Yeah the state of reffing in the NBA is terrible. What it comes down to for me though is that if I could force myself to stop watching the NBA I would have done so a long time ago.

no the game wasn't rigged. The call at the end was bogus, but its not like the rox didn't get their fair share of bogus calls. Just look at the offensive foul on Yao.

Note to everyone complaining in this thread about the Magic game: I have already sent an e-mail to the league office about this, and I suggest that you all do the same. If they get enough angry fans, they're bound to want to cover their asses, and to do that, they'll have to fix the ref situation.

Are the Manuless Spurs THIS bad of a team? The Kings are a much better team from what I have saw this year then the Manu less Spurs.

Every team should be blowing the Knicks out, seriously.

The Spurs are no a bad team without Ginobli, they just tend to struggle in strecthes. i watched a lot of Spurs games this year and 1 of their problems was scoring droughts but they always cleaned it up with their D. But I still would take a Manuless team over the Kings any night.

Heres the frame by frame shot of the last basket in the Magic Rockets game i found.
Personally I can't tell if Foyle got the shot off or not due to the bad quality.

Bruce Bowen is very clutch. He's always gotten credit for the D, but Bowen's made 3s, freethrows, passes, layups, that were huge for his team.

Kings are pretty damn good, and the Kings were without Bibby, SAR, Artest and K-Martin and blew us out in our own place.

The title contending favs are struggling to put the Knicks away when they dont have their top guy in Randolph? :lol:

Spurs win though I think Crawford got fouled on that 2nd to last possession.

Andrea Bargnani is a joke. A seven-footer playing 40 minutes and only pulling in 2 rebounds, forget about the fact that he registered 0 assists, 0 blocks, and 0 steals, 2 rebounds?!

Until further notice Andrea Bargnani is the next Eddy Curry (Euro-Version).

To put things in perspective in 21 minutes Jason Collins pulled in 3 rebounds tonight, Jason frigging Collins.

You do realize that they are coming off a 2nd game of a back to back, which was a close game. Then they had to travel from Denver back to SA to play this game.
