also if they would call all the fouls that should be called, cp3 will foul out in the 1st quarter.

I do. We used to have one of, if not the worse flopper in the league in Devin Harris. I hated when they gave him some of those calls. Most of the time he wasn't even there. Dirk does it a lot too as opposed to grabbing a rebound in traffic. Raja wasn't a flopper yet when we had him. Much the opposite, he was an absolute physical brute enforcer type guy, always wanted to fight everybody. Dirk/Nash used to get away with blatantly illegal moving screens too when they did that pick and repick and repick and roll in the middle of the court until they forced the swtich.

I also hate how guards coming off the pick and roll just dribble into the chest or leg of the hedging big man.

So do I. I'm quick to say whether someone deserved a call or not. If they give my favorite team (Lakers) a rediculous call, I'll always say theyshouldn't have called it. Even when I'm watching a team I don't care for and they get a bad call, I'll say they shouldn't have calledthat.

QFT. The "script" for the playoffs is probably sent in before the All-Star break

Oh, right. I know Dwyane Wade is good because the NBA told me. It has nothing to do with me watching him have performances like his 55 tonight.

Expand on your point man. So far I'll I've gotten from your one sentence posts are that the Olympic team was selected based on jersey sales and thatthe NBA tells people who are the best players. Bold your point and put it in huge font in your next post so I can see what you're trying to convey

Heat v Dallas finals

All sports may exhibit this once in a while, but the NBA is something else. They're totally ridiculous and blantant with the preferential treatment

no because the nba tells you who the best players are

the players that sell the most jerseys made the team
^they sell the most jerseys because their the best players

or has the NBA hypnotized me into thinking that?

I'm not saying they're not talented... the nba chooses the players with the best combination of poitential and marketability then you kow the story...Dal/Mia finals season was wades rise to the top was it not... he was literally untouchable that series... shot more freebies than the entire dal team the onegame but no one pays attention you only see the point total

i feel you man, i threw up almost as much watching the blatant no calls that happened at the end of game 5 in the kings favor in that series.
