RE: A foul delay

Yeah some were good calls, others they called on us and similar ones on the
Sixers went uncalled. When you have such a disparity something smells fishy.
We definitely saw the two sides of Antoine Walker we have some to know. On
fire in the first half keeping the C's in the game, cold as ice in the
second and taking several ill advised shots.

I hate Eric Snow!  This guy should not go off on us like this.

It wasn't necessarily a specific call that I had in mind; it was the general
lack of fairness in the calls. I mean, come on; 44 free throws to 18???
Ridiculous. It seemed that the C's could not look twice at "Mr.
I'm-Not-A-Franchise-Player" without being called for it, but on the other
end, there was a suspicious lack of whistles for Pierce or Walker when
driving the lane. Now there were certainly occasions where they didn't
deserve a call, but unfortunately the refs made no distinction; it was just
no calls at all.

But like I said before, Walker and especially Pierce need to drive in
anyway--the refs will not change their behavior if you change yours.

Also, though many have chastised Walker for shooting so many 3's, it was
obviously his 3-pointers that kept us in the game in the 1st half, and I was
disappointed when he passed up an open 3 that could have secured the lead
late in the game, passing it off to someone else (Pierce?) ultimately
resulting in a turnover. No need to get shy about your 3's now, Toine.

Anyway, Thursday we'll be discussing our matchup with Detroit. :-)
