Because of that horribly officiated game that cost the knicks victory, this has been started

This was a league order 6 techs in the game. Why? Simple this stems from the previous game and comments made after about toughness and not helping opponents up. That is my opinion. The league does read this stuff. The image of tough hard nose basketball scares the NBA and they want none of it.
Usually i never complain about refs but last night was terrible. One play KP didnt even touch the guy and they called a foul forcing him to sit
No excuses.
Team should show character.
Shut up and play and respect will come.
Melo, Rose , Noah, Lee think they are entitled to get calls.
No they don't.

While I agree with your take on entitlement, those calls and non-calls against the Knicks were awful. Within the game, yes, shutup and play. After the game, the front office needs to act. Uncle Phil was great at doing this during his coaching days. He needs to open his mouth now.

Opponents do whatever they want to Melo because they know 90% of the time, nothing is called. This has gone on long enough.
Getting punched in the face while taking a jumper or on a decent move to the basket doesn't build character.
Everyone in the league is entitled to refs calling fouls when one is committed. This isn't the '90's NBA any more.
We're not talking about Danny Ainge-type whining here.

The thing with the NBA is that there is a thing called a superstar call. Melo is not going to get those. I think you guys know why.

Right. Because Harden and KD and Westbrook have already achieved more in their careers, so our resident overpaid franchise pariah doesn't deserve the same treatment.
Got it. Thanks for clearing that up.
GAME 6 of the 2013 Semi-finals series in which they allowed A FORMER PACER, Haywoode Workman, to officiate in the pivotal game
Wow I didn't know that.
Just wow
