Re: Refs Kicking Walker In The N@@@, Trade Him

Sarcasm aside, that is not the point I was making. I even said I was not talking about last night in particular, although it is more frustrating in losses than in wins. Anybody who doesn't think the refs hate Walker and allow it to affect their refereeing is just plain blind.
No, it is not the only reason the team is mediocre. Wallace has most of that blame on his shoulders. But it certainly affects the team a lot.

I am turning more and more about Obie. His weakness is developing rookies. But every coach has weaknesses. I think the 3-point attack from Obie is because he knows the C's would be dead if they ever tried to go inside consistantly. Obie knows and has recently begun to talk a little bit about the discrepencies that the refs show. He talked about the Reggie Miller play on Paul. I forget now who they played but shortly after that Paul was held by the arms so the opposing team could get a three off at the end of the game. Obie talked about that. He knows the C's most often come up on the short end of the stick. Going inside would do no good.

Maybe Tommy is to blame. Maybe the refs are sick of hearing him complain about him. No one likes to be critisized and human nature is to strike back at the person delivering the critisism. They can't personally get Tommy, so they do the next best thing. They stick it to his beloved C's.

Who knows what the reason is? All I know is I am sick of it. No, the C's are not a great team. Yes they have weaknesses. But they still deserve to have the game called fairly for them, don't they? I am sick of seeing Kobe and Tracy and Vince and Jason and Tim and Shaq get star treatment while our guys get crap.

I am not saying that the C's would be title contenders if the game was called fairly. But at least then we'd know just how good or bad they are. Right now, there's just no way to tell.

Shawn Niles is absolutely correct. There is a Referee Conspiracy
against Toine. We see this in his ever diminishing rebounding numbers.
Normally you would ascribe such a decrease in output to Walker's
inability
to block out, his lack of leaping ability, the fact that he's the MOAB
of the NBA
and plays too far away from the hoop. But that doesn't apply in this
case.
It's those evil refs that are too blame.

Watch any game and action close to the hoop. As you see Antoine go up
to snare a rebound, watch as a Ref will surrepetioulsy sneak up and kick

Antoine in the b@@@@  causing him to forfeit the carom.

It happens every game, yet the NBA doesn't do anything about it, cause
they're all part of the conspiracy and they hate the Celtics.
