if you come correct it doesn't matter how the refs call it, because you have superior talent (the knicks do),

we just didn't have it, and the biggest culprit to my mind was tyson chandler, who i am sure is either stoned or throwing the games

They were clearly the difference maker.

All you have to do is look at the free throw disparity and fouls called disparity. We shot about 18 free throws and they shot 40. There is no ****ing way a team that physical pulls that off. Ultimately, the refeering improved in the 2nd half but that doesn't say much considering how abyssmal it was to start. I mean, they called two phantom fouls against Shumpert and Martin in the final minutes of the game, which NEVER get called. The league needs to investigate these guys because I'm sure there are a few Tim Donaghey's in the bunch.

This is what I'm saying. I swear Lance Stephenson had two offensive fouls. One on Felton and the other on Prig. They went flying back and he nade the basket.

It was atrocious, plain and simple. What irritated me was that there was no consistency in the calls. If we're physical then it's a foul. If they're physical, then it's "play on". On multiple occasions I saw West physically holding a player until he caught a pass and it was NEVER called a foul. But at least the refs wallets will be a little heavier.

Don't think the league wasn't in on it.

Not saying that the league was and they don't have to be. Tim Donaghey wasn't working under league directive when he did what he did. He did mention that refs betting on games was commonplace back then though but since we live in this kindergarten country of ours, he did a bad thing and is a liar so anything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. And then we have ****ing games like this one...
