The guy can hit a shot w/ .4 seconds left. The guy left a great gig in Utah, for his daughter’s illness. You feel for him, he’s one of the great clutch point guards that’ll probably help the Lake Snore, I mean show, get another ring. Yet I don’t care if you are Kobe, Lebron or even the over-passionate, yet always entertaining KG, you call the call the refs missed tonight! That’s the series. Spurs down 3-1 and have to play 2 of those on the road if they want to get back to the finals.

 

I told myself after the Nash incident last year and the mafia pocketed ref i wouldn’t blame losses on refs but how can I not? This was such an obvious call, that leaves me scratching my head pondering maybe I should give up my love for the NBA and switch to NCAA, where everything is more consistent. You have 2 seconds and change on the clock, Brent Barry shots a game tying shot, only to have an elbow to the head, with totally obvious contact and yet no whistle. The dude is a 36-year old veteran and he didn’t get the call. Lets reverse this. If it was Kobe shooting that shot, would there be a foul called? If Ginobli shot it, and acted with his European flopping skills, would there be a call? My Magic 8 ball is telling me, all signs point to yes for both scenarios. This is ridiculous. I hate blaming the refs but how can we ‘love this game,’ when the NBA would rather show us ‘NBA CARES’ videos than correct the ref problems that are inherent in every single playoff game so far in the post season?

Normally, you are suppose to root for the team that knocks your team out of the playoffs, yet after the cheap Steve Nash shot last year and the current move he did to David West’s back in tonight’s game, I just can’t do it.

Check out that link at about the 20 second remaining mark. All the players on the court know that David West has a hurt back in this game, just like Kobe has a hurt pinky/back right now. Yet, Robert Horry is the only one that blatantly pushes his elbows into it on a blind-sided pick. Such a cheap shot for a player that really is one of the most clutch to ever play the game and will more than likely end up in the hall of fame.

Luckily, the Hornets fans have 3 days rest for West’s back, but why is this legal? If this is legal in the sport and you don’t get a foul called, why hasn’t anyone on the Jazz taken out Kobe’s back or better yet jam his pinky worse than it already is?
