Well, I understand everyone notices how bad the officiating is. However, in such a big game like this, officiating should be precise and lighter. I hope for game 7, these refs let these two teams go at it. I'm not saying no calls, but precise and justified calls.
Like when you see Hunter run into Duncan head first and get knocked out and not get a call, that's ridiculous. And yes, perhaps I'm more prone to notice things for the Pistons, becuase I'm a fan. However, I saw the same exact scenario in the 4th quarter with I think it was Bowen, who ran into Wallace when he posted up, and got knocked down. There's posting up, but when you add a little shoulder and knock a guy down, that's an obvious foul.
Also, Dave, c'mon man, you should know better! You're seeing a bad sampling frame and making an observation. Most Pistons fans don't think that the respect is long overdue. It's just obvious that team won the championship last year and got this far this year, what more respect do you need from that?
However, I will say this...I just flipped on Sport Center, and they stated, "In a time for the Spurs to win, they failed to do so." Hmmm....why not, "Under all adversity, the Pistons pulled off a critical win." I'm not going to say anything, but I find the media doing this often and find it a bit uncanny. I guess it's because they are the underdogs, even though they won a championship, sealed the deal in the East, and have contested everything the Spurs have done! Whatever, though...it should be a helluva game 7, regardless of who wins, just good basketball to watch!
(Go Pistons!
