    I've always said they should widen the court. The side 3 should be the exact same length as the top of the arc 3. The 3pt line should be a perfect semi circle. Widening the court would also naturally open up the game instead of artifically like they do now with the way the game is officiated. Its silly how short the side 3 is and how often players step out of bounds from there.

    the league's known for 20 years that the court needed to be widened, imo. they just won't give up the seats in the arenas.

    LMFAO:LLLLLebronlaughing::Laugh:
    The Houston Rockets didn’t take advantage of their big lead, but partially blame referee Scott Foster for losing to the Los Angeles Lakers.

    The Los Angeles Lakers trailed for most of the game, but rallied from a 19-point deficit on Thursday to beat the Houston Rockets at the Staples Center. James Harden extended his 30-point streak to 32 games with 30 points, also had ten rebounds and nine assists before fouling out. Chris Paul also fouled out with 23 points to his name.

    After the 2018-19 NBA Regular Season contest, Paul talked about one of the referees, Scott Foster. It wasn’t the first time the 33-year-old American felt deprived from the refs decisions against him. “I don’t know what else to do. I’ve met with the league with him before. I don’t know what else to do” he said.


    Harden added: “Scott Foster man, I never really talk about officiating but just rude and arrogant. I mean, you aren’t able to talk to him throughout the game. It’s not even that call. It’s who he is on that floor. It’s pretty frustrating. You can’t have a conversation. You get a tech”.

    The 29-year-old went on: “Last year in the post-season, in the Western Conference Finals, I think he officiated a couple of our games. It’s lingering. It has to be looked at. For sure, it’s personal. For sure. I don’t think he should be able to officiate our games anymore, honestly”.

    It’s worth noting that the Rockets have lost all of their seven matches when Foster is among the referees.

    Excellent. I hope they look into it. I hope that what they find will be too big for them to sweep under the rug -- that Harden is a piece of whining cheating s*** and CP2 is adirty midget and that both should be suspended for pissing on the beautiful game of basketball.

    I'm reading that the entire scouting department wanted to take him, but Magic overruled them and took Moe.

    really surprised tatum didn't just engulf the raptors with flames from his eyeballs once the lead got too big. *shrug*

    If Dirk comes back for one more season, would he be the first player to play in 4 different decades? (90s,00s,10s,20s)

    Phenomenal game tonight between Toronto and Portland. Kawhi finishes them off in the final seconds. Fantastic stuff.

    If getting Trae Young is losing the trade, I wouldn’t mind losing some trades.

    Crazy stuff. Zach and Lauri are a great young duo. I thought Zach was decent but after the injury totally forgot about him, he's playing great this season. As for Markkanen, always knew he could play, happy for him.

    yeah, i mean doncic is clearly better, but both should have been drafted higher, it seems. though it's not like ayton, bagley, and jackson haven't played well, either. pretty rare that a top 5 looks this strong out of the gate.

    Another slick 12 point game on 33% shooting by Jayson Christ in 35 minutes. Just totally unstoppable right now.
