I saw the replay several times. IMO, McGrady should have been on the FT line. http://www.floridatoday.com/news/sports/stories/2000/nov/spo113000j.htm If McGrady doesn't get any respect (at home no less), you can bet the ranch Steve, Cat, Walt, Mo, & KT won't get any! ------------------ GATER [This message has been edited by GATER (edited November 30, 2000).]
No disrespect, GATER, but I highly doubt that the Jazz would get preferential treatment from referees. ******* it I hate the Jazz..... ------------------ Jazzkiller
Although I hate the Jazz as well, I wish the Rockets would watch tapes of how they execute their offense. Every pass has a meaning and they rarely throw up a forced shot. They run their plays better than anyone else in the NBA. Francis and Mobley could learn a thing or 2 about it. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1.

BobFinn* - I definitely respect and appreciate the halfcourt finesse which the Jazz display. And YES, the Rockets should absolutely be required to watch tapes of Utah running the screens to perfection. My problem (real or imagined) with their game is the flops and the hacking (lest we forget the Nowitski blow by Malone). It is an absolute total turnoff that is embedded deeper in my mind than ANY of their fine positive attributes. ------------------ GATER [This message has been edited by GATER (edited November 30, 2000).]
Have to agree with you there Gater. The flops and all the other crap they get away with sicken me as well. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
McGrady was indeed fouled. But I am getting used to the craziness and inconsistent officiating this year. I have to get used to it early, to save myself grief later. In the Lakers - Pacers game the other night, I saw O'Neal block Junior O'Neal of the Pacers, but he got almost no ball, all arm and damn near knocked Jermain down....no call. It was registered a blocked shot. UGH! I am starting to sound like COACH SAMPSON...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
It was funny at the end of last season when we played the Jazzholes and Steve flopped when Stocktonn brushed him. I think it was the same game that the Wiz laid out the Pasty Gangsta. ------------------ Don't come in Bullard's house!
