Did you NOT notice that everytime we had to pull Amare out is when they would go up by 20 and when he came back in we would catch up? Come on man???
The bad calls that went our way were against the only person that would take us out of the game. The calls against us were ludicrous. Go back and watch the game, only ONE of Amare's 5 called fouls were actually fouls including the BS technical that wasn't. We had NO chance to beat Orlando with STAT sitting out half the game, no matter how well we rebounded, shot, or handled the ball. We did miss crucial foul shots and free throws down the stretch but if we had Amare all game we would have won.
Yes Amar'e had some bad calls but you gotta remember this isn't the refs fault.Since Amar'e did get the fouls it's not like Dwight makes free throws so thats not working against us. Then you say once Amar'e is out they went on a run, well they started hitting shots. You were expecting them to miss open threes all game?
And if you want to blame it on the refs then we lost to Miami both times because of them to? There is no excuse falling behind 20+ points and blaming the refs like they gave Orlando 20 free throws in a row. Yes Amar'e did get some bad calls, but at the same time alot of those blocks we got on Dwight looked vicious and alot of the times they dont let that go. Can the refs be to fault for Gallo not stepping up and Felt tossing up 22 shots when Amar'e was out?
Listen I hate the refs as much as the next guy, but I hate blaming refs because at the end of the day if we were good enough we wouldn't have to worry about getting destroyed. Did the foul calls affect boxing out in the first quarter. No. They didn't make Gallo dissappear for half the game. They didn't make D'antoni not throw Mozgov or Turiaf out there when Wilson was gaurding Dwight
Sorry bout the long post I just hate the conspiracy crap.
EDit: Who's to say we win if we had Stat all game? If thats the case who's to say we don't win if Gallo showed up in the 1st half of the Boston game? Who's to say we dont beat MIA in NY if Gallo showed up in the second half?
