That may have had something to do with it
I hear we were down by 37 at one point. Who are we, the Knicks? Glad this one wasn't on TV.
Violet Palmer is the worst offical ever. I hate her.
No offense to any women that may (or may not) be reading this, I think it's incredibly stupid that she is officiating at the NBA level just because she is a woman. How do I know this you ask? Well, granted they would never admit this, but it's good for \"diversity\" and all that BS. Stupid. She sucks. If Violet Palmer were a man I'd still say he/she is the worst official ever.
Ok, I'll stop now.
Good greif! If your only going to have one women referee in the NBA at least pick one that can ref. It was controversial when she came on board but it should make no difference. Reffing is not a physical thing, it's a mental thing. One gender has no advantage over the other. But to scuelch the criticism of the narrow minded, if you are only going to hire only one women for Gods sake get a good one.
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner.
I'm happy to see that I am not the only one that feels this way.
If you meant me, don't even worry about it.
I have been saying that she needed to at least re-train if not get booted since she was persuaded by Boston's coach over that whole Ricky Davis shot that should have been a three pointer but there were \"too many feet\" to be sure. What the heck is that? It's your JOB to distinguish between feet and whose are on what side of the line. Geez.
I think it's great that they want some diversity. But to have diversity you shouldn't have to sacrifice skill. We've already been over this, but I still think it would be great if there was a female coach someday. But ONLY if she knew what she was doing and did it with confidence.
