because people/refs make mistakes?

Wow, that almost looks like Jordan-type calls.

 

[pennylane]

Can we stop with the Wade-Jordan comparisons? No way Jordan would get those calls.

That's one of the reasons I watch less NBA. The fouls for nothing when stars are driving are pretty common.

No because stars get ridiculous calls. You can watch any given game and you'll see it. Not even close to as obvious as this one, but it's usually there.

yes, stars get preferential treatment, I am a lakers fan and will freely admit that Kobe gets lots of BS calls, but so do all the other stars. The most flagrent in my mind is when Lebron James drives to the basket while palming the ball and tanking several steps before dunking. Its like everyone is so in awe of his crazy dunk they don't bother to notice that he he ran it in from behind the 3 point line, this happens ALL the time.

yeah, they need to cut out the bullsh1t and let players play thru the ticky tack fouls

 

[platinumike]

what im tired of is theese flashy players that do their spin moves are take more than 2 steps on a layup. I think the NBA is making it so they can have another Jordan again.

That's why I don't watch the NBA. They have rules on the books which are ignored, and stars get blatantly preferential treatment.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

i wish someone would call stern out on this.

 

[waggy]

nothing is going to happen. The NBA is based on having mega stars. during the Jordan era the NBA was having huge amounts of people watch. they are trying to recapture that again.

They're paid very well not to. that call was obvious crap, and any of the Refs could've seen it if they pulled their head out of their ass.

You can't seriously be that naive about the NBA. While yes, they do make mistakes it's pretty blatant in the NBA. If you argue that, you are delusional, in denial, or retarded.
