I think everyone is just amazed that they finally called it.


he wasn't doing that all night. out in the wide open, two feet in front of the ref, ball about to be shot? no, he wasn't doing that all night.

You can't blame losing the game on this one foul. There was a lot of fouls that wasn't called on both teams. There was a lot of fouls called that could have gone either way. I personally think Houston got away with more than the Jazz in this game, But that usually happens on the road. If you want to blame the loss on something maybe you could look at missed Free Throws. I think missed free throws is a more valid point then dissecting the game to see who got the most bad calls. If they would have called a few obvious fouls earlier in the game against Houston then it wouldn't have been that close towards the end.

I want to know where the Houston fans are complaing about the no call when Brooks sent Deron into the 3rd row and the refs didn't call it.

That was the worst call/non-call of the night if you ask me.

Houston fans complaining about Utah fans. Utah fans complaining about Houston fans. Just like the two-party system minus all the back room sex.

McGrady blasted official Tony Brothers for the call and accused Kirilenko of exaggerating the contact.

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.


AK is like the Allen Iverson of the forwards... I am not kidding, it is very easy to foul him, and he plays physical, so I just don't see it too much as flopping.

So what does that mean? That we should all really sit down and take another good look at that play... then decide that it was a really bad call.... just because the usually-quiet Tmac said it was a bad call? :roll:

That's bull. It was a blatant and obvious foul and a stupid move on Scola's part. Whatever though, Tmac can try to defer the blame to the refs, just like he deferred all the shots to his teammates in the fourth quarter. Works for me.

I'm curious. What other bad calls has McGrady been silent about at the end of a game?

Check that, the end of a playoff game?

rockets fans need to accept their loss and move on

they also need to accept that if the rockets lose this series, mcgrady needs to be traded this off season.

This sums it up. AK sold the call, but it was clealry a foul.

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.


Oh, cry me a damn river. How can a fan of a team that starts Shane Battier utter that nonsense?

The miraculous assist from out of bounds. Such painful memories.

Oh well, next year. At least we're not the Cubs (or the Jazz, for that matter) -- we do have banners hanging from our rafters to look up to.

At the end of the day it was a legit call. He was fouled even if he did flop a bit. It was still a foul. So really there's no argument.
