[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 the issue finally dies[/QUOTE]
So the refs should call fouls based on whether or not the players want it to be called? If it was a foul, it should have been called. That's the bottom line. The player is not even relevant in this -- the ref(s) is.
well it isnt like it was a game 7 kind of ****... :rolleyes:

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.
WOW, this whole 2nd round is making the NBA look like the they have the worst officials in all of sports

NBA officials have more responsibility than any other, would be nice for them to be able to make it easier on them. Hey maybe make intentional fouls illegal so something like this doesn't happen again? It's a pretty stupid scenario anyway.

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.

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...
