The refs in this NJ/NY game are ****ing deciding the game. Martin mugs Penny...no call. Thomas doesn't even touch Martin, three-point play. Kidd goes in for layup, no call until after NY gets the rebound. Marbury goes in for layup...contact, but no call. Artest comes off the bench, he's suspended. Jefferson comes off the bench, he's not. Nets are the Lakers of the East.
I just hate phony Martin. These are BS calls, and NBA are supposed to bias New York!!! Who want to see those NJ nets!!! They even can't sell out on their home court!!!
I got a conspiracy theory about this: Maybe the Refs are just trying to help lay the foundation for an ultra-intense rivalry between the BROOKLYN Nets and the NY Knicks for the future.
Well if there were trying to do that, then they've succeeded. I like Stephen A. Smith's idea of the Nets naming themselves the New York Nets just like back in the ABA days. Then they can "fight for the heart of New Yorkers", which is how Smith put it. If NJ sweeps then it will be ugly the next time they meet.
and how about this: tim thomas gets a warning from the league for threatening martin? how far can they go?
Well, Tim didn't have to go promising, basically, that he would stomp some heads. The way the series is going, he might not get the chance anyway.
