http://tinyurl.com/mcla8m Jason Kidd was preparing to answer a question about the NBA using replacement referees during the preseason and perhaps in the regular season. Then, he caught himself. "There are too many cameras and mikes," he said. Intrusive media members won't get the unfiltered version of what players think about having replacement referees if the NBA and the referees' union cannot agree on a collective bargaining agreement before the season starts next month. The league is prepared to lock out the referees over what amounts to NBA chump change – less than $1 million separates the two sides, according to several reports. The referees have accepted that they will have to make give-backs to the league. But they will only go so far. The players, for the most part, will adjust. "It's going to be a work in progress for everybody if they can't work out the agreement," Kidd said. "Some guys will have the opinion that replacement officials are just as good as the old officials. One way to look at it is it'll be a fairer playing field for everybody because nobody will have an advantage. "The officials will call what they see. I think veteran clubs will have the advantage just to keep your composure, play the game the right way and if the whistle is blown, it's a foul and you move on." Not that the regular referees have any preconceived notions about specific players or teams, of course. But replacement referees will be working with a blank canvas. Most of them will have never talked with Kobe Bryant or Dirk Nowitzki or LeBron James before. The bad news is the replacements are not the best referees on the planet, which the regular NBA referees are. In fact, at least one referee fired by the NBA earlier this decade, Michael Henderson, is on the list of replacement refs, according to several reports. NBA owners and management are not allowed to talk about the situation. The league had a similar rift with the referees in 1995 – the last time replacement referees were employed. Thomas procedure goes well: Forward Tim Thomas had arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to repair a cartilage tear in his right knee. Dr. T.O. Souryal performed the procedure at Texas Sports Medicine, and while no timetable was set for Thomas' return, players typically need three to six weeks to come back from a procedure like this one. That means Thomas should be basketball-ready by the time the season begins Oct. 27, if not, shortly thereafter. 預計備用裁判要上場了 換一換也好@@... 說不定裁判影響的部份會更小... 另外Thomas手術相當順利 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.38.57.240
