Referee's Are Flagrantly Full Of It! Artest Ejected Again
I can't believe that the referee's are so flagrant happy. I would like to think that Artest is not being, as he would call it, being history profiled in these playoffs. After being ejected from game 2 for doing nothing more than yelling at Kobe Bryant letting him know that he isn't going to be elbowed the way he was anymore, he is again tossed from the game for giving Pau Gasol a hard foul.
Kobe in a post game interview stated that Artest should not have been thrown out of the game either time. And actually Lowry had a hand in the foul as well. Luckily for the refs that the game was basically over, but what if it were in the middle of the 3rd quarter? Right now the officials want to be the game instead of managing the game.
At what point will the powers that be start fining the refs for making dumb, biased and unwarranted ejections? Come on NBA this initiative to make the NBA more fan friendly and Disney-like has got to go. Not only are you taking the men out of men's basketball you are making taking the hard foul out of the game.
What kind of foul are you suppose to give when someone is going full speed to the hole?Maybe you would just rather no defense be played at all? There needs to be more refs that have actually played the game to understand that just because a player hits the floor hard doesn't mean that they were flagrantly fouled.
But hey, this is just one man's opinion.
