The game in Philly where they didn't call the foul on Pierce at the end. I 
would consider that a "rob" since he was fouled twice on the play and once it 
was totally obvious and it definitely affected the outcome of the game. I 
mean, you can miss the charges and illegal defenses and call 3 seconds 
inconsistantly and that can be attributed to a ref's discretion. But to make 
a nocall on a obvious hack on a guy going to the basket at the end of the 
game that affects the outcome, that's just stealing...

 Couldn't you say that, since we _were_ the hometown team, we 
 should've gotten those calls, and thus, we were robbed?  (Well, maybe 
 "robbed" should be reserved for really important, obvious, 
 playoff-caliber ref thefts.)  Sure would like to see the refs call a 
 game for the hometown C's like they did for the hometown Sixers a few 
 games back, though.
