Poll: How many Phantom Fouls calls will Pierce get tonight?

You know we'll be seeing crocodile tears from Pierce all night. He'll limp like his knee is hurt to begin the game. He'll limp like his back is hurt after Smoove breathes on him under the basket. He'll limp around holding his head at the end of the 1st Quarter.


PP reminds me of Fred Sanford ..... "Elizabeth - I'm coming to join ya honey!"

not a hawks fan, but I had to tell you that the refs are completely screwing you guys over.

The NBA is a hoax. This is completely off topic but wtf is up with josh's damn touch fouls. If your going to foul make it worth something...

I thought the reffing was brutal in Boston, but tonight was about the usual for the Hawks.

I thought there was a stretch where the refs made some terrible calls. They didn't call a terrible game but there were 2 calls that were complete screw ups. KG had 1 play where he traveled and double dribbled on the same play and they didn't call anything. This was one of the worst no-calls I've ever seen.There was also a play where Boston tried to save the ball underneath our basket and didn't throw it. They didn't call a foul and Boston didn't call a timeout. I don't remember if Boston scored after this but it was a bad call. There were also some calls I disagreed with but these things happen every game and I probably just noticed them because I'm biased.

1.Perkins 3 point play in the 4th looked like a 3 seconds violation(meaning he was probably in the paint for close to 5 seconds).

2. Pierce got a continuation on a play where he dribbled after the whistle...but they didn't give Joe this call about 2 possessions later on what looked like the same exact play

3. The timeout they gave Pierce when he slipped was traveling but the league never actually calls fouls or traveling once a player is on the floor for some reason(always a jump ball or timeout).

I was at the game and the ref and the calls were totally in Boston's favor! One of the worst officiating games i've ever seen. i'm sure you all saw the foul on the Hawks when Cry Baby Pierce slips and falls. What a joke!

Actually that was a timeout not a foul.

It's rare for referees to call the three second rule in the NBA, so it didn't seem like a big deal to me. But the one call that really pissed me off was the last play of ours when Joe Johnson kept shooting it. He was simply fouled by Perkins... it looked like a block, but it looked to me that he was fouled on the hand as he was releasing the ball. But it's hard to blame the referees. Although the refs were a big reason to why we lost this game, they did give us some questionable calls us well. It seems as if every time we lose against the Celtics, we immediately go and blame the referees.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
