Jesus Christ, Vanessa. And I'm the menstruating bitch? No, I'm not drunk, I just know that me seeing your user name doesn't make me spaz out in a rage wanting to argue. That's why I have no idea WTF you're going on about and was genuinely confused thinking you thought there was some long ago history or something. I know you love the sarcastic hyperbole but that entire line of thinking is completely nonsensical. I'm not pretending I've never heard of you, dipshit. If anything, the last thing of any substance I recall you posting was the Simone Biles stuff and I thought it was actually a decent take. You're whining about me ascribing motive to you and then you go whole hog on doing the same thing.
It was a good call because the defender was set (barely) and beat the offensive player to the spot (barely). In real time, that's bang bang, but I think it was defensible in real time and just as defensible slowed down. I think that given the actual rules on drawing a charge, it's absolutely nothing to get up in arms about. You want to make it about a bigger thing, officiating in the NBA over a multi-year perspective and how it's been made so much worse and this is only the latest example, and I'm just talking about this call, which to me is not at all out of the norm and not outside the rules. Replay didn't even come into play here either so it's not like the ref made an after the fact judgment.
Edit: In conclusion, and my only point from the beginning (which I made at the beginning), based on my view of it, It's a bad flag-bearer for the supposed downward trend of officiating. You can probably find a lot better examples of WTF officiating just watching Lebron for an entire game.
No, it wasn't your only point. Like a bitch, you tried to make some personal point that was irrelevant.
And like a moron you keep having to bleed out some strawman point to rationalize the fact you made a dumb point.
I literally made the comparison between this play and the NFL because it's a "know it when you see it" situation that even if technically correct means officiating is becoming the star, not the sport itself.... and now you're all the way to trying to claim I'm using this play as a flag bearer for bad officiating and that I'm somehow clay this has anything to do with replay.
Notice the trend, I respond to what you literally type in your response because I'm autistic about the content of posts... you add some superfluous irrelevant point or strawman like my hatred of wokeness, and I respond to that, while asking what it has to do with the topic, you add a strawman, I respond to that still asking what it has to do with the topic in question.... You pretend I'm the one bringing up external shit.
Then, in the end, among all the superfluous nonsense, you agree with my original point: here the only difference is I believe fifty-fifty plays like this should err on the side of what the fans believe in a "know it when they see it" sort of way.
If you had managed to even attempt to address your retarded insinuation I was off base and making arguments based only on an emotional position of hatred for wokeness....
Instead you disagreed on substance and thought throwing that mind reading bitch argument would bolster you position? Or just wanted to troll? Lay some irrelevant bait so you can have a go?
I don't know, as mentioned from the very start it was weird and irrelevant and when I questioned why bring that shit up, instead of apologizing or ignoring that going forward or explaining how you think it was relevant you started further arguing that idiotic shit like a bitch.
Sorry you couldn't just make a rational, coherent point so we could have avoided all this, bitch.
