The 40 Worst Things About the NBA Season

[northeast]

fishonjazz, first, regular season means sheet, it's what happens in the playoffs that matters. Second, Malone was the premier inside scorer of his era, of course he shot more foul shots than scorers shooting fadeaways. that doesn't mean that he didn't deserve to go to the line. 3rd, that doesn't address how he was treated on the defensive end of the court, or how the team was treated, or the calls on travelling, or 3 seconds, or illegal d, or goal tending, or out of bounds, or fouls off the ball, or technicals, etc.

Salmon, you're just wrong, Shaq went to the line plenty, second, you are not noticing how often he got away with bowling people over on both ends of the floor or driving his elbow into their brain cavities without a foul being called, and you're crying because somebody put a hand on him sometimes without a foul being called

Also, look at all the calls in the games, in the playoffs, not just trips to the line (see above)

Neither of you talk about the rest of the team. Malone can't win a championship if the rest of his team is getting shafted constantly.

Your two arguments conflict with each other. You can't both be right. you should argue with each other for a while.

Lograd, Eaton did not get the same calls that Shaq got, they wre treated totally differently.
Shaq

Shaq in his prime had people bounce off of him, and he would NOT get called for a foul. Shaq would commit flagrants and NOT get called for a foul.
Totally the opposite of the treatment of Eaton.

Shaq

I wasn't actually arguing with anybody. I just was just saying that malone shot alot of free throws. more than guys like jordan who took the ball to the hoop alot, and more than guys like shaq and hakeem who played in the paint alot. Not really arguing just commenting. sorry to upset you though.

Early in his career , Amare was the superior player and his team was the superior team against Duncan's at least one year, but the refs won the series for Duncan and his team, enabling them to go on and win the title.

Mutumbo was the better player against Shaq at least one year and his team played at least equal to the Lakers, but the refs were the difference maker, giving the Lakers and Shaq the title.

There are many other examples.

These things never happened for Stockton and Malone like they happened for Duncan and Shaq. Yea the Jazz stars had a lot of nice statistics, but winning the title was what mattered most, and the refs were the difference maker many years, never in the favor of the Jazz.
