As comparison Reggie Miller is one of the greatest shooters of all time and he missed one in free throws. A free throw is when a player is unguarded and has ten seconds to collect themselves. Still one of the best shooters of all time will miss one in ten.
Refs are going to miss calls and when you compare NBA ref to NCAA refs their error rate is a lot lower.
If I run up and push someone to the floor and take the ball, that will be called 100/100 times. If not, then someone is messing up and should be fired. There are some calls that have to be called otherwise you just aren’t watching

What basketball league has less blown call than the NBA?
My local co-ed league.
What basketball league has higher salaries for ref than the NBA? Should we not have higher expectation?

Complaining about the calls is ridiculous this early in the game. The Nuggets have 2 more FTAs, and 2 less personal fouls. None of the TWolves starters are close to being in foul trouble. The refs are letting them play. Yes, they missed some calls here and there, but it's hardly egregious.

Does the Joker nickname bother anyone else? I know it’s a dumb complaint but his name isn’t even pronounced that way so it’s kinda silly lol.

Young Dirk crushing on rapper Foxy Brown. Just when I thought I couldn't like him any more.

Fat-Dirk would be a weird one. He has always been a string-bean. I can't imagine him NOT looking like that.

Kenny keeps saying if you beat one Smith you beat them all. That seems like the opposite of what he means to say.

Amazing how Murray can play like a star in the clutch after being so bad for long periods.
Truly an enigma.

I was bullish on the Mavs, until Luka banged up his knee. Not sure he'll be able to survive the grind of the playoffs + finals.
The Celtics will likely get KP back before the finals and they've got a relatively easy ride now.
