Scott Foster is a dreadful referee.

And that flagrant 1 call on Artest is probably the biggest joke call of the playoffs.

After the foul, he pushed the guy in the back. Easy flagrant call. Have you no eyes? Watch it again. The league has to protect players from being hurt. Bynum (elbow to Perkins' head in 1st qtr) and Artest are out to hurt people and they must be controlled. Remember what happened in Game 4 of Mavs/Lakers? We can't have players hurting other players. There have been enough injuries. Good call.

Reputation call, nothing more or less. Any other player wouldn't have that foul called on him. I can't blame the ref, though. Ron earned that call by his actions throughout the series.

One of the worst calls I've ever seen.

Clear joke call.

That is ridiculous. Kobe committed his third foul and called it on another guy to protect Kobe. That was the worst call of the game.

A foul was still called and it's hard to tell in that situation.

Artest call was clearly a terrible call. Ron got mostly ball and there wasn't anything about the play that was flagrant. A flagrant foul is only called on non basketball plays, and Ron made a great play on the ball.

Joke call. It makes the league look bad.

Do you have eyes?? After the play on the ball you are referring to, whether that was a foul or not, he pushed the guy in the back! What happened up to that point doesn't matter. You need to watch it again. He pushes the guy with an extended arm.
 
A flagrant foul is issued on non basketball plays. Ron Artest clearly made a basketball play.

Learn the game, then post.
 
He made a basketball play and THEN made a push into the guy's back, a NON basketball play.

Game learned.
 
Boom go the Lakers. And once again we can say... it's a great day to be a Blazer!

As a Blazer fan, you get used to disappointment. You let it roll off your back or it will destroy you. You can only hope that all the pain, all the anguish, all the heartache will make the eventual return to glory for the Blazers and a future title all that much sweeter.
 
I wonder how awkward it is for KP to watch Durant and the Thunder.

The "will win scoring titles, not NBA titles" guy and his team are legit contenders.

fuck okc
 
LA is a joke.... but what can they do? Gasol doesn't have much value and it's not like they're going to deal Kobe.
 
Did I miss it? Anyone mention police in OKC have taken two people into custody for shooting at a group of people after the game? Reports are fuzzy but apparently some men started shooting at a group of women. Seven people were taken to the hospital and a pregnant woman roughed up.

Damn, and we hear nasty stuff about Oakland - can't remember any shooting after Oakland sports victories. Here is a NY Times link, a later report said there were arrests.
 
NBA looked at the flagrant fouls and suspended two players:

Pittman: 3 games
Haslem: 1 game

Hansbrough flagrant-1 was upgraded to a flagrant-2 but was not suspended.
 
That Pittman foul was a Bynum-esqe bitch level move.
