Thank you Zebras...

For screwing Pheonix by not calling that last second, obvious foul on Denver.

Now they need to endure another 5 minutes of play. Already down 4. Fvck you.

[Tsoprano]

Down 5.

This is what pisses me off about the NBA, the fouls are so inconsistent. That should off been a foul, I dont know why I am bitching since I have the Nuggets, other than from game to game I dont know what a foul is.

[Tsoprano]

After all that went on tonight, the game get's decided by either a bs call, or a no call at the end.

Unfukkingreal.

[Immortality]

That's why on one hand I can't stand all the players bitching about fouls. On the other hand ref's are so inconsistent with their calls that the players sometimes have no phucking idea what is or isn't a foul.

[Tsoprano]

Amare needs to knock these free throws down.

[tullamore]

I know the NFL grades their refs, and the results determine who refs the postseason, does anyone know if the NBA does anything like this?

[Immortality]

Wow Kenyon Martin a phucking three pointer. Are you kidding me.

[Tsoprano]

I knew the Suns were done after the game got sent into OT.

refs don't ever call fouls in those situations, they don't want to decide the game

[fearless]

I think everyone should read this:

"I've always thought the most likely targets of gamblers would be the referees. They make peanuts, they're highly abused both by the fans and players, and they have more control over a game than anyone else. Moreover, the normal incompetence of NBA referees would be a perfect disguise for a corrupt one. It seems to me that the NBA has gone out of its way to keep its referees poor and incompetent - and I mean clear around-the-barn-out-of-the-way."

the quote above is from Bill Russell and it was from his book Second Wind published in 1979.

But in turn by not calling an obvious foul, are they not still deciding the game?

Lol.

They did decide the game by letting Denver trip him to the floor and get away with it.

A no call is just as costly as a BS call.

[unde0087]

I know, i agree he was fouled, but the refs whether it is in the NBA or CBB, they let that contact happen 99% of the time unless the guy really gets hacked because they don't want to decide the game with a whistle. If you watch alot of games, that is always how it is.

So after all of these years as a gambler you haven't worked out how this whole home field/court advantage works?

[Dark Horse]

Some players get the respect in that situation. Hill doesn't. Nash doesn't either. Even though he's a two time MVP. Better to play 1H if you want to avoid the end game.

Dont play NBA, way too easy to rig...

NHL and MLB are the only safe sports
