Alan: Mitch tweeted — and then deleted, presumably at the request of either the team or an agent who doesn’t want him getting fined — that he got all ball, and then was pushed in the back by one of the Nets, causing him to bump into the arm.

That’s what I saw too. For the refs to make an iffy call like that with 3 seconds remaining in the game was wrong.

Hi Phatt, Thanks for the bucket hat link! As to Mitch’s fouls, Thib’s point about the ref’s inconsistency in foul calls seems valid based on eye test ( caveat: sub-optimal old-man eyes). The Kemba benching seems promising as does Randle driving and cutting more. Looking forward to the Bulls game.

Missed almost the entire game yesterday because of work so can’t say much about that but I did watch the Suns-Warriors game which was great. The Suns and Chris Paul are incredible. They just went undefeated in November and this is the 3rd time a Chris Paul team has won 17 games in a row.

Let’s not forget Nate McMillan preemptive whining last year before the start of the Atlanta series.
He basically won the series with that act because we weren’t allowed to defend on Young all along.

Let’s hope this legitimate protests from Thibs and Jules have the same effect…

So the refs are rewarding acting, in other words?

the quote has been cleared up a bit. the refs didn’t say they were denying him a call bc he’s too strong. they admitted they missed the call bc they didn’t notice any affect. in other words, the refs are calling fouls more based on the offensive player’s reaction than the defensive player’s action. makes more sense then.

Shaq would complain about the same thing
