Silver gotta do something about these refs.
Still hoping this year's shit reffing is an elaborate plan to prep people for computerized refs, cause I'm just about done watching as it is.
Guarantee you the refs who need to get canned are the ones who have a ton of dirt to spill if they were fired. Silver doesn't want to take the PR hit.
What’s he gonna do? Scott Foster has so much dirt on the NBA. So much so that he was one of the main subjects of the FBIs investigation into the NBAs game fixing/betting scandal. And when the FBI told David Stern as a courtesy, Stern intentionally blew their cover and made it go away.
Foster can be this way because he’s comfortable. The NBA markets itself as a competition. Would fuck the whole league if it came out, the NBA stands to lose billions. It would call into question so many results of the modern NBA, etc.
They are ruining the league
My guy, at this point I'd settle for just this ref.
Silver ain't never gonna do sh*t
In Lithuanian league, refs now get suspended for a game or so, for bad reffing, making too many mistakes. So far the max was 3 games. Scott needs to be fired, but he probably has some leaway on the league, crap would hit the fan, he would tell things to media, which nba dont want to be leaked, thats why they let foster reffing.
For real. I get it’s probably a lot harder than it looks, but that doesn’t mean the current refs aren’t absolute shit.
It’s not even that my team gets hosed, it’s that quarter to quarter what is and isn’t a foul changes drastically, making it very frustrating to watch.
He is gonna give them more finals games.
I mean, what are Brothers and Foster doing in the finals after how blatantly bad they are?
