You don't take the ****ing game out of the players hands with that offensive call on Carmelo. There was no elbow. He's battling for position. Pierce flopped like the bitch he is. Let's get em game 2.
You let Melo receive the ball, size up Pierce and make the play -------- let the players decide the game in that situation..All the more infuriating when you see the replay and see that there was basically no foul by Melo there at all..Pierce's arms were all over Melo, through him in fact, and he was leaning on him heavily..All Melo was doing was jockeying for position to receive the damn ball..Pierce was drapped ALL OVER THE MAN --- Pierce was the one permitting Melo from receiving the ball, creating the contact...Even if Melo did foul him (say Melo initiated even more contact than he actually did) you still don't call that, not with the game in the balance like that, that late in the contest. To me an offensive foul should occur when a player has full posession of the ball, makes his move and runs over someone. OR REALLY GAINS AN ADVANTAGE on the play to receive the ball, blatantly shoving off a defender to receive the ball, etc or setting a hard, moving pick to free up a teammate..That wasn't the case at all with that play. Come on...HORRENDOUS call that definitely affected the outcome of this game as far as I'm concerned. The Knicks are a good offensive team with one of the best offensive players in the game today getting ready to receive the ball..I would've liked our chances there to put points on the board. Not to mention we had a majority of the 24 sec clock to work with there....People pay money to see what Melo was gonna do to Pierce right there, make or miss. Not to have the moment robbed from the Knicks by some overzealous referee..I still can't get over it --- that's how big a gaff I think that was.
I saw the game on MSG...What did the guys over on TNT have to say about that call? Anyone watch it on TNT?
:agreed: This just ruined my weekend, we better win game 2 or else we have no chance.THAT CALL MADE ME SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man IM SOOOOO DAMN HEATED RIGHT NOW.....no way Im getting any sleep tonight! I cant believe this, unbelivable.
The Refs and Celtics should of walked out of the TD Garden with guns and masks because they robbed the Knicks blind tonight.

Somebody ****ing hold me back. I'm SO ****ING PISSED RIGHT NOW I don't even know what to do. I literally want that ref dead. I've never been so upset in my life. Maybe its the pile up of 7 straight years with no playoff appearances? That game was ours. And that bitch ass ****er took it away from us.
When you bget robbed like this by the f*ckin refs after fighting and scrapping all game long, it leaves me full of anger and frustration! I gotta work 15 hours tommorrow and be up at 6am and I know I'm not going to sleep cause of this BS!!!!!!!!!
REPLAY actually shows that Paul P. had his hands on Carmelo's back the entire time, right as the cross from half court until pass was delivered. A terrible call. Again, like what happened in the BIG EAST TOURNY, the ref has to be removed and penalized. NO WAY you can permit that sort of officiating on this level.
