What?

 

He was fined $25k lol.  It is against the rules to publicly complain about officiating.

[Lou]

Doc rivers fined a quarter million by the NBA.

What a bitch move. apparently speaking your mind and being honest is frowned upon by the league

 

lol

[nate]

lol

 

Give him a break, he has only been a fan for two years.

[Hollyw00d]

The sports ticker on TV was wrong then apparently. Still incredibly lame either way, the amount doesn't excuse the principle.

Btw, Nate you're a joke on this forum.

Apparently you have missed the like 50 times that coaches are fined 25k every season for talking about the refs.

[Lou]

weren't Kidd and Jackson fined $25k a couple of weeks ago for the same thing?

[Lou]

Wait a minute!!!

 

 

 

racists

[Hollyw00d]

Lol

[Hollyw00d]

He was telling the truth and got a sent a bill for his trouble, just dumb imo

[nate]

No, he broke the rules and was fined for it.

[Hollyw00d]

So that makes it right, in your mind? Do you also think every law ever made is completely just and logical?

I know you're a lakers homer but come on dude, have some sense

[nate]

Um, yeah I do.  Rules are rules.  It happens a bunch all season where a bad call goes against a team and the coach vents about it and then gets fined.

 

The NBA wants those things internalized, if they aren't then they are fined.  It is that way in every major sport.

 

Otherwise every post game press conference would be 30 minutes of players/coaches bitching about the officiating.

[Lou]

i don't recall any coach criticizing the refs without being fined

[Hollyw00d]

It would be nice if they actually fixed the problem (the refs) instead of coming down on the dude that called their BS. I hate nba officiating, it's so subjective and illogical much of the time and the refs can call the game however they want and use the excuse that's its "so difficult."

[nate]

Yeah but also both teams are dealing with the officials.  It went against the Clippers this time but they have been on the other side of it plenty of times, so has every team.

 

NBA officiating is awful and it is the reason I don't really care about the NBA anymore.

[OregonLAA]

Maybe Sterling will pay for it

[Jay]

During the playoffs coaches always complain about the officiating but they do it in a way that doesn't directly imply that a call was bad.  Rivers essentially blamed the loss on the referees and he deserved to get fined.

[Lou]

Collision was great in game 4 but he has been kind of brutal in the other games. He's actually much better when he plays off CP3 rather than running the offense. During the latest stretch of the season he was unstoppable in the same role because he wasn't missing threes and making people pay for forgetting about him. He hasn't had the same amount of chances, but he hasn't played exceptionally well either

 

Seems to me is that Collison has had a couple of bad games in the playoffs. Those games he played limited minutes.

[Lou]

I've loved Blake since he was at OU.

 

He's such a f'n crybaby now.

HA! I hated him then, but love him now

 

Good season, Clipps. I hope all this Sterling stuff doesn't keep players away while making current players leave. If that happens, I won't watch the NBA anymore. I'm on the edge after seeing the product that is being put out there right now. 

 

I'm pretty stoked to see the same 4 teams in the Conference Finals. That's always fun watching the same teams over and over again. Hopefully it's Spurs - Heat again so we can mix it up a little

truth.  the NBA is so predictable.   they may be doing well now, but this will be bad for the league in the long run. there's a good 10+ teams in the NBA that have no shot to win a title year in and year out and that's bad for the health of the league.   Baseball have felt the effects of it, and the NBA will suffer as well.

 

there's a reason football is king, because every team has a legit shot at making noise.  that grows fanbases and creates more football fans.   MLB and NBA are good at creating more yankees, red sox, lakers and celtics fans and that's about it.

[nate]

NBA is a selfish sport where having a couple top players guarantees you depth in the playoffs.

 

It is why the NBA kinda sucks yo.

I loved how he was screaming "where was the foul" when he fouled

Ugh you didn't feel yourself closeline westbrook

[Vladfan]

The officiating in last nights game was horrific.......swallow the whistles and let them play.

[OregonLAA]

When Blake yelled that I couldn't help but laugh. I think it was more from the frustration to the calls where he "blocked" Westbrook, "charged" Durant and CP3 had that unbelievable offensive foul called on him. If I'm being honest I would not be able to keep my mouth shut as an NBA player. Some of those calls are just too ridiculously bad
