Thanks for the video. It's insane, Camby was a half mile away. Nate looked like he had gone into shock. IF it's true the NBA fined the ref, great, but it does not give Portland the game back at that point, down only 7, still in it, with Camby playing. And if the ref was fined, that should be made public.
While bullsit for the playoffs, it was still a foul on Camby. They just sent the wrong guy to the line. Hill still would have shot FT's
It was ticky-tacky, especially when Grant Hill was setting a moving pick in the first place, and Camby showed no intent behind his arm dragging across Hill's chest/neck. You know Hill: if he thought he'd been touched, he would have fallen to the ground.
I agree with all of this. All I am saying is that the people complaining that Nash wasn't fouled, and they shouldn't have shot FT's need to understand that either way because of the bad call, they were going to shoot FT's. Crawford called a foul on Camby for hitting Hill in the neck. It wasn't him calling a foul out of the blue. It was a bullshit call, but it was called. About as bad as Oden's foul last year when Yao ran into him during the playoffs. Bas call yes, but there was contact. They just sent the wrong guy to the line after the bad call. It's not like they wouldn't have got to shoot FT's anyway?
Oh yeah, agreed. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that Crawford was looking for any excuse to call a foul on Camby... that he let Nash go to the line just shows he didn't give a shit about the actual foul, just that it was on Camby. The bastard.
Hmm looks like you're kind of close to making a personal attack there? Not that I care but don't get holy (sorry about the pun ) on me about trolling. : P That's silly, you can post whatever you want in whatever forum as long as you follow the rules. Well with that avy, I'm not surprised. ;] Lol how do you miss this?
If this call was done in a Laker game and I came in the thread in the Lakers forum and posted what you posted kidding or not they would have told me to fuck off. Here is a link about this call: http://thehoopdoctors.com/online2/2010/04/worst-foul-call-in-the-history-of-the-nba/
but i thought the guys on the morning sports page said that calls didn't hurt the game at all and that it was a well officiated game? those guys are douches...
