Why I rarely watch basketball

agreed in determining who won.  used to be worse in the old days.

I put a little $ on I think it was Hendricks, who kicked GSP's *ss every which way, and GSP gets the win

The way I always cap games is, if it's not a very big advantage in your direction, pass.  Because then it's too random (up to judges, refs, whatever).  Better off pick and choose single games.  the pros pass, a lot

if this was a fight, Wisconsin would have knocked out duke.  no need for the refs

Yeah Wisconsin was playing a clean game and ended up in the double bonus.  Yet they couldn't get any call on the other end-at the end of the game they weren't even in the bonus.  As you said ticky tack, but those ticky tack fouls happen all the time and ONLY get called when there's a fix.  I see it over and over again.  Or what about the "block" on Winslow I think it was, rememeber that joke of a call.  Another non-ticky-tack was "Lius" Jones reversing his movement, slamming Gasser?'s jaw, 3-pointer off a jump shot

In the end it's just despair man....just what the hell ever happened to our country, where so much of what we do is all about $.  That said it looks like Silver is cleaning up the refs.  The most corrupt refs were in the NBA.  Stern used to personally pick the refs for the playoffs.  And he had plenty to do as Commish.  Enough said.

I mean worse in the old days for mma was...the other fighting, boxing.  we all know this

we all also know you gotta knock the champ out.  mma fighters same thing

gsp vs Hendricks a classic example
