I was watching espn. I didn’t actually see what happened, just heard the whistle and then saw Oden coming out. Now I can only say this is totally insane after watching your clip.

Best thing about this is that Yao didn’t even need to flop to get this absolutely phantom call. where amazing happens, huh?

12 trips down the floor for both centers to foul out. That contact happens on EVERY play.

Nice job on the video.

I posted this in a couple spots since I’m a little late to the game here.

about us manhandling yao and him not getting any calls. Nate needs to complain to the league on Oden fouls. Nate needs to step up and defend his players, not just these fouls but also during the game.

and if i was oden i think i would explode

if you put a solid video together and took it to our congressional delegation, they’d be foolish not to capitalize on the opportunity. Honestly, if you really feel like something’s wrong with the NBA and have proof, that’s your best option for getting something done. Stern would be idiotic not to listen to those people.

Seriously, though, refs just suck. It’d be bad for the Blazers if something like that happened. It’d make Oregon look whiny. Unless the proof is solidly against Greg (meaning you’d have to show that there aren’t bad calls the other way), then this is a really bad idea.

Can’t wait for officiating to catch up with Oden’s size. That’s probably the biggest factor here. Oden’s much more physical than your average big NBA center. He’s more physical than Yao by a long shot, and he’s bigger and stronger than Howard. It looks like he’s clobbering people on the post much of the time. Refs have to make sure that Oden’s not in there beating up on people. Part of their job is to protect the players, and if a player comes in and is smashing people, they’ll call enough fouls on him to get him out of the game (I happened to learn this last night while ….. gambling with an official.)

That type of contact happens on EVERY trip down the floor. If you are going to call a foul on that, you’d better damn well call it every flippin time down the floor from that point on at both ends of the floor!!! Ron Artest rides B. Roy like a freakin’ horse and they don’t blow the whistle, but there are calling this crap?!?!? That is a complete injustice IMO. No excuse for that kind of officiating and there is nobody that can justify that call.
