Why didn't Rudy raise hell, after Steve's 2nd Techincal?

    I am usually not a proponent of a coach or player going berserk and berating officials, Steve getting kicked out for dunking the ball, definitely warranted it. I have surely seen Rudy get pissed an T’ed up arguing calls that were nowhere near as blatantly awful as that one. The team needed a spark right then and there, when Steve got the thumb, you could see and feel the whole team let up. I wish Rudy would have kicked and screamed and got the team pissed.

    Whether it would have done any good or not, who knows, I know it would have made me feel better though [​IMG]

    Some other poster made a comment that Rudy should have put in his bench players immediately to show up the referees. I'm sure Mobley and the other starters would agree to that.

    Just like Kennedy thought Francis was silently showing up the Kings, Rudy could have silently showed up the referees. No fines. No T's. It would be like a scrimmage.

    Are you kidding me? geez.. come on guys.. your team is not playing high school ball here.. they are pros! they should of still went out with the mentality that they were going to win anyways, without that, you will not even make it to the playoffs, let alone the big dance.

    You can tell a call is horrible when even the other team questions it.

    "He didn't do anything that would cause him to get tossed out of the game," Divac said. "He just dunked the ball and showed some emotion. They should allow us to do that."
