Switching the topic a bit.......


Didn't the NBA create a new policy that the officials were to 'crack down' on (in other words) bitching and moaning??

I recall that there were more technicals given out soon after it started. However, the rule/policy/whatever has clearly been over-looked. It seems like EVERY single player bitches after a foul call....regardless. I understand that I, the viewer have the benefit of instant-replay....and the player does not. But I am not a professional basketball player either.


It gets pretty lame after a while to see these ultra-overpaid athletes act totally flabergasted that the ref could even think about calling a foul. Its almost like they players have to break balls after a call or they will be alienated from the other players.

On the other hand, it does look kinda dumb when a player raises his hand after a foul. Usually its damn obvious who made the foul. Unless a scrub is trying to take the foul for a star player.


I gues it just irks me because these dudes make so much cash and they still have the nuts to complain about something. Every one of those players has played basketball long enough to know that fouls are a part of the game. In my opinion, there is no need to be an obnoxious fucking jerk every time they make a mistake. If anything, the player should motherfuck himself for screwing up.
