  • Phil Jackson leaving LA?
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

NBA sucks...who cares.

br
It's far more interesting to watch compared to a 4 hour baseball game filled with juicers.
Yeah, I see your point. Watching clear-outs, one-on-ones, players getting four steps and being able to palm the ball is very, very exciting.
You're right, every team plays that way. I'd much rather watch a 7 minute at-bat with 16 cup adjustments, 13 episodes of kicking dirt, and 9 loogies by players who get poked with a needle more times than a diabetic. Yep, I see your point.
Are you claiming NBA players/refs haven't "stretched" the rules of what basketball was meant to be?
Are you seriously retarded? What does the alleged stretching of rules have to do with baseball being boring? Let's play your game. Are you saying that every umpire calls the strike zone exactly how the rulebook states? Are you saying baseball is better to watch than basketball even though they refuse to take the time to go to replay on game changing plays? Are you saying that it's more fun to watch 7 guys stand around on defense 90% of the time compared to watching teams trying to rotate defensively to cover the pick and roll?
FYI, MLB has instant replay.......
Yeah, on whether or not it's a foul ball.............that solves everything. Those controversial plays happen more often than a play at the plate or a close play at any other base. I can see now why you are a Colts fan, you fit right in with 90% of the other ones I've met.
It's much easier to understand someone's post when you actually read it.

The NBA does more to get the calls right than MLB, and its not even close. When was the last time an umpire was suspended for doing a horrible job of calling the strike zone?
So, if the biases in baseball are so obvious, give a few statistics on it. You really have no comment on the obvious biases of some nba officials? What a surprise.
Whether its biases or just plain poor officiating is irrelevant. The FACT is that the NBA does more with replay to get calls correct than MLB by far. In fact, umpires should become obsolete. There is no reason why MLB cannot use the same technology ESPN uses to determine balls and strikes. Umpires get fooled by sweeping curves and sliders as much as hitters do, so why not get it right all the time?

Relatively speaking, basketball is a much more difficult game to officiate. 3 officials must watch 10 players who are in constant motion, while they have to run up and down the floor. Yes, they are not always in the best position to see what happened which leads to controversial calls and mistakes. The only way to realistically solve that problem is to have 5 officials, 2 on each end of the floor and 1 guy who stays within 12 feet of each side of half court. I wish they would do that so there would be fewer missed calls.

Comparing the officiating of a basketball game with 3 officials and a baseball game with 4 is ridiculous. A typical basketball game is going to have a hell of a lot more judgement calls than a baseball game outside of balls and strikes......and more than half of those are no brainers because either the batter swings, the ball is in the dirt, or an obvious ball/strike.

So some nba officials just happen to do their poorest jobs of officiating against certain teams? I get it.
