Seriously. If there was ever a time to go ballistic, this was it for Nate. I'm so sick of his act on the sideline.
I don't understand why we continue to do this to ourselves. The NBA hasn't been legit for decades, yet we keep on pretending like the games actually mean something. It's a product. David Stern has created a product. He protects that product. Guys like LeBron, Wade, and Kobe are the face of his product, so he protects them. But I have long known that Stern wants a good series to go seven games. We will win game six and then (hopefully) they call the game straight up in game seven.
I haven't seen pictures, so here's a good video of the play in question: [video=youtube;vaZIAXJJDKQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaZIAXJJDKQ[/video]
I laughed my ass off when he points to his throat and says something like Camby choked Nash ... I can only assume Crawford was hallucinating.
I had access to 9 cameras last night, and that replay was the ONLY look I had! It was so off the ball and random!
Those of you who are trying to either justify the call or see it through the eyes of the official are killing me. It is what it appears to be. Period. We are all morons for caring.
I agree. If not at that moment, when?? What the hell has to happen for the team to do something? Or at least bitch about it repeatedly to the media. I haven't watched any coverage of the game, did it get mentioned at all?
Did Bayless foul Nash? I haven't seen a high enough quality version to tell. Maybe Crawford thinks they all look alike?
I think it's a little disapointing that a mod is trolling as well. We don't need that in here, and you, of all people, should understand that. As for the call. Camby was whistled for an absolute ticky tacky foul that he commited on Grant Hill. he came off the screen and hit Hill in the neck. It was a bull shit foul for the playoffs, but none the less, a foul. The mistake was putting Nash at the line. Nash wasn't involved in the play at all, and my friend, who works for the NBA, told me that Crawford was fined by the NBA for his mistake.
geez, lighten up. The first read of his post got a laugh out of me. There isn't much grey area here, it was a ridiculous call and as a L*ker fan dude is joking around. STOMP
Regardless, try posting a "joke" about the L*kers or their resident rapist on their forum and see how quickly you get deleted or asked to leave. We have to put up with these piece of shit L*ker fans on our board, so the least they can do is not poke fun at our situation.
