The amount of missed calls that the NBA referees usually miss goes to show that somebody is not doing their job. Paul George has sounded off on the topic because quite frankly, enough is enough.
It’s tough to really prove if a referee plays favorite among certain teams but when you see certain patterns carry on time after time, you can’t help but notice it. The Pacers were playing against the Bulls and lost 90-85. If you glance at some reactions, some say that there were some missed calls. Pacers’ Paul George is one who sounded off on the topic and even went as far to suggest that some refs pick favorites.
I’ve been fined multiple times. I’ve been vocal to the point where the league issues [a statement], ‘Hey, we missed a call. Hey, we missed that.’ Officials do it during games [saying], ‘I missed that call, I missed this call. We’re sorry. We’re sorry.’
It’s getting repetitive. They see it, they know what’s going on. They know what’s a foul. They know what’s not a foul. It comes down from somewhere else how these games are going, I believe.
George continued to develop his thoughts and even stated that there may be some favoritism.
Since I’ve been in this jersey, we’ve always fought this battle. Ever since I’ve been playing, ever since I’ve been in this jersey we’ve fought this battle. Maybe the league has teams they like so they can give them the benefit of the doubt. We’re the little brother of the league.
We’re definitely the little brother of the league.
If you’re a Knicks fan, you probably read this and said, “Welcome to Melo’s world.” One thing’s for sure, refs should be held accountable for missed calls. It’s perhaps the only way that’ll fix errors that occur all around sports.
