    I'm about to shoot off a letter to John McCain. Let's see what Stern does if McCain tears him a new one.

    You're overreacting, things are not that bad.

    There were some bad calls, but they lost mainly because their free throw shooting sucked and they screwed up defensive rotations in the 4th.

    Like I said in another thread,

    The nuclear option is to feed the Chinese Press and put pressure on Stern.

    The Chinese press can also comment on Mark Cuban's role in this fiasco.

    Only overseas pressure and the monetary ramifications can help us.

    I would boycott..but how?
    Boycott would be like not one person showing up to Rockets game..which won't happen.

    And it would be cool if Chinese media started attacking Stern and officials..

    And yeah if we get some media here ..that would be great..I see some already from those stupid ESPN tv shows :)

    And yeah continue sending letters to NBA..but maybe they will probably block e-mails and not even bother reading them. haha that's why we need mass 100k+

    And...hold signs and denounce corrupted people when they come :p

    I guess the $ amount of the fine goes up in proportion to the truthfulness of the comment made about NBA officiating.

    My U.S. Representative and Senator John McCain is involved. Man I hope some politician makes some comment.

    I agree too that the Chinese Government has the power to change this entire series. One press release that says the People's Republic of China is concerned about corruption in the NBA and we get about 50 more free throws than the mavs next game. The NBA needs China a lot more than China needs it.

    Its not going to take an empty TC a third full TC will get the message across.

    I think to many of y'all are demanding that the Chinese or your Congressman do something but really all of us have consumers already have the power to enact change.
