"The" Call: refs cheat the Rox?
1) scola definitely reached out to stop AK from getting to TMac in the corner...is this legal in the NBA?
2) if AK didn't sell the call with the acting, would the refs have called it?
let me know what you think

AK didn't do much acting cause he is a friggin toothpick and got a forearm from a power forward to keep him from getting the ball.
Gigantic flop. Don't pretend.
But why do you think AK knew to flop? Because Scola had been fouling the ENTIRE game in this exact way- pushing, holding, reaching over the top. AK was ready for it, and he was rewarded, because the ref knew Scola was doing it too.
It was completely the right call.

That shouldn't be a reason why the league should make those bad calls. Two wrongs don't make a right.
It doesn't make it right, but it does make it less egregious when the refs make that call all the time. The Rockets weren't screwed, its a typical NBA call.

It's cheating. A disguised motive... It's the act of to gain an unfair advantage over the other team. It's against the code of sports ethics.
Egregious? This is not surprising coming from a Jazz fan, a franchise that has been loaded with cheaters.

Bobby Jackson tried to flop on Williams but didn't get the call, maybe he needs to call AK47 in the offseason to give him some lessons.

I don't care about the Jazz, I'm a Nets fan...
I hate flopping as much as anyone, but if you are going to complain and start a thread about the refs cheating you out of a victory it has to be a really bad call and that foul wasn't bad enough to warrant all this whining.
In todays NBA you can find a call just as bad in the 4th quarter of every game.
