[QUOTE=Geandily]This fact stands:
The defender raised his hands asking the ref to not call the foul, when the shot went in all of a sudden he wanted the foul to be called.
LAME apology by the NBA and I'll stop making posts like this when there's no more threads about it :D[/QUOTE]
Exactly!!!
I hate people blame on refs.....blame on Wright because it was very f*cking weak intentional foul, we couldnt tell that if he tried to foul on that but it didn't look like that.
The bets are down this season and even the NBA is in on it for all I know. I have no problem with the call tonight, but there are a lot of problems with the refs this playoffs. It just wasn't this bad until now. I know there have been series where there was confusion a little bit, but not in this series and that series. There needs to be consistency or the NBA will lose all respect. This isn't the WWE.
[QUOTE=Geandily]Well maybe the relevant player should have been playing defense instead of crying, he could have at least contested the shot.
Like the Mavs had a guaranteed win anyway, who's to say that if the foul was called that Melo wouldn't have heard it and chucked the ball to get 3 freethrows?
There was about a 60% chance that the Nuggets were still going to win this game, I'll admit that it should have been a foul but come on, it's stupid how calls at the end of games get sooooooooo overly criticized. What about the obvious flagrant on Dahntay? That's something that people should be complaining about, not something that would have been an iffy call.[/QUOTE]
The Mavs are not gonna win the series anyway though lol:hammerhead:
[QUOTE=Arti]all the time, if the PI prevents a sure touchdown[/QUOTE]
no you don't...:ohwell:
EVER...I can't recall that ever happening in the NFL...
because the penalty for it is pretty much the equivlent to a TD...they set it up to where you would never want to do it...
the NBA is the ONLY sport where fouls are reffered to as "intentional" on a regualr basis...EVERY GAME pretty much...
The rules need to change to where a player would never want to "intentionaly foul" another player...just like the other sports...
What the hell are people arguing over? There's nothing to debate.
IF IT'S A FOUL, IT SHOULD BE CALLED
I don't even have bias towards either team. You don't even have to watch the game to make that claim. If the ref didn't call the foul because he wanted to give the Mavs a chance, than he is at fault too. It doesn't matter about the outcome.
Also, 2 wrong calls don't make a right. Refs are human, but sometimes you have to wonder how many games,series they've changed because of faulty calls (not that it applies here).
Nuggets would have beaten the Mavs anyway.
I honestly think NBA is hurting right now as a sport, it's getting worst & worst.
This playoff are really boring to me beside Bulls vs Celtics series.
NBA playoffs are playing like a b*tch.

Guess your team is out, Am i right?
Carlisle and the Mavs need to stop b*tchin. They said it was an [b]intentional[/b] foul, because they had one to give. And Wright's bump on Carmelo was maaad SOFT. Stfu, why didn't he wrap his arms around him? The Mavs deserved that *****. Next time if they want a call, foul to make sure of it. GEEZ.

OK...
once the NBA comes forward and admitts to f*ckin up posts like this ONE should stop...
he shouldn't have had to tackle the MFer for it to be obvious to the refs at that point...
the refs f*cked up...and even THEY say they f*cked up...
Why do people keep saying, "oh the mavs are gonna lose the series anyways?" How the hell do you know? Yes, it looks like the nuggets are the better team but the better team doesnt always win as shown in the mavs vs. heat and mavs vs. warriors series.
So I guess the no-call, as incredibly obvious as it was, not be called b/c UCLA was the #1 seed and clearly the better team. Yall are retarded. The NBA admits it f*cked up and you're still trying to defend it. Absolutely pathetic.

You act like that missed call cost the Mavs the game. If it were called, the Nuggets would've still had a few seconds and whose to say Melo wouldn't do it again?
Who cares? Its 3-0, the mavs suck and they would never have won the series anyway. Just forget about this like you forgot about Rajon Rondo flagrant foul on Brad Miller.
[QUOTE=Hawker]Why do people keep saying, "oh the mavs are gonna lose the series anyways?"[/QUOTE]

Wright bumped him with his chest. A lot of those types of fouls are never called. I'm just saying, if they wanted to foul him intentionally, why didn't he wrap him up like everyone else who fouls with one to give. That makes sure refs will stop the play. Bottom line is it wasn't the refs fault.

It is getting annoying as f*ck reading over and over that this doesn't matter because it is just the Mavs...:banghead:

NBA fans in general should be upset by this...
Wow, this was the no call?

The refs are damned if they do, and damned if they dont. Either its the fact that they call ticky tack fouls, soft fouls, etc etc, or its the fact that they SHOULD have called a foul.
Either way, you dont thump someone at the end of the game, Carmelo is too strong to not FOUL HIM HARD. You grab him, or better yet, not let him pass you.
Wright didnt deliver on that, and the refs didnt bail him out either. Both parties dropped the ball on that one.

If you want a foul, don't put up your hands and wait untill you see if he makes it or not to complain about the call. Neither the players or the bench wanted the call until they saw that Melo made it

if you have been watching ESPN it shows that he clearly swiped at Melo's arms and then raised his arms to the refs as to say he fouled...
yeah, when no whistle was blown he watched the ball...big deal...
the damn refs have owned up I don't understand why the damn fans can't own up...(unless you are a Nugs fan of course)
Carmelo Anthony is strong bro...if my assignment is to foul, im holding him.

What are you talking about? He was like "i didn't do nothing" until the ball went in.

And i know it was a foul and it should have been called, but it could have gone both ways
Edit: After watching it with none nuggets fan eyes, I admit that he might have wanted tha call ;) But it is he could have done a better job
[QUOTE=~primetime~]WHEN YOU COMMIT A FOUL ON PURPOSE MOST PLAYERS RAISE THEIR HANDS AS TO SAY "I DID IT!!!"
Why can't people see that???
It is clear as day that he was trying to foul...the damn NBA is even admitting it...
This should be enough for NBA fans to admitt the call was blown...[/QUOTE]
The refs were helping you all night except for one call, quit *****ing
You know what it seems like to me? He depended on the officials FAR MORE than he should have. Like I said, if your assignment is to commit an intential foul to stop the clock for the sake of the game? YOU FOUL him without a shadow of a doubt. It was weak, but it was apparent, and should have been called, but seriously dude....
[QUOTE=zabuza666]The refs were helping you all night except for one call, quit *****ing[/QUOTE]
The refs didnt think melo would hit it and wanted the clock to run out, they helped the mavs the entire game.

they are saying on ESPN that even though it should have been completely obvious to the refs that he should have just told them ahead of time...
I mean you can't really get upset at Wright for not tackling the MFer...
that could result in a technical...
the refs f*cked up...but Wright should have told the refs pre-whistle just in case what happened doesn't happen...
now that the NBA has come forward and admitted it was a bad call they have got to take action next season in an effort to make sure this never happens again...
I don't know how Dallas fans are expected to get excited for next season after something like this...what is the point?

and the Sixers...:pimp:
I'm too lazy to go through the entire set of NBA rules, but do they specifically say the refs MUST call a foul if it occurs? I'm wondering because you occasionally see refs electing not to call a non-shooting foul because the player broke away for a dunk.
