Mitchell about to get hit with a fine

[JazzyFresh]

By holding onto the ball with the same hand that gets hacked off the ball?

Alright bud.

Drooping the ball below his knees. Harden gets this call Donovan don't. That was my point lol.

Be careful, JazzyFresh is about to start demanding you start proving stuff to him on his terms... It gets scary. I mean we all want to please the guy, but it's so hard.

Leave it in the politics thread please.

LOL!

Foul... definitely. That's what the challenge SHOULD be able to change. Most other sports have implemented challenges successfully. Let's get with the times.

He'll get fined.....moments after the last 2 minute report proves him right....ridiculous.

 

[Archie Moses]

While I agree with him, maybe he needs to realize that only Harden gets that call and that he needs to stop drooping the ball like that.

A lot more players besides Harden gets that call.

If this sets Mitchell back a bit, I've got a spare bedroom he is more than welcome to stay in until he gets back on his feet.

L2M report says Hill's defense on Mitchell was clean.

The last two minute reports are extremely ref friendly... that was a foul and it wasn’t the Harden LoPo through foul... he was trying to get his arms up to shoot... bad missed call and even worse analysis.

Why is NBA officiating such **** and petty? You'd think they'd have some dignity and actually want to make good calls. Seems like too many people with no self respect get into the reffing biz. If I was one I'd want to be known as the best in the league instead of being infatuated with being in dick measuring contests and subtle passive aggressive ********.

It's so weird that they'd recognize the Hill foul on Mitchell as a missed call when it didn't change the outcome of the game, but not now when it clearly did.

So very weird.

Because by the time you get to that level, you’re absorbed into the bureaucracy that has a mind of its own. You’ve spent years learning how to fit in to that culture. By the time you’re there, you feel like one of the group, and your thinking and bias has changed. You witness everyone hating your calls so it makes it really easy to ignore any reason for self-reflection. And you’re working for a business. A business whose success means your success, and you want to be a good company guy, and having spent years on the inside, you recognize the nuance, or perceived nuance, of making a successful entertainment package with long-term viability, even if you despise those who consume the product — because they sure as **** hate you.

But yeah, no ethical reformer is going to come into the fold without being brought down a peg or two. I don’t say that with any inside knowledge of the NBA, but because that’s how everything functions everywhere.
