Video/photos of Jazz bogus gift no call while hacking Durant?

[Fabbs]

Technos,

Anybody able to "save" this footage before Stern has it removed? In either vid or up close photo? Have an even closer better angle? Does and could continue to greatly effect the seedings.
Durant being obviously hacked by CJ Miles at the buzzer in the Jazz 140-139 *win* in Pastyville. It was like Miles was doing an intentional foul, that obvious.

As many freebies Durant gets a game he needs to just shut up about this.

That's retarded. It's not like the refs decide to give him tons of free throws, he finds ways to get to the FT line, that's what good scorers do. He's long, athletic, and is a crafty scorer. That's why he gets tons of free throws. Also his frail frame earns him a lot of calls because his body doesn't absorb contact as well as someone like Lebron James, but there have been a lot of skinny players before him who have used their frail frame to get more FT's.

"LOOKS like he got him on the wrist" ??

:lol WEASAL WORDS

Has nothing to do with his wrist being "frail". :lol

NBA reffing decides games and so just sucks.

like Fisher's no-call when tackling Brent Barry on a 3G at the buzzer in the elimination game.

Everyone deals with bad calls....man up.

[nkdlunch]

this is a terrible non-call. Almost as bad or worse than the non-call of Fisher's foul vs. Brent Barry 2 years ago.

This is such fertilizer and arrogant. Yes arrogant.

To claim a player and team should be sooo good that they can overcome bogus reffing is just flat overestimating their talent. Yes, if a game has an equally # of bad calls it kind of neutralizes the point. That is NOT what happens against such players as Kobette and the Flamers. If a team outplays Kobitch and deserves to have earned a tight win by 4 points but the Sternrefs gift Kobette 8 points, guess what? A 4 point win is manipulated into a 4 pt loss.

No amount of **manning up** is going to overcome rigged/incompetent reffing in an otherwise tight game.

Did not see entire game but was Durant given a bunch or even a few bogus calls vs Utah in Pastyville? I doubt it.

By the way what are the phone numbers of the chicks in your signature? I like em both but the one on the right more.

Obviously NBA officiating is inconsistent and weak, especially when it comes to favoring certain teams that wear purple and gold, but Durant gets more superstar calls than anybody in the NBA other than MAYBE Wade and Lebron..he also flops on his shots as much as anybody in the NBA, so once you reach that point, officials probably have a difficult time calling legit fouls..

Durant was getting ridiculous calls in clutch time vs. Boston last week..

Utah gets away with a lot on their home floor too..it's all part of the NBA's poor officiating system..

I have never seen the officials having any trouble calling fouls for Lebron, Wade, Kobe, ever.

[mavs>spurs2]

obvious foul, he should be pissed. it's just a regular season game though, where i start to get outraged is when this stuff happens in the playoffs.

[ambchang]

Refs rounding into playoff form like they should be.

[oh crap]

lol.. harlemheat hates on Durant every chance he gets because he doesn't like his facial acne.

I bet Scottie Pippen is rolling in his grave.

Anyway video proof of why the Jazz are so tough at home, but suck on the road.

[Halberto]

They've been making it a habit to avoid calling fouls when theres only a few seconds to go. Refs were being criticized years ago, even by commentators, to "just let them play the game."

Here is the result.
