And that is what happened in the closing seconds of the game 3. They let the players decide the outcome of the game. The referees listened to the complaints and suggestions flooded off the should have been no call in game 2.
WTF? what kind of argument is this? referees should adhere to the rules and should never listened to outside pressures. In the NBA, referees doesn't call that kind of foul in devance in the dying seconds of the game, hence, the saying that the refs doesn't decide the outcome of a game but the players. That kind of foul(or was that a foul on devance?) can be acceptable if it was committed in the earlier part of the game, but in the dying seconds? definitely a boo-boo, unless the foul was hard.

Blindly follow the rulebook.. then don't call soft fouls if the game is on the line? See what happens if you share opinion without even thinking or (say) informing yourself?
So you think the rule book states there are violations that can only be called during the end of the game.. and there's another set of violations (which is foul in this topic), rather the definition of 'foul' changes throughout the game time?
Also, don't argue with the NBA as your focal reason. It's IRRELEVANT (There that's such a nice word). Simple thing, the topic is the finals game of this conference's in the PBA. Not the NBA or how things handled in the NBA compared to PBA. If you don't watch the local scene (PBA) then don't even bother sharing an uninformed (There you go again!) opinion.
@Moderators - I think you should also issue a statement regarding posts "Nanonood pa ba kayo ng PBA?". That's really.. (you know what I really want say).
When I post something, I try to be relevant as much as possible. I state current specifics and avoid general point of view.
