    you got about 45 hours of editing time and the patience? There are so many it's completely laughable. I wish I was 18, trust fund baby, and had all the time in the world to put a compilation together.

    By my count there were 6 bad calls/non calls just in the williams out of bounds and the overtime of game 4 alone.

    I guess it was for an apparent elbow to the head but clearly that was just his arm coming down and it completely missed his head.

    I really do think the calls in that game in particular were atrociously bad concerning Howard.

    Yep. Looked like McHale was saying something along the lines of "You just wait 'til the end of the game when this thing is tied, and you remember this T." 1 little point made all the difference.

    Whistle was blown so quick too. I wish someone could slow it down w/ the audio so we can hear if the whistle was being blown before his arm was even lowered.

    The out of bounds call in OT was huge. A 5-point swing.

    Freeland didn't even budge. It was freaking ridiculous.

    I don't think Scooby Doo & the gang can solve the mystery of the missing technical foul! It's magic! (Insert magic gif)

    For a long time my sig simply read, "Ken Mauer sucks"

    I deleted it because I forgot why that was my sig, but now I remember: it's because he sucks.

    And to add salt to the wound, this wasn't just a 1 point sway, it was 1-3 points.

    I knew D12 would miss at least one of his FTs (if not both) after the T. With FTs being such a mental barrier for D12, a complete BS technical was bound to get into his head during the FTs.

    I feel the general reffing for the series has been equally bad for both teams, but Houston has gotten the short end (by a big margin) on the technical foul and flagrant foul calls.

    it looks like he didn't bounce the ball directly to the ref. but the ref didn't make an attempt to go for the ball

    The only thing I can think of is maybe he said a magical word that starts with an F... other than that I'm confused

    The league has a problem if their officials are the focus of a game that much.
    The NBA should realy consider to equip officials with mics like in the NFL that they can anounce the reason why a player got a technical foul because nobody knew yesterday why Dwight got one.

    You now realize that if this had not been called, and Lin's turnover still happened, we would have won the game and be tied 2-2.

    That is all.

    NBA is rigged. Period. Refs do enough to influence or disrupt a flow.

    There are questionable calls and then there are the QUESTIONABLE calls. This one falls to the latter. No worries. I believe in the game 7 victory!

    Refs seem to dislike Dwight and are cowering over him every play just waiting to blow the whistle against him. Can't figure that out yet. Is it because the smiley reaction he gives them after every foul called against him? He's so strong it seems like he's bullying players in the paint? The media? Wakling from LAL? Wtf is up?
