Wow... Terrible non-call. That is about as blatant as they come.

Lowry drives into Brown, no foul called, probably should have been but hey Lakers had some no-calls against them early. Lakers win 100-99.

wow we catch a break. The refs suck but wow who cares about this game we won't get passed the first round again this season with kwame as starter again.

before any grizz fan says it, yes that was blantantl a foul on kwame.
I'm not complaining, but it was a blatant foul.

WOW....

how did they give kwame brown those free throws on an uncontested missed dunk, and then let kwame maul lowrey with no call.

that's ridiculous.

Payback for the blantant carry that wasn't called on Miller. They got a 3 they never should've had. It worked out in the end.

Please tell me this really was as hilarious as I am picturing it.

Edit: Now it says there's a foul.

And it was. He got a whole 3 inches off the ground on a sissy foul, missed it.. :nonono:

Very odd that there was no foul call... The Nets have had their fair share of moments when they've been screwed by refs "not wanting to decide the game" so oh well.

In some ways I like the no call too, when a defender jumps straight up and an offensive player charges into them I don't think that should be a foul, but generally speaking the refs do call it a foul so they SHOULD have called a foul on that attempt by Lowry.

Kwame did get smacked on the head going up for the dunk. A real player would have thrown it down and converted the 3-point play.

If Bynum is out any extended time, the Lakers might not make the playoffs. If it is an ACL tear, Kobe needs to demand a trade.

HarlemHeat37 · Post #152 » by **HarlemHeat37** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:03 am

one of the worst calls in NBA history..not only did Kwame jump into him, his arm also hit Lowry on the elbow too..wow..I'm getting memories of the Lakers during their 3-peat years with the refs..specifically the Minnesota series, where Wally didn't even touch Kobe and they gave him it to send it into OT..

I'm absolutely shocked..that wasn't even a questionable call, it was a clear foul..

Black Jesus 1 · Post #153 » by **Black Jesus 1** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:03 am

Yea, terrible call..way to swallow the whistle..

what? a carrying violation, which goes unnoticed a 100 times a game, compared to a CLEAR foul at the end of the game, where Kwame put contact on him AND hit him on the arm? you Laker fans are funny sometimes..

NetsForce..I agree with how refs should call those types of plays, but Kwame also hit him on the elbow..

Kobay · Post #155 » by **Kobay** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:07 am

Kwame did jump straight up but he did hit him either way only wade gets those calls so who cares. Lakers need every win now that Bynum is down.

yup, I'll take it. We need every freaking win now. Damn :-?

I'd trade this win any day for Andrew to even be out only a month.

Ballings7 · Post #158 » by **Ballings7** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:09 am

Lakers were lucky to get that win... refs totally screwed up there, and there should of definitely been a foul on Kwame, for Lowry. Even the Lakers announcers were pointing it out.

I don't go on about the refs much, but that right there was just terrible.

Really good effort by Memphis. They played well.

Javaris Crittenton made three straight nice plays from the end of the third to early 4th. Especially liked that hand-off back-hand pass to Farmar for the open three to close out the 3rd qtr. Continue to love Cirttenton.

Oh, and Monta Ellis is just absolutely ridiculous

eagles nut · Post #159 » by **eagles nut** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:09 am

No, the no-call on Miller was worse. Miller spins and carries and kicks out for a 3. Blatant carry. Then the refs make it worse by calling a technical on Kobe when they're the ones who screwed up. 4 point gift for the Grizzlies. So, Grizzlies fans want to complain about being denied two points? I don't think so.

wow, refs sucked for everyone today.
