:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: If the Rockets without Yao can beat them by 20 points I can see the Nuggets sweeping the fakers.
thanks to the refs the nuggets are now going to lose in 7. sorry nuggets fans:pimp:
I'm pretty sure even a random street player can see that was a foul.
Once again NBA, upgrade your damn refs.
it was the type of foul, that if Mavs didn't have a foul to give it wouldn't be called, and if it was then all the fans would go crazy over that.
If Antoine Wright had full intent of fouling he would have wrapped him up, it's that simple. The Mavs are just looking at some reason to blame a horrible loss on... they only have themselves to blame.
christ some of you are dumb.
that was a clear intentional foul. the refs missed it and it cost the game.
anyone denying that is either Nugs homer or already hated the Mavs in the first place

It was a foul. But we both know if Melo missed that shot everyone would be saying it was good no call because of the situation.

It was a half assed reach in foul, not an intentional foul.

Listening to Carlisle and Kidd tell it? That play didnt cost them the game. While both acknowledge the missed call neither are pointing to it as the reason Dallas lost. Just a thought. I doubt either is a Nugs home or hates the Mav. :oldlol:

I feel bad for nuggets fans. All of this excitement over a team who is making a decent run only to find they cant hang with the better teams left in the playoffs. enjoy it while it lasts, because the nuggets arent that great.
j.r. smith = bad streak shooter
chris anderson = meth head
chauncy billups = greatness
carmelo = one of the best in the league
kenyon martin = ok at defense
so basically only real good thing denver has going for them is billups and especialy anthony.

yawn
its probably been mentioned already. too lazy to read all 12 pages.
but it def reminds me of last years WCF. brent is fouled, no whistle, goes for the shot anyways, could have tied the game and sent it to overtime (in this case melo made the shot, and wright was intending to foul. but similar none the less).

not necassarily saying it "cost" the spurs that game. but its still relevant. the league missing a really pivotal call like that at the end of a playoff game.

JR Smith = Instant offense off the bench. Can shoot from 30+ft, split doubles, and get to the rim at will.
Chris AndersEn = Instant energy, good finisher, defensive presence around the rim, and NOT a meth head (though did smoke weed with my boss two years ago. True story.)
Kenyon Martin = GREAT at defense, quickest hands in the league, quickest feet for a PF and tough minded.
Next.

:wtf:
This notion being tossed around that the non call handed the Nuggets the game is absurd. It's an embarrassment to the wonderful biological marvel that is the human brain.
First, Melo made an incredible shot. The refs didn't make it for him. Not many players would have made that shot. If Kobe or Lebron makes that shot under the same circumstances, the sporting press would be drowning in their own drool and jizz. The Mavs missed FAR easier shots in crunch time that could have iced the game.
If they made the call, Nuggets get the ball with plenty of time left to get off the shot, with the same player on the floor who wound up swishing a shot with icy smoothness. Guess what? The refs didn't give him the icy smoothness. Yet the crying clones want to assume he couldn't possibly make the same shot, even though he's established he can make that shot throughout his short career. People need to stop acting like the game was over if that call was made. Melo was still there and he was going to win it.
Second, instead of crying about the call, how about crying about the Mavs complete failure to execute in the final 30 seconds? When Terry hit that shot, they thought they won and they stopped executing. If you are nursing a 4 pt lead with 31 seconds left, the way you win is by playing defense for at least 8 seconds. If you give up an uncontested dunk in 3 seconds, you've put yourself in position to lose. I suppose the refs had something to do with taking away the Mavs ability to play basic fundamental crunch time defense at that moment as well....
Officiating in the NBA is crap, no doubt. It didn't start yesterday, and this isn't the first time a call at the end of a game played a roll in the outcome. This non call wouldn't even make the top 50 bad calls list from anyone who has been watching this league longer than a week. How many times have ridiculous calls sent people to the foul line to put up easy points. How many times have bad calls resulted in a change of possession in crucial moments. This was nothing of the sort.
To win in the NBA, you've got to be better than a bad call. If you're not good enough to overcome a single bad call, you have nothing to cry over. As a Nuggets fan, I could go on and on about games where bad calls cost the Nuggets in crucial moments. But in each case, there was something you could point to where the Nuggets simply failed to execute and got themselves in a position to lose because of that call. If you're not good enough to overcome that, you're not good enough to win.
The Nuggets had bad calls go against them in game 3. The Mavs were awarded a basket on an obvious clean block by Andersen... Howard stumbled on a layup while Dahntay Jones was clearly backing off with ZERO contact and Jones got a foul. Melo was called for an absurd foul on a scrum with 1:28 left that clearly should have been a jump ball. They only had THREE calls go for them the entire 4th quarter (so yes, that non call was consistent). On this game, on this night, they were good enough to fight through it. When their best player had a chance to win, he got it done. He was going to get his chance regardless of how the call went. When the Mavs best player had his chance to ice it or win, he didn't get it done. The Nuggets won the game and deserved every bit of it.

[QUOTE=asu77golf]There's a whole load of people in this thread who don't measure up with your description of a 'reasonable fan'. Maybe take another vote, your last one sucks.[/QUOTE]
true you and the other homers included. Be like me trying to justify the Amare stood up call vs the Spurs. It was a **** call that went in your favor. No need to be a baby. Celebrate, have fun , admit the refs ****ed up, admit there will be nothing done about it, enjoy the damn 3-0 lead and move on. There is zero need to try and defend a **** call just because it favored your team.
If you are going to foul a guy, then foul a guy.
From simple basketball standpoint ... how can you justify calling that foul if the player proceeds to hit a shot less than a second later?
Intentional fouls are lame anyways, in Europe an intentional foul is an automatic flagrant. Intentional fouls are worse than flopping.
