NBA has became more r****d nowadays, I have watched replay a couple of times to check why Stephen Jackson got tossed. He did nothing except clapping his hand. He was not even talking to anybody. WTF!!!
I'm really interested what would happen in game 6. Since this is the 2nd ejection (4 tech?), I think he might get a suspension. I have the feeling the ref gonna get the "bull****" chant again.
Well he was looking right at the official and clapping all the way down the court. Then when he gets there, he turns and looks down the court and keeps clapping. It was pretty obvious that what he was doing and why. Now, I'll agree..him getting thrown out was pretty dumb, but since the NBA is now giving the Duncan T...he should have known better.
I watched the game and thought he didn't do enough to get ejected. The Baron Davis foul out was ridiculous. He quickly ran over to Harris? in the backcourt and to the ref it must have looked like he was trying to foul to stop the clock and the ref made the touch call, but Davis WAS NOT trying to foul. The call was terrible. J Rich got fouled by Dirk on that corner three and no call and then Harris gets the 5th foul on Davis on the drive. In the playoffs that should be a no call late in a game. No advantage, not much contact and the shot went in. Then right after that was the 6th foul on Davis. By that time I was sick of the ref love for Dallas and thought, Man I hope the Rockets don't get that jackass Mauer to call a critical game. He's awful. And then, he throws out Jackson.
Once again...please take the mavs hater glasses off - You honestly felt that Terry threw him down? Be honest...really...try it. If that wasn't a flop by Baron, I don't know what is.
I guess you are better off to yell and curse at the official than clap because players yell and curse all the time to the refs without getting thrown out.
apparently you didnt watch jason terry's hand motions...watch it again. The only act baron put on was when he was lying on the floor covering his face acting like he got hit in the face.
Honest and really try? Wow, you try it, really hard. Did BD put Terry's hands around his own waist? Did BD beg Terry to throw him? Yes, there was acting, BD didn't get hurt. What did the rule say? If you punch people, they don't get a concussion, you will be fine? Or if you throw people, with intention and action, but others don't break necks, you will get a free pass? Or simply you can't attack anyone, punching or throwing people?
It's insane isn't it? I have become so befuddled by what constitutes a technical and ejections nowadays that I don't even know where to stand on this. One part of me says, well you've seen multiple players get thrown out for the same thing why are doing it Stephen Jackson? Then the other part says, he's getting tossed AGAIN for CLAPPING?!?!?!?! Players and coaches can yell, curse, pout to officials all game and rarely receive a tech...but you clap towards the crowd or an official and you get tossed? The league needs to sit down this offseason....no better yet....TODAY and go over what constitutes for technicals/ejections in this league. No one should get thrown out of a playoff game for clapping. It makes no sense whatsoever.
no but didn't josh howard throw yao down 2 years ago?... and we don't have mav hater glasses; we have NBA-legitimate call glasses on. biach
In contrast to our Game 5 with Yao getting hacked for 6 secs and no call. I want GS to win because I'd hate to see what the refs would do in a Rox/Mavs series.
You know this is a Rockets board don't you?? you cannot honestly defend the officiating objectively Can you ???????
Baron Davis was PUSHED downward after losing his balance going after the ball. Had he NOT been pushed, he would have fallen a bit slower and not landed flat. Terry made a flagrant play and got away with just a technical. Had Terry brought his knee up under Davis, it would have been a solid WWE move.
Agreed...Total BS all the way around...GS would have won without that BS... numnuts23, your handle says it all...
