Payton & Fran upset with the officiating

I mean this as kindly as possible. You're an unhinged lunatic who needs mental health assistance immediately..

The words I highlighted describe you, and what you need, perfectly.

And speaking of the immediate help that you need, Jimmy wrote this to you (the post is still there):

This is an online forum....Neither you or I can help ourselves if we don't go see the V.A. I'm guessing we can get you a disability rating....Just give it a thought.

I will say that officiating has not been kind to women's or mens late in games lately. The absurd "out of bounds" replay reversal for the women, now the men get two late contests on Minnesota drives that looked clean called fouls. Payton also says he was fouled a few times on his 3 pointers and I believe that.

There was also a play where Owen pump faked and a Minny defender bit hard, came flying in and hit his body on the way up, but it wasn't called and the other Minny player blocked Owen because of it.
Blaming officials only occurs when you lose.

First half I thought we benefitted from the officials. Got away with a lot of contact. Had fouls to give but weren't smart enough to take advantage. Fast forwarded the 2nd half until the final few minutes. PS gets bailed out on out of control drives with exaggerated movement more than any player in the league imo.

Both of you need to stop.
Chissy whines about unprovoked attacks. Well, who started the attacking in this thread?
That’s a fair question. I’m going to answer with @Moral.

IaHawks10, I appreciate your humor in this crazy situation.

Ragnar, I simply started this thread regarding Fran & Payton criticizing officiating.

@Moral then simply liked that post.

All was cool.

Chissy, however, saw that Moral liked my post and completely lost it, going at both Moral and me. That is NOT normal.

As you know, Chissy is bad enough on the Off Topic board, especially now that Trump is his president. Unfortunately, he waddled over here last night, looking to pick fights. I honestly don't think he's gonna make it over the next 4 years.

Bobby - "Why was Josh and Peyton having such a hard time?"

Fran - "Cuz they were getting the CRAP fouled out of them"

Awkward Silence.........

Bobby on to another question

I read the vitriol in this thread (and others), yet for some reason all my posts have had to be approved by a moderator for the past 5 months (which often takes until the next day), despite the fact I NEVER post anything anywhere near as bad.

Mods….I respectfully request my posts no longer need to be approved before being seen by others. If you review my posts over the past 5 months I think you will find they are relatively harmless. Thank you.

Those darn officials made us miss all of our three pointers for the first 3/4 of the game.

Those darn officials made us shoot less than 15% from three point range for the game.

Those darn official made us get behind by 17 points to the worst team in the league.

Those darn officials made us get outrebounded by 8, at home, against the #257 ranked team in rebound margin.

Those darn officials made us shoot 66% from the free throw line.

Those darn officials should never work another Iowa game ever.....then we'll be NATIONAL CHAMPS! Yay excuses!!
 
Be the more physical team and play defense like you're not just thinking about your next shot and you'll get calls.

Refs are human, they recognize/reward effort.

There was also this moment where the refs rewarded the most blatant travel of all time with three free throws.

Again - not why they lost. Refs suck, but so does the basketball team
 
If you're blaming the refs because you lost at home to the last place team in the league.. Maybe you should ask yourself why you were in a situation where those calls mattered in the first place. These are games you've just got to take care of. Ooops.
