    KT gets not respect from the Refs.

    He gets some ticky tack bullsh*t calls
    against him
    He'd be so much better if they allow the bro
    to play defense [WHICH HE PLAYS WITH HIS FEET]
    and not call bullsh*t blocking fouls
    then gets MAULED and not get a call

    I agree...KT seems to get a bunch of fouls called on him that other players do not. Most refs try to call a game down the middle...but there is absolutly a tendency to give the benefit of the doubt to the "star" players.

    I think that "star" players don't need the calls...they are the best, so why do they need help? In my opinion, if a ref is going to give calls to a player, they should reward the player that hustles the most and plays solid. KT does this more than most players in the league...

    C'mon refs!!! Give the call to the under-dog player that hustles...not the pampered super stars [​IMG]

    This has been happening since the begining of last season.All year long KT kept his mouth closed and I thought because of this the refs would eventually give him a break but it never happened.I think KT handled himself very well last season,I think most players in his posistion would have gave Rasheed a run for league leader with Techs,but thats just his personality.

    Maybe he should speak up and get into the refs face sometimes,that might do it.

    I've seen KT slap the ball from a bigger guy and got a foul called! I'm sure a lot of you see that he got nothing but ball.KT's hand was just quick! Plain and simple!

    KT *does* get more questionable foul calls than anyone I've ever seen...

    however, I disagree about the "star" players. I think they need to get the calls, so as to discourage overly physical play. There are enough injuries in the NBA already... we don't need more, especially to star players. I want people to stay the hell AWAY from Stevie when he's in the lane.

    QUESTION: We all agree that Thomas gets *bad* calls... but why is this? Certainly, there are worse players, and worse rookies... why Thomas?

    Can you explain to me what your signature means? I don't think KT has been in the Western Conference Finals. Maybe it's something obvious, but I don't get it.

    I'm guessing you mean that KT gets called for fouls in games he doesn't even play in (as an indication of how bad it is)

    What Kills me is he gets a Rep as a Weak Defender.
    I think the Refs take him out of some games.

    Hard to play through something like that
    He'd end up with Cato like fouls

    It's not just fouls though.
    I've seem some Travelling calls
    and some other calls that may not restrict
    his minutes but stalls our offense.

    Thank God someone else realizes this (notice the signature). Last year was horrible, but since he was a rookie, it was understandable that he would be on the recieving end of some of the calls. I sure hope it doesn't continue this year.

    Kenny Thomas had a foul called on him in the Western Conference Finals.
