You get the same weak excuses every night, that 'I didn't see it, I didn't see it.' You've got three guys who are supposed to do their jobs." </div> its about time he finally says something...the Wizards get no respect from the officials...especially Larry Hughes Story
Is he criticizing the refs for being unfair to the Washington Wizards? Didnt the Wizards sort of kicked Jordan out from the Wizards franchise?

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting VAs Finest:</div><div class="quote_post">they get no calls what-so-ever</div> Thats because Wizards have no one on their roster who deserve the calls.Sounds harsh but It's true.With Stack and Arenas out the refs won't give you all the calls.The players you have starting and playing don't deserve the calls and therefore won't get them.Thats the way it goes.

Deserve? 'Not gonna get' is one thing, but 'deserve' is something else. Gilbert Arenas doesn't 'deserve' more calls than even someone like Brendan Haywood. He's 'gonna get' more though. Just cuz you're a brand name player and make more money doesn't make you 'deserve' calls. Sure, I know that guys like TMac, the Answer, the Truth, and Kobe all get questionable calls, but that doesn't mean they 'deserve' them. I think it is the coach(Eddie Jordan)'s responsibility to make sure his players are getting those calls though, and I'm impressed with how Jordan has stepped up in this case.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting VAs Finest:</div><div class="quote_post">So your going to tell me Larry Hughes doesnt Deserve any calls</div> Is he some star I don't know about? He was hyped to do something but never did.You can hate it all you like but fact is some players deserve the calls because of their style of play.No one on the Wizards has that style of play where they will get to the line or get calls in general.Jerry Stackhouse is the one guy who will get some calls.As he is a good quick slasher that gives teams problems.
I really don't see why you're going to criticize the refs when you're going to be fined for it. There's no point for talking because you can't change the ref's mindset. They're going to keep doing what they do to the best of their ability.
