Tough Break There 96 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 quote: Stan said he tried to get one of the refs, and also STeve Kyler from hoopsworld requested an explanation from the refs and they would not comment. Those bozos look shady. The NBA doesn't take seriously the idea that refs can undermine the legitimacy of the league. The cheating scandel over the summer was just brushed under the table.

Someone at Magic organization needs to make some noise about this absolute terrible call. What's done is done for tonight, but at least put pressure for upcoming games, so we don't have to play 5 on 8 on the court next time!!! The refs weren't terrible throughout but the last one WITH the review over and over!!! unbelievable! WE freakin lost to a team without its super star! Stop making excuses! WE lost and that is it! Quit blaming the zebras! We've should've of won this game PERIOD! We had plenty of chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orlando Mellow 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 quote: Originally posted by knightmite:It is obvious the Magic don't get the calls they should be getting when they are the home team. Not only do the Magic have to beat the other team...they also have to beat the officials. actually from the front far away look you cant really see the tip of the fingers so they might have still be touching the ball It's definitely fine to blame the refs on this one but the truth is Magic played awful tonite. Offense looked bad, no T-Mac and still Rockets were scoring points, getting out rebounded again doesn't help Magic went up in the early 3rd still couldn't get any type of run, Lewis except for the last 3 ball had a again a poor shooting night as well as Hedo, Jameer brought us back in the game but his play while still committing the stupid late turnover as well There's no disputing we suck at home now.

TheDarkSide 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 Yes some times Refs make some horrible calls, or some times they may favor a certain team. Anyone who has ever played in any kind of league knows you beat the Refs by putting the ball in the basket. Their is nothing the refs can do if you shoot the ball well all game, and take the right shots. So maybe the last call was bs, it was to close to tell. It should have never came down to that last shot anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 We played awful. We didn't deserve to win. BUT, the game was on the line with that call, and the refs blew it. Therefore, it should have went into overtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BdonovanMagic 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 That call would not have been fair to the other team. No game has ever ended in this fashion. It was a neutral call and they made the best call possible. Dude just give up man. The magic played horrible in both games. Looking to blame somebody other than the magic? 1. Horrible lineup to start the game. 2. Magic playing horrible defense. 3. Magic letting 2 nobody's in the rockets lineup to score down below very easy points. All game long without an answer to it. 4. Magics decision to let Rashard take it to the rim instead of shooting it. Get over it dude, this team is playing horrible against weak teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
