BBallHaps LLC Live Stream - Why Referees Make Bad Calls

Episode 3

Most of the time when the refs blow the whistle, its because a player committed a foul. Sometimes the player disagrees that it wasn't a foul and argue with the referee. Like say that you're trying to get open and then the opponent player pushes you then you push him back and then he pushes u right back on the ground and the ref calls a foul on you. Refs make bad calls because they either don't pay attention, made a mistake, or they got offended by a player.

Lets start off with the types of fouls, There are offensive fouls, fouls you commit when playing offense, technical fouls, where you argue or trash talk at an opponent. or a ref, reach-in where you try to steal the ball from the opponent, loose ball where neither team has possession of the ball, personal where one team has possession and flagrant where one player injures another player. Most of the time refs call a personal foul on a defensive player. So say if a player playing offense misses a shot and gets its own rebound and you try to get the rebound and the other player shoves you but then the ref blows the whistle and he points at you and you got the foul. This is one reason why refs make bad calls at the wrong person because they don't really pay attention at what the player who attempts to get the ball.

So moving on, another reason refs make bad calls is not being careful. Whenever there's a huge issue where one player argues with another on who fouled who like in Game 4 of the Finals where Draymond green was supposed to be ejected from the game because he had 2 technical fouls: one from Iman Shumpert and one for arguing at an offical. Although Green was supposed to be ejected, he still remained in the game. However, Green wasn't responsible for the first tech but it was non other than Warriors head coach Steve Kerr for arguing at the ref. Let that be a lesson for other refs. 

All together, most refs make bad calls mostly by making mistakes because there's so much going on in the game. In the future, they should carefully watch the replay computer.... or at least pay close attention! Jeeezz!!

Why NBA Players Should Go To College

Why NBA Players Should Go To College

Episode 2

Many NBA players go to college so they could enter the NBA Draft although most of them only go for only a year. But some players like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant who were so good and talented that they didn't go to college. I'm surprised that MJ didn't do it. My input on this is that high school athletes should go to college and play ball there for a couple of seasons if they want to go pro.

First off, there are some cons of trying to draft into the NBA. Number 1 is maturity. High school students lack maturity physically and mentally. They don't know what it takes to play in the NBA. They won't tale it seriously and turn it into a joke. Secondly, there's time. These young athletes need hours of practicing if the want to go pro. However there are rules on how long players can be at the gym. And even though they need to practice more, they still need a god education. Next, there's the second contract. Some high school players may be so god and talented that they could just bypass college an go pro. They wanted to be signed with a team right away. However, those talented athletes aren't really ready for the  because there are still some thing that they aren't prepared for.

Last reason why high school players shouldn't bypass college and be a professional is work ethic. Just because you're the best athlete in the whole school doesn't mean you can just slack off and just go to the draft. There's a lot of fierce competition out there and if you want to play professional ball you have to work really hard and give it all you got an the best way to do that is college because if you play for a couple of years you're most likely to be fully ready for playing in the league.

So to summarize, its better to stay in college to practice more and to work hard so that you would have a good education when you play in the NBA.

Why Next NBA Season Would Be Boring Yet Competitive

Why Next NBA Season Would Be Boring Yet Competitive

Episode 1

What would next season be like?

After the Cavs and Warriors trilogy in the NBA Finals, most superstars from the Eastern Conference have moved out west  for a quest in winning a championship. After the Cavs lost, the general manager was fired. They were trying to recruit more superstar like Paul George from the Pacers and Jimmy Butler from the Bulls. However their plan backfired because Paul George had interest of signing with the Lakers since nobody wanted Kevin Love or Iman Shumpert.

For the Boston Celtics, they recieved Gordon Hayward from the Utah Jazz. With Gordon on the Celtics, this would give them a chance to compete with Cleveland to claim a title. But the Celtics had to make some room for Hayward as they traded Avery Bradley, one of the best defenders in the league, to the Detroit Piston, and Kelly Olynik. For the Wizards, John Wall signs a 4 year, $170 million extension with the Washington Wizards, same thing with Bradley Beal and Otto Porter. By the way, u know how LeBron's going to play his last season with the Cavs and Kyrie wants out when LeBron leaves? Well Kyrie changed his mind on being traded this season because he says he wants to be the main guy and doesn't want to play with LeBron any more. Just remember Kyrie doesn't really score a lot when LeBron's around. If he was on a team like the heat or the Knicks, he would be a scoring machine. He's a type of player  who scores when he needs to. But the Spurs would be another story because u you still got Kawhi Leonard who averaged 28 a game last season. The Timberwolves,  Kyrie's last interest has 2 players tat averages over 20 a game, so it would probably be more easy for Kyrie to score a little bit more.

Meanwhile in the West, its getting a whole lot interesting with the Rockets, Timberwolves, and Thunder. Chris Paul of the LA Clippers has signed with the Houston Rockets along with James Harden. The Rockets are still trying to lure Carmelo Anthony to Houston by making a 3-way deal with the Knicks and the Trailblazers. However, the Knicks aren't sure whether to let Carmelo go for trading even though the Cavs are still trying to get Anthony by trading their bench. For the Timberwolves, with Jimmy Butler added to the starting 5 along with Karl Anthony-Towns and Andrew Wiggins, there is no doubt that the Timberwolves would head to the playoffs. As for the Thunder, they recieved Paul George and traded Victor Olidipo, Domantas Sabonis and Enes Kanter to the Pacers and since they did that, Westbrook would have plenty of help but wouldn't really average a triple-double for every game. Who knows? Maybe he will.

In conclusion, the Cavs and Warriors Era may come to an end as new superteams are being created out west, LeBron playing his last season with the Cavs and Kyrie leaving to get traded, and also the 2017 draft rookies about to make their first debut playing in the league. Who knows what will happen next season?
