Hello, out there I’m going to change gears and talk about the NBA for a few lines. I saw the game between the Rockets and the Lakers and saw the elbow Kobe gave to Artest during the game. Now, to me it is really funny that a star player can do that and get away with it and a nbody like Fisher can do the same thing and get a one game suspension. That is really odd to me.
How do you put an elbow to the throat of someone thatcould possibly kill them and not get a suspension. C’mon now, you know if I did that they would give me a fove or six game suspension, but because Kobe did it he misses no game time. Are the television revenues that much? Does the NBA need the money that badly?
Now as for me football is my sport and I love it and the officials are much better. I mean yeah you do have the occasional mess ups but the NFL has their act together with the officiating crews. Of course with instant replay it has cut down on many of the missed calls that otherwise would have been let go, so why is it that the NFL runs major sports. Anyway back to the elbow in the neck
It really used to trip me out when people used to say that the NBA was generally fixed to have certain teams win the championship. I truly would agrgue and say that was not right because I generally thought that they had been doing a good job over the years, but not this year. To me their is a clear disparity between calls between teams and players that has not been this apparent for as long as I can remember.
Look at the Lakers, Cavaliers, and even the Nuggets it seems that during this playoff season so many things are not being called that it has truly affected the way look at the games this year. I think that this season we the public are more aware to this because of our current emotional and economis status this year.
If Mr. Stern ever were to read this I would tell him take a long hard look at how this playoff officiating has been and do something about it. I don’t know if you have to put them in school or pay them more, but do something or the wod conspiracy will be equated with the NBA for many years to come. Cathch you next time.
