You Guys are Getting Playing against More than the Bulls

23.4 - price kicks his leg out on a three and gets the call on rose. three free throws, makes them all and makes it a 2 point game.

Not only did Price kick out, but he also grabbed Derrick's arm on the play as well. You can see him grab Derrick's arm at :45. Should've been an offensive foul simply because of the kick out.

Okay, and what about the previous five or six times that Rose hit Price while shooting? Can you go back and post those for our viewing pleasure as well?

In particular, one play in the 2nd quarter which would have been Rose's 3rd foul and completely changed the face of the game. Instead, the foul was credited to Brewer, who wasn't near the play.

Thanks in advance.

What this guy said.

I know we're not supposed to call people names.

Yeah, but that's what you're doing, isn't it? I'm not going to warn you, but name-calling is name-calling.

That being said, still looks like a foul to me.

I agree, it does look like a foul and that's why it was called as one. In this particular case Price tricked the refs, it was a nice crafty move on his part. It all happened so fast, that you can't see what really happened until you watch it slow motion.

Every game you will see plays like this happening on both sides of the floor. Stuff like this used to bother me, but it doesn't anymore. I now see it as part of the game, it's a part I don't like, but it's little plays like this that help a team win.

The refs are only human, they try to do there best. If I didn't have the chance to watch this play in slow motion, I would have also called Rose for a foul.

It looks like Price was either trying ro shield himself from contact or was just being too clever. Possibily a mixture of both. Without slowing it down, definately looks like a foul and even with the foul called, the chance of the Pacers actually sending the game to OT or winning were extremely slim.

Warn me if you want to. You edited my post and not the troll from Chicago's. That's just not right. And I call them like I see them.

I thought Gremz edited the other post but it was the one above it instead. That's a bad catch from us.

Also, it doesn't matter how stupid someone's opinion is, you still have to be respectful. They aren't being unreasonable.

This is what happens when team has a superstar who inishes near the basket by driving in.

Gotta say, I used to hate all the calls that DWade used to get.....but having Rose on my team changes my perception.

I woul much rather have a superstar who can draw foul on my team than on the opposing team.

If you guys think you have gotten the short end of the officiating stick, you're simply delusional. Game 1 and 2 were called solidly in the Pacers favor, and game 3 wasn't even close.

In game 3, all three charges in the first half were called incorrectly, and all three went the Pacers way. The first Derrick Rose charge should have been a blocking foul and and 1 opportunity. Watch the tape, the defender slid late and was still sliding when Rose ran into him- not even close to a charge. The McRoberts and1 should have been a charge. Asik jumped BACKWARDS and McRoberts shoved him off with his left forearm, yet they called the foul on Asik. The second Derrick Rose charge wasn't even close. Dunleavy got there late, never set his feet, continued to slide, and then fell backwards before Derrick Rose even made contact with him yet still got the call. Both Foster hard fouls should have been flagrants and were not called as such, which the league stepped in to correct the next day. Dahntay Jones took a close-fisted haymaker swing at CJ Watson chasing him up court and the refs were reluctant to even call that a foul. Should have been a technical at least if not a flagrant foul. The Hibbert offensive foul was not only the correct call, but Hibbert dragged his pivot foot about 3 feet across the floor before even attempting the shot, so either way Bulls ball was the right call in that case. The AJ Price three free throw foul? Please. Bush league flopping.

Those are just a few specific calls, but that doesn't even take into account the disparity with what the Pacers are being allowed to do on defense compared to what the Bulls are being allowed to do. If a Pacer drives and gets contact the trend has been to automatically call a foul on the Bulls. At the other end, the Pacers are bodying and making the same amount of contact, yet being whistled far less often. The McRoberts "jump ball" was a joke. He wrapped DRose up and tried to put him on the floor and never even touched the ball. Also, EVERY screen that Roy Hibbert sets is a moving screen. Every single one. He's been called for a moving screen once the whole series. The Pacers have a tough squad, but the refs have helped them out in a big way- it's the refs keeping them in these games more than it is the players on the court. Please just don't embarrass yourselves by saying the Bulls are getting unfair calls, because it's been significantly the opposite of that.

Cool, thanks for that. This thread was already unconstructive to begin with, but then you carry on with that "embarass yourselves" comment which was unnecessary.
