Karl Malone doesn't like to complain about the refs much, but Karl Malone knows the refs gave this game to Cleveland. The refs called 14 more fouls on the Jazz than the Cavs. Karl Malone also can see that the Cavs shot 15 more free throws than the Jazz.

Karl Malone knows this game wasn't fully fair. Discuss!
 
I agree, Mr. Malone. Adam Silver is in love with LeBron James.
Karl Malone thinks there needs to be some way to prove this. Because it is true. Karl Malone will re-watch the game and analyze the fouls. These refs either sucked or were trying to help Cleveland win. So lame.
 
Jazz shot 4 free throws after getting into the bonus in the third quarter. Cleveland shot 16 in that same period.
 
Part of it is that vets seem to know how to grab and hold and get away with it while the Jazz get whistled for looking crosseyed. I suspect as the Jazz get older and more experienced they will learn the tendencies of the Refs and other players and develop a reputation for defense, the calls will probably even out a bit more.

Yeah, this.
 
Karl Malone shouldn't complain about refs...once upon a time Karl Malone also got superstar treatment from the refs.
 
I heard Locke saying that one of the refs last night wasn't even on the NBA refs roster. That was the ref who called at least two phantom fouls on Favors. They were speculating that he might have been a last minute call up from the D-League because one of the crew chief refs was injured in a game (can't recall the circumstances they described, maybe even a heart attack or something) two nights ago.
 
I usually don't like to complain about the refs but yesterday they really disadvantaged the Jazz, especially in the 3rd quarter! It has been shameful!
