This week i came across an interesting blog. I discovered this blogger named Dannaher, he talked about the one subject i could literally read all day without getting bored. I always thought that WordPress was for big companies that blog and really just us in this digital world. But my theory was put to rest when I saw the date Dannaher posted on his blog. All jokes aside, i really enjoyed the post. When he mentioned the big game between the Warriors and the Rockets that was played this season. I had already knew it was going to be about the referees right away. Having to watch that game from my living room, it felt like there was some shady thing going in the league the last couple seasons. This is going to be opinion based but I believe that 80% of NBA fans miss the 90s and early 2000s officiating. What i miss about the old school officiating would be how consistent they were from the beginning to the end. Now a days we have referee cheating games to gain wealth from bets. The past couple seasons, officiating hasn’t been at the top of their game(pun intended). What the Author suggested was ideas where it was fair on all platforms for players and officials. I believe that these ideas would help the recent problems the league been having. The players have been criticizing some bad calls made by the officials or even the whole game. While the commissioner fines players for speaking freely about what he felt was wrong at the game. I suggested what Dannaher said but also adding some type of penalty to the officials if these comments are being made by players and fans. That game that woke everyone up Warriors playing against the Rockets. Hopefully they won’t be stupid enough to do a horrible job in the Playoffs. Us fans hate watching this low expectations made by the league. I’ve officiated a game and coach before so I know that it’s not that difficult to pay attention to a game. Although having to officiate higher levels, I assume it would get difficult but it should get easier if you’ve been doing you job for years. If your a professional their should be little to none errors, but we are all humans so if anyone has ties to the league tell them to look at Dannaher blog post.
