Love this trick Bam used to steal the tip



Refs never catch the off arm grab and it’s always the guy with his back to the ref tossing the ball doing the grabbing. Rudy has so many legit fouls against him it’s amazing he doesn’t flip out more often. Sideline ref missed the call right off the bat.

    Can’t expect the 3 refs to watch the only 2 guys jumping for the 1 ball. The math just doesn’t work.

    You would think there’s trained professionals who can watch that and called it a foul.

    I really need to check the subs when I read the description. Initially I thought it was about Viva La Bam and Bam stealing Uncle Vito’s tip jar or something.

    This is better.

    lol. Complaining about the refs on the first play of the game.

  5. As Jim Pete has pointed out, it’s probably better not to win the opening tip anyway. Would rather start out the second half with the ball.

    The reason Rudy doesn’t complain is that he already knows he’s gonna get a tech just for even looking at the refs. The best part is that we’ve been winning despite the disadvantage all year. Must be hard for Silver to watch.

    I think that was the most lopsided reffing I’ve seen this season. Heat fans are complaining about KAT bashing into Jimmy on that one play towards the end, but outside of that there were so many incorrect calls that were all in the Heat’s favor.

    The refs are always bad, but usually the badness ends up being a wash between the two teams. Wolves seemed to be called for a lot more (or Heat not called when they should have been).

    Players do this way too often for refs not to call it

    The “missed” all kinds of calls last night.

    Zach Zarba is a clown.

    This doesn’t brother me at all, we won the game.

  11. The “rule” is supposed to be the ball can’t be touched until it hits its peak height too, right? Others have pointed out that Rudy might not even try on opening tips (perhaps this is even coached – I could easily see choosing not to win on strategy) but for any other jump ball I feel like 95% of the time someone hits it on the way up…
