Does it even matter at this point lol. Refs at this juncture are a pretty moot thing to object 2.
The refs starting really sucking it up when we got their lead down to 9. I agree we played like crap but the refs definitely called a crapload of calls in the Lakers favor the last 7 minutes of the 3rd. At the same time they weren't giving us calls (Gallo's drive, Chandler's 3), they gave Kobe a bullcrap and 1 call and then called Douglas for blocking that 3 point attempt. He didn't even touch the guy.
We still would of lost anyways, I'm not disputing that. I don't even think Melo can save this team because it all boils down to coaching and our coach is garbage. Coaches mean everything to a team. You can have all the stars in the world but if your coach sucks like D'Antoni, you're going to have a hard time winning.
Here's an example: Look at St. Johns... They've are playing awesome now and it's all because of the new coach. Steve Lavin took the same EXACT players that sucked the last 3 years and made them relevant and good enough to compete and beat the best teams in NCAA. That is coaching. D'Antoni is a joke.
