rules.) |

We're in an era when fans can freeze-frame or slow-mo any bad call, put it on the Internet, and get everyone riled up about the unfair call.
I don't know if there is an obvious or simple answer to improving calls. Human beings refereeing NBA games will have a much higher error rate than fans will ever find acceptable.
Combine that with the entitlement of a social media age, multiplying player's belief that they never commit a foul themselves or are fouled on every play. |

I agree we are officially an atrocious team. Not the refs fault we traded away some of our best players, and picked up the league’s worst player |

Van Exel flipped off one of those 95 scab refs behind his back. They were bad and yet some of them got hired by the NBA later on. I got an amusing game recap of LA at Sac from 11/95 where everyone was yelling at them. One of the weirdest gms I've ever seen. They bounced Garry St. Jean who was caught on camera yellilng, "You bleeping guys SUCK!" as he walked out. Del Harris also Frankenstein stomped out to the FT line in the first minute to scream illegal D at them. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

I kind of want to be a ref as a second career when I'm older. Best ticket to the games, interact with players, support the Lakers more directly than I do now...hiring qualifications seem low, so I think I got a shot |

I agree, in the T-pups game, every time the Lakers were bumped during a drive to the basket, there was no foul. Every time Minny missed an inside shot a foul was called on the Lakers. _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

I remember when Nick gave a forearm shiver to a ref (Ron Garretson?). Magic followed it up a few months later with a chest bump to a ref. Good times! _________________ KOBE |
