Refs and league predetermine games?

[ammofan]

Okay, I am quite pissed off about this Heat game. Gerald Wallace got 0 calls his way during the game, and who was guarding him? LeBron James. Gerald was even visibly upset about this which is something we rarely see from him. Now Im not just mad because we lost, but because I feel we had the chance to win this game if we would have been given better calls throughout the game. Tyrus and Gerald got into instant foul trouble......Its just crazy. ANyone else agree with me?


Also: The game is still going on.....Wade gets intentionally fouled and throws the ball from half court 3 secs after the call was made.....no delay of game call for that? BS

If Stern was going to predetermine a Heat game, it'd be that they lose. He hates what they did, and likes MJ.

Gerald played out of control and let his poor jump shooting affect how he played the game. I love him, but that was on him. The call at the end where he fouled out was clearly a charge.

Im with you. Especially when it comes to Steve Javie. He is one of, if not the worst, NBA ref. You almost know we are going to lose the game before it starts if he is officiating.

I dont think that was a charge on Gerald. Haslem shuffled his feet while Wallace was in the air. Overall, poorly officiated.

Javie was embaressingly biased during the 2nd quarter especially. If ref's could be suspended, he should be.

And Dwade's complaining about the foul on Livingston's dunk attempt should've been a Technical (it is for the Bobcats every time with less lip service).

Javie may or may not be the worst ref, he's definitely not good, but he missed calls on both ends. Whether the 'Cats got the benefit of the doubt or not, they had ample opportunity to win the game. If it was predetermined, then they wouldn't have come back from down 19 to lead by 2.

And did you watch the replay? Haslem was set for at least a second. It was a charge, no ifs, ans or buts about it.

And I love Crash.

I guess we just disagree on this.... do you think its any coincidence that Javie is the same ref who was the reason Jackson was fined 50,000 after the Detroit game?? The guy is terrible.

What about Wade dancing around the baseline with less than a min left. Trapped in the corner, hopping around. Yet, when Gerald does something similar earlier in the game, Javie calls a travel from midcourt. How is he even able to make that call!

Refs didn't cost us this game.

Grow up.

Glad to know we agree on something. Has Satan texted you yet on when hell's freezing over?

Satan doesn't know when Kwame's getting his first start, but he did send me a few smiley faces when I asked about UPS getting extended minutes.
