<div class="quote_poster">Quoting lost_elephant:</div><div class="quote_post">well we know who the refs want to win the title this year. detroit got robbed.</div> ROFL, that is hilarious. Yes the refs want the Timberwolves to win the title. Did I mention ?
Right now, I think last night's foul on Chauncey was the worst. When I cool down from that, maybe I can think about something else. Really, though, the refs ruined that game. It's interesting that they call nothing the whole game long, and wait until the last shot to call an imaginary offensive foul.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">The Wolves have had 2 calls go their way this week that were absolutely pathetic. The KG travel</div> Wow, KG had one non travel call. How many non calls have gone against Kobe, Duncan and Shaq on travels. All the damn time. Especially Kobe with his 3 step layups he takes all the time.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting purehoops:</div><div class="quote_post">Did I mention ?</div> Which post? It seems to be a trademark from you. I rememer a non-call of Robert Traylor. Went coast to coast for the jam, only problem was he took four big steps. I think the refs felt sorry for the guy though and didn't call it, cos he got so excited afterwards.
I remember the WCF Kings vs Lakers.. Mike Bibby got slapped up and down the court and no foul was called en route to the Lakers winning.. I remember the one where Kobe elbowed bibby in the face and then ran him over as he fell down.. if thats not a foul i dont know what is
Since when did Duncan travel and get away with it? Artest got away with a big travel last night, late in the game. And dex, the refs aren't human?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Crossover:</div><div class="quote_post">Since when did Duncan travel and get away with it?

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Crossover:</div><div class="quote_post"> And dex, the refs aren't human?</div> They are human and make mistakes. I mistyped that one word. I went back and fixed it. One thing I have noticed over the years of watching the NBA is that all the stars get the calls. If a superstar is traveling its a no-call however if it is an average player does it, it is called every time. The same goes for calls that should be charges as well as hand checking calls.
Travelling doesn't count. This is the NBA, remember? The game would come to a screeching halt if travelling was called every time it happened...
When Sac got knocked out of the playoffs 2 years ago from the Lakers. There were numerous bad calls leading people to believe the Nba fixed the game
Worst No call: Jordan's "push off" Also, hate to say this, but Malone when he was absolutely molesting the Rockets in '97. He should have got called for alot of fouls
KG gets hammered in the lane and the refs just don't blow the whistle ! .. I ain't a Wolves fan but this guy as hard as he work .. he gets hacked in the lane and dunks the ball and gives the ref a stare .. and then on another offinsive trip ... he does the same thing .. and the refs still don't call it .. I guarentee you if the referees blow their whistle on every foul that has been commited on Kevin .. he's going to lead the league in both scoring and free throw attempts ..

Yea, the Jazz were dirty (and clever) back then. John Stockton was the worst!!! He would blind side guys with picks and just fall on the floor and get calls.
The worst call ever was in Game 4 of the 2002 NBA West Conference Finals (Kings vs. Lakers). At half-time, Samaki Walker hit an almost half-court shot but they said it counted. During halftime, some commenattor reviewed it and saw that that he didn't make it (the hand was on the ball still after the buzzer). In the fourth quarter, fnal seconds, at the buzzer, Horry made a good shot, but the Walker shot didn't count, made the Kings actually to win. They would of gone 3-1 and win the series that time.
After the Western Conference Finals 2 years ago, I defintally believed that the NBA was fixed for the Lakers to win, without a doubt in my head. They made it just a little too obvious, don't ya'll think.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">Different level. I can see close calls, but that call was too obvious to miss. You have to admit that.</div> Nope... Garnett bobbled the ball. Yes he traveled but it still the same as when Shaq walks, or Yao. Kobe gets away with the most 3 steps I have ever seen.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting iamme:</div><div class="quote_post">Travelling doesn't count. This is the NBA, remember? The game would come to a screeching halt if travelling was called every time it happened...</div> If the NBA cracked down on travelling, then you would see less travels. Players know they can get away with it, and subsequently they try and sneak and extra step or too.
the worst call ever is the 94 playoffs bulls at knicks, bulls should have won the series and went on to the finals to play the rockets...hugh holins made the call...hubert davis was the one who got "fouled" while shooting a 3 pointer i believe by scottie pippen (who should have been MVP of the league)...went onto game 7 and the knicks won the series...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mr_Infante:</div><div class="quote_post">The "Your a rookie and your not getting that call." rule.</div> yeah i agree rookies get bitter tastes but i think successful ones like iverson, duncan, and now carmelo and lbj are getting calls from the refs...
