    One of my buddies sent me this link. Looks like no problems so far with the replacment refs, but then again, there are 69 of them and this is only 3 of them.

    I know I am in the minority (I would like to see the NBA clean all the current refs out and start over) but it probably won't happen.

    agreed, wipe the slate clean, and start all over without star preferences and grudges.

    Portland finally gets a star, and now the Blazers don't get to reap the benefits? :devilwink:

    I am kind of glad there are replacement refs. Makes me feel like all the corrupt bastard refs are gone.

    And maybe Oden can stay in the game for 5 minutes.

    Wow, hasoos, we agree! I would like to see the star treatment go away and these refs don't know any better so the games will at least be ref'd more fairly- even if the quality isn't as good.

    I guess my question is, was he really ever going to reap that benefit with the current crew in place?

    Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, OK? What are we talking about this for?
    Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
    Hudson: Fuckin' A...
    Burke: Ho-ho-hold on, hold on one second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
    Ripley: They can *bill* me.


    I probably quote the "nuke the entire site from orbit" line about once a week. It's such a great way to solve so many goddamn problems.

    Judging replacement refs on a low pressure, minimal effort preseason game is not the wisest.

    Looks pretty close to it. But you have to remember a lot of the guys playing in these games will not even make the NBA and committ a lot of fouls. Pre-Season games can get down right fugly in the 2nd half.

    Sure, but I'm not seeing how almost 90 FT attempts in a meaningless game makes a case against the regular refs.

    Thanks, I'd completely forgotten that Johan Petro wasn't the go-to player for the Nuggs. :drumroll:

    I said it three weeks ago: You people are not going to be happy with replacement refs.

    Replacement Refs = Backup Quarterbacks. Everyone loves them until you have to watch them every game.

    Good god, 90 FTs in a preseason game. That would be like paying money to watch paint dry.

    And, if they are going to call the games like they do in summer league, they should also give the players 10 fouls before they are disqualified. That way, Oden might make it to the second half before fouling out.
