Be The Ref

In what will be one of the more biased and unscientific polls in internet history, you be the ref.  What was the correct call at the end of the game last  night -- foul on Terry or Billups?  We know how Cuban feels, but what about you?

Again

as I said afterwards, you don’t call a foul there. You let the teams play it out.

There might've been a foul

When we threw the long pass inbounds…the Nuggets intercepted it since someone (was it Dirk?) was being held or pushed from under the basket by Nene

I bet george karl

I bet george karl stuffed the ballot box his face with food.

Muschamp seems like the kind of guy who used to beat up guys like Bob Stoops in high school.

there isnt an argument here

in the same way you cant clear out with your off arm during a shot, you cant clear out with your leg… if you think this is a foul you are a dumbass… and nba refs are dumbasses

Really proffessional comment..........

from the commentator on Cuban acting UN proffessional at end of the game…………

by dgatorr on Jan 14, 2009 9:30 AM CST reply actions  

you

didnt show the rest of the freeze frames

based on the 2 you showed, its a foul on billups but if you continue, its a 50/50 call

dude he kicked his leg out before any other contact was made

you are wrong… i know you are trying to sound unbias, but you are wrong

here is what dirk said… if the league says its a foul…. then ITS A GD FOUL! just sucks the nba refs and obviously kumizi dont know the rules…

“I think Chauncey was hung up in the air and really had nowhere to go, and kicked his leg out and gets the call,” Nowitzki said. “The league told us when you kick your leg out this season, it’s an automatic offensive foul.”

yah

since hes the one who is convinced it was a foul on terry because AFTER billups extended his leg to clear room and kicked terry… terry’s body nudged billups body…

Actually

I meant to include a second screenshot that showed Terry having moved into Billups, but accidentally deleted my recording first.

Either foul on Billups or no foul.

But sense the league said that kicking your leg out is an offensive foul, the foul should be on Billups.

I have witnessed time and time again.

I was wondering where all of those votes came from...

I’d already read that Tomasson piece…interesting. I didn’t even see the elbow incident on the League Pass feed.

19 people and the ref

who don’t know the rules so far…

You could know the rules

and say Billups sticking his leg out was ‘natural’ and in a ‘basketball manner’. You’d be in the minority though, that’s for sure…

this isnt about being fair or unbias to our fellow blog readers...

this is about that referee blowing it and there isnt a good excuse…
