I'm really geting bored with the NBA refs and their obvious biased calls. When is the NFL season starting?

Graycap23 said:

C'mon man, who got more calls than Jordan? I'm still ticked off about the Charles Smith play from '93.

uPtoWnNY said:

? Smith got his shot blocked 4 times in a row. There was no call 2 make.

Graycap23 said:

Oh yes there was. If the roles were reversed, there would have been a call. You breath on Jordan, he got the whistle, like LeBron now.

I don't know if I agree with that. Jordan was get the beat down from the Knicks and the Pistons. Back then , there was a great deal more contact than there is now. It's not even close.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah, Jordan would get "beat" down by the Knicks, but Charles Smith did get fouled.

JellyBean said:

Charles Smith was stupid though, he should of tried to dunk the ball on that play instead of those pussy-fied layup attempts, I remember LMAO at the two Knick fans I was watching the game with back in 93.

Abdul said:

Oh, I agree with that. He, Riley and Starks are on my permanent shit list.

JellyBean said:

Hummm.....I remember that play like it was yesterday. Where was the foul?

Graycap23 said:

youtube: Bulls @ Knicks 1993 ECF Game 5: Michael Jordan 29/10/14.

I see a Ho Grant and Jordan with a strip (arm) of Charles. A block on the arm. I agree that he got blocked. But there were two pieces where he got hit...and no call. I understand to, back then, in the last seconds of a game, the refs would let the teams play. But on two of the blocks, Charles was hit. In todays game, that would have been called. Back then..nope. But he did get fouled.

JellyBean said:

...and like I said before, if that was Jordan instead of Smith, he gets the call. Case closed.

Time to get nervous, Laker fans.....

uPtoWnNY said:

Not. U must remember something; Laker fans never get nervous. We aint like other fans out there.

Denver's failure to execute in the 4th quarter is costing them big time this series.

Now, expect it to be quiet from a certain cough*bulls*cough fan .

'bout time Lamar Odom did something. I still can't figure this cat out.

Moonbeam said:

It is freaking Denver for crying out loud. A pressure situation, Denver always chokes.

uPtoWnNY said:

Lakers fans always know and saythat Odom is the X- factor. This cat is soo talented, but he only plays when he feels the need to.

JellyBean said:

Not this year, they haven't. The Lakers have just been better at closing out games in this series.

JellyBean said:

Yep. Odom and Rasheed Wallace are so frustrating to watch. Those cats have hall of fame talent - they could be devastating if they want to. But for whatever reason, they can't put it all together.

uPtoWnNY said:

Dude got all the skills in the world but no motivation.

MuthaFunka said:

lol.....not a chance. The BEST will win this series, either way.

JellyBean said:

I'm looking a the final few minutes of the 3rd quarter when the
nuggets were up by 73-66, all of a sudden it looks like they
started throwing the game. I saw two back to back passes one from
chauncey where they passed it to the opposing team. I'm like wtf.
They weren't steals. The nuggets just passed the ball to the opposing
player for no reason. The lakers d stifled the nuggets in the final quarter
but the end of the third quarter when the lakers trailed by seven and
those unforced nugget turnovers that allowed LA to tie it up just smelled
foul.

Graycap23 said:

Way to go out on a limb and make a prediction, dawg!

MuthaFunka said:

Prediction: Magic wins the title.

Graycap23 said:

In 2010, right? Lakers this year, baby.

MuthaFunka said:

Yep, he's another Derrick Coleman. That dude had more skills than Karl Malone, but he didn't have the Mailman's heart.

uPtoWnNY said:

Yep.

JellyBean said:

I'd love 2 see Phil get 10.....

Graycap23 said:

Who do they play though?
