It's really easy and enjoyable to watch Wolves games because of the rooting interest that I have. But I have to tell you, with the constant complaining and lobbying that goes on, I have a hard time watching most other games. If I could be commissioner for a day, I would ban all player initiated conversation with the officials. That would include dialogue, throwing your hands in the air, and any other demonstrative behavior directed at the officials. Just get rid of it all. The game would be so much more enjoyable to watch. I'd allow coaches to talk to the officials, but only during breaks in live play.
I have to say I agree, Cool. Baseball is much stricter about complaining about calls, and I think the NBA can learn from that. I have little problem with a quiet conversation with a ref during a free throw, but the histrionic reactions are tiresome. The change in KAT's demeanor in the past two years shows it's not difficult for someone to change his behavior...and KAT is much easier to cheer for since he stopped the incessant whining. Ant is our biggest offender and would really have to change to avoid getting tossed, but I would like to see it...might even make him a better player. Come on Silver...get this done.
Bitching about officiating is actually part of the NBA brand experience at this point.
Check out any forum, Twitter, or any other venue with NBA fans... collective bitching about officiating is one of the biggest topics. It keeps people talking and talking and talking about the NBA. It keeps people sharing images, videos and more (all with prominent NBA and sponsorship branding in every shared piece of content) over and over again.
Don’t know how legit of story this out of barstool sports but it sounds like the Heat waited till Spoelstra divorce was final to give him his contract extension.
Pat Riley is the ultimate baller that’s all I have to say about this lol
Amid rumors of the Lakers having interest in Dejounte Murray, the Atlanta crowd last night chanted "We Don't Want You" when DLO was at the free throw line.

This made me check Cam twitter and the first thing I saw was hypothetical trades to get Dlo back on the wolves
Ya know, there is a world where having DLO as our main backup PG and occasionally pairing him with Conley makes sense. Then have him sit during crunch time or if he's ice cold. Probably too much baggage there, but it isn't completely insane in my opinion.

If you take out the rumors of him and gobert not getting along I would not hate it either

DLo is having a nice season, and as much as I generally dislike his game, I would endorse this trade. Lakers wouldn't do it though.
