Knicks · Contact league about officiating (page 1)

How come the Knicks don't complain to the league about Lin getting his head knocked off every play. So much so that he it is now in his head and he is missing the easy layups he was knocking down? I don't blame Dantoni for that tech but complaining in games does nothing

How do you know they haven't?

Lin has been getting killed. That was a bad flagrant from terry yesterday and hes been getting hit on 75% of his drives. Someone is going to have to step in and get a couple of techs to bring this to attention.

I really am trying to look at it as objectively as I can, but the officiating has been brutal all year for the Knicks. The fact that Dallas only comitted it's 1st foul in the 4th quarter w/ a minute and change left should be a pretty f%&king big red flag right there.

Breen was saying the wolves sent a tape to the league with footage of all the hard fouls Rubio is getting. Apparently Rubio is getting mauled as well.
Let's face it, the refs across the board don't like the Knicks.

I don't think the refs give a shit either way, it's just a job.
Refs suck for every team. You just see it from your team's perspective.

I just wanna see the players take an issue with the fouls. MDA got the tech for Lin, but I wanna see JR and Harrelson and Chandler get stinky about it. Doesn't mean start a fight, but at least give a hard foul or get up in their bidness

We have players to spare, why not just whack someone?

I don't think it's the nature of the fouls that is so irritating, but more the fact that the Knicks aren't getting calls and it ultimately halts runs and helps keep them outta striking distance. It happened quite a bit last night, but I didn't get as upset because the Knicks looked awful regardless.
I agree that we are probably biased because it's our team, but a specific ref, Haywoode Workman, and his crew suck some serious balls even in some of the non-Knick games I've watched and they have refereed.
Check out a game with him reffing and tell me his crew isn't a complete disaster. It's a joke.

Maybe fans should contact the league. Im sure the Knicks have not.
Even with their gag order Im sure they would tell us.
They tell us right? We are important and make all the best decisions.

Another reason Gallinari was good here, we needed a big time flopper.
The best way to work around terrible refs is to flop them.

man, i understand everyone is pissed about lin not getting calls but he is a rookie and rookies never get calls. he'll get his calls in due time.

100% right
This entire team acts like a bunch of pansies; its been the entire post 90's mantra. That's why our front line is routinely treated as a layup drill prop.
When's the last time someone did this:
Until someone steps up, this team will continue to be the league punching bag... Been this way for quite some time.

Kidd got fined $25,000 today for saying that the Mavs get more calls because they are the champions.

no, he was fined for saying that the Mavs DON"T get enough calls.
skeng@ 3/7/2012 8:18 PM
I could sure use 25,000 dollars right now

I had to laugh at that pick. Who thinks to do something like that? LOL

I don't know who that announcer is who is calling that a great pick -- what an asshole thing to say. He put his shoulder into it, looking to hurt the guy.

This is silly. I'm sure the league is already being contacted by every team's fans about the refs being out to get their team.
