I get him completly, people are going for LeBron vs Kobe finals and of course Stern is rooting for it, because of the ratings. If refs fuck up Magic's playoff, you can tell something's up
I'm pulling for Orlando to win the whole thing myself. They're a great team who always look like they're having fun. The NBA and sponsors however are pulling for high ratings.....a Nuggets/Magic finals would rank up there with the disastrous Spurs/Cavs finals a few years ago. Go Orlando!
Techincal on Dwight last night???????????? Seriouslt this game is rigged,fucked,fixed or what ever. Just disgusting.. This is his last T before getting suspended
Yeah the Tech on Melo was retarded. They should rescind it. The officials have been out of control with calling technicals the entire playoffs in every series. The officials need to understand the emotions run high in the post season and they need to be less sensitive about players reacting out to calls or non-calls. They flashed a graphic last night showing all the players who are in jeopardy of reaching 7 technicals. I don't ever remember that many players being close to a suspension. Usually it would only be Rasheed Wallace close to the 7 technical foul limit. This year there's 5 or 6 players with 3 or more. I wouldn't read too much into Howard's blog. Sometimes players create controversy to fire themselves and their teammates up. Players generally play better when they have a chip on their shoulder and feeling disrespected is Howard's chip. Howard should be careful what he wishes for though. Having the expectation to win from fans and the media will put unnecessary pressure on him and his teammates.
