    What’s up with all the sissy fouls the ref’s have been calling in the NBA finals. Never have I seen so many ridiculous calls in an NBA series. These are grown men getting tapped and then the referee steps in and says they’ve been hammered. Really?

    This is very detrimental to the overall quality of the game, and can seriously affect the outcome of a game (potentially series). With calling these knick-knack fouls (some which don’t even appear to have been made), you can get stars (KG, Ray Allen, Kobe) on the bench for a significant amount of time. Having Kobe out for a long stretch of game doesn’t affect the outcome of a game? Think again.

    Also, this puts teams in the penalty earlier, which means more foul shots. Worse, these foul shots happen at the end of the game, with the game on the line. This is the NBA Finals, the two greatest teams, an evenly matched series. This is going to be a close series with the overall consensus that this is a surefire 7 game series. With such close games foul shots are going to be EXTREMELY important to the outcome of the game.

    Defense is severely stunted when players are trying to avoid foul trouble and fouling out. Players are forced to play timidly, thus watering the substance of the game. It is a shame to see. This is already a great series, but just imagine how great it could be if they unleashed them to ACTUALLY play without these little sissy fouls they keep calling?

    PLEASE refs, LET THEM PLAY!
