You are not an NBA ref. We still love you though.
Amars said:It was a ticky tack foul if that. I hate it when refs bail out a guy who goes up uncontrollably at the end of game on ticky tack call. No ticky tack call should decide a game especially a finals game it just ridiculous. This foul wouldnt have been call in the 80's the last time basketball was any good. This is how bad the NBA has gone sour.

No it looks like Harris screwed the Mavs....
Section126 said:Yeah...with 135 to 134 scores on 47% shooting. Total crap.

You can go on believing that this is due to the "defensive era", but it's really due to poor shooting skills, bad fundamentals, and sloppy play. Besides, basketball is supposed to be an offensive game. It wasn't designed for ball control like football.
there's a reason I can't watch the NBA anymore until the playoffs start. and even those pale in comparison to what they used to be (although I'll admit this playoffs has been entertaining).
Are you actually serious? What's surprising is that you're old enough to have seen those games. Bird, McHale, Magic, Worthy, Kareem, Isiah, Jordan, King...the list goes on and on. Players knew how to shoot and play team basketball and games were much more exciting.Section126 said:Saying that basketball was good in the 80's is laughable.

Also, officials let these teams play. They would certainly never call a ticky-tack touch foul (to bail out a guy who had no chance of making the basket at all) with 1.9 seconds left of the most pivotal game of the NBA Finals. Face it, the NBA is now a business. Stern wants big markets and big stars to win. Period.
