Big 3 by Posey.

Wow, how did Posey make that? That looked ugly.

Just bench Ray. He takes these shots with the clock winding down and missing 'em, I keep my mouth shut, but he's firing these up pretty early in the possession. That's just not being aware of what's going on.

Game slipping away.

Are you kidding me? He just took a swipe at Rondo's head right in front of the ref.

WTF refs, Howard takes a swing at Rondo and no call.

I rarely bring the refs into these things, but, the officiating down the stretch has been shoddy and leaning somewhat in Orlando's favor in terms of swallowing the whistle.

These refs are unbelievable. The inability to see a play that's right in front of them is appalling.

It's because he didn't touch him. Likewise, you can grab your gun and start shooting at people, and nothing will happen to you if you miss.

Had Rondo not moved his head, we would have a decapitated PG right now.

Well done, NBA!

Did you guys not see Rondo grabbing Dwight's arm first? Is that not a foul?

this is an impressive showing by these refs

No decapitation no foul, I guess.

....Plus the Evans elbow to TA earlier and the Powe hack attack non-calls, stand out most prominantly to me.

Yes, he did it in a way that he was about to make the arm fall off. He deserved the swipe.

You do realize you can call more than one foul and you can call technical fouls, do you not?

When a guy is intentionally throwing elbows at a guys head, which was clearly the case, that's a technical foul.

I believe they did call that one. And nobody is disputing. Sorry, I knew you had your gun loaded, but, you missed your mark there.
