It's almost similar to monday nights football game when everybody was looking for a past interference call favoring gronkowski ..there was no way on earth he had the ability to catch that ball in the end zone, and it seem to me that brady threw the ball looking for the flag as oppose to him actually throwing a catchable ball

Lebron
George
rose
Irving
jeez...
Rose hasn't looked back on form yet, and Irving is having a strangely bad season so far- kind of sad that only Lebron and George are playing top level basketball in the east...

..........you mean like Houston did in the last game against us. They notify the ref they are going to fould and the ref calls it on contact. I forget, can someone remind me who won that game?

Well, you could argue we'd be 5-6 if 2 very questionable calls go our way.

I'm projecting smack.. rose will be back to old rose sooner or later.. kyrie will figure it out, for christ sakes he is just 21 years old... the east is going to be tough with these guys for years to come..

thats where woodson comes in, barg fouls david west on the inbound, and you send a 69% ft shooter to the line.
Thats why i'm starting to hate woodson, the knicks switch so much it make your head spin, but this was a time where switching would have been perfectly acceptable, then you have a 7 footer guarding a 6 8" player heaving up a 27 footer.
How many games have we loss under woodson because the knicks never ever foul up by 3 with seconds left in a game..

Agree. Also have to wonder when a close call goes the home teams way. The lack of continuation/quick whistle on the Harden foul against the rockets followed by the whistle that couldn't be blown for three seconds when the Knicks were fouling the rockets cost the Knicks that game. The 'foul' on George and subsequent no call when Anthony got hammered cost the Knicks the game last night.

Agree. Or Houston. I guess if you play preseason games in manila you get the calls?
