Re: Tommy H.

I heard it too, and did I ever laugh!  You had to hand it to Tommy.  My
thought when the ref warned him in the first place was that he'd be better
off officiating the game than listening to the announcers.  Shows his
attention was not where it should have been.  I think the fans need to get
on the refs big time.  Not even Michael Jordan should get away with fouling
and not being called, nor should a foul be called on someone guarding him
just because he's who he is, when many times it was Jordan who made the
foul, or there simply was no foul.  He doesn't need any help from the
officials.  This is getting ridiculous, but at the same time, I think
Antoine irritates the refs.  I know we've had this discussion before and I
don't want to start it again, but he hasn't earned the right to showboat.
