I hear what you are saying, its not my first time watching a NBA game this season, so I know how bad the refs can be. But This was the playoffs and Denver was up 2-0 before tonights game. I am just saying it was cold that the ref didnt call that foul right in front of him in this close game. This very well cost Dallas there playoffs. Denver up 3-0 & Dallas has every right to be pissed.
your also not holding the player accountable.
ever hear of playing until the whistle is called? if he kept going and didn't give up, anthony more then likely would've missed a contested 3 point shot, then a wide open 3 pointer.
it came down to the player just giving up insteadof playing until the whistle is called.

True the player did give up and did not hear a whistle, that left Anthony open for a wide open 3 pointer, I agree. I just feel that ref should have made that call in that spot. I have seen it all season though. Sometimes 30 sec left on a clock, a player gets fouled and the ref does not call the first foul, they let 15 sec wind down and then call the foul after the 6th hit on the player.
Sometimes the refs called it right away this season. I know the refs are not gonna even be close to perfect in the NBA, but I cant help but to feel for dallas in this situation. It did suck for them.
It was clearly a missed call, The NBA just released a statement saying that the ref blew the call, and it should have been a foul called. Do you know how bad a ref has to miss a call for the NBA to come out after the game and say that. All you people saying it was a good no call are fucking idiots.
No, it was pretty obvious. He pretty much hacked Carmelo's arm.
AND the ref was right there.
AND the ref should know they're about to foul.
He could've done more, but he didn't need to. In those situations refs are prepared to call the foul. They should damn near by ready to blow the whistle. Still a moot point, he got him completely across the arm. It wasn't a "bump"
