Suns got Screwed

**fan4ever** · 05-02-2006, 04:15 PM

This may seem like old news but they got so hosed Sunday. Diaw calling time out a foot away from the ref before the jump ball was called has been played on ESPN, and of course this picture is just infuriating. Yep, I'm a homer, but how come it seems the calls do seem to ever go against the bigger market teams when it comes to deciding the game?

Sorry if this has been discussed; didn't see it.

Yeah, the posts got moved to the whiny bitch section of the board.

**fan4ever** · 05-02-2006, 04:17 PM

That's not nice; or clever.

I had attached a photo to go with this but didn't show up. My bad; I'll try again.

from what I understand is you have to have the ball to call timeout?

kcxiv · 05-02-2006, 04:20 PM

just like Kobe got hacked at the end of game 1. Get over it and move on. 3-1 GOOO LAKERS

Yeah, well that's the NBA. The Wizards got screwed when LeBron took about 4 steps too many with his game winning "shot". Human error, take it or leave it.

I know, the stars are allowed 4 or 5 steps. Look at the picture, see where the refs are and tell me this wasn't a major F-up. I don't usually bitch about officiating, but this, along with ignoring Diaw calling for a time out put me over the top.

So glad the ref was looking at the ball

Its just our gift back from game 1. Pay back slappies payback.

I don't believe so; just possession. Otherwise ESPN's been making a big deal about nothing as far as that goes.
