Damian Lillard irate goaltending not called late in 42-point game vs. Jazz | 2019-20 NBA Highlights

[@pdboomin2]

Refs should be held 100% accountable for their mistakes. I’m tired of them coming out w reports the next day simply admitting if they made a mistake or a missed call. Players get fined for the smallest reasons - refs should be held on the same standards as the players

[@vashoutlaw8278]

Agreed. I didn't watch the game, but I read they had a blown time out call and a blown foul call in the Orlando game that possibly cost the Magic the game. To top it off, the Magic's coach was fined $25,000 for calling them out on it.

[@AnthonyY]

It’s because they don’t pay the refs nearly as much to warrant fines. Which their pay is subsequently why we get such a poor product from them

[@pdboomin2]

Anthony Y either fine them an appropriate % of their salary or serve a suspension of x amount of games - there has to be some sort of repercussion for failing to do their job

[@Liquidmetal702]

Any job gets held accountable. These refs couldnt work fast food.

this ingram/gobert issue was nothing compared to this. ingram was actually ROLLING THE BALL off his body in a weird way just to try and draw contact with gobert. and he did draw contact but at what point is it no longer an attempted shot and just and attempt to draw contract and hope the refs think it is a shot. had gobert not even touched him, there was no chance the ball would even hit the rim. in this instance, I think the ball would have went in had it not been goaltended.
