    That was BY far the best refereed game of the series.

    Battier flopped, no call

    Deron flopped, no call

    No more flops....

    They stopped the perimeter hands crap and let them play on the low block.

    GREAT game by the officials.

    Are you kidding me? There were at least a dozen phantom calls and calls by officials who were well out of position making things up as they went along.

    They called a great game tonight...they stopped the perimeter clutching and allowed some contact on the blocks....

    And they stopped the jumping into people crap.

    Best game of the series...by a mile.

    Yea there were some questionable calls... One of them was the kirilenko flop that Mcgrady got called for an offensive foul on.

    This game was better but they gotta start calling Kirilenko when he's hooking people.

    Obviously you didn't watch the right game. Yes- better than the others, but great? You have got to be kidding me.

    I like how when he called the tech which stopped our fastbreak..(i dont like how it stopped it) what i like is that he apologized to adlemen that he called it during their fast break

    we need some more refs like that...not the ones that is so scared to admit they are wrong

    They missed some calls sure, but the way they controlled the game and let the teams play...wonderful.

    I have to agree. We finally were getting our calls and Refs didn't call any flops. Scola of course flopps on every play but you gotta live with it.

    And yet Ak found the way to flop and get the call.

    Man this guy is such a great cheater. if I was a Refs and will not call anything even if AK get foul. This guys is an actor.

    Ak is challenging Manu for the best flopper of the year.

    The clear path foul called on Battier was pretty awful.

    McGrady could have got some calls at the basket.

    They missed at least half a dozen calls, but they were definitely the best set of refs we've had all series.

    There were some dumb calls and a few blown ones, but overall this was a well officiated game.

    And go figure, when the refs blow the whistle, the Jazz gets their asses kicked. This is why they were 17-24 on the road this season.
