They were running up the score period. They were jacking up 3s with like a minute left. Whether or not it's for big macs is irrelavant, because I sure as hell know that if some "punk" like Nate Robinson did the same thing for the fans at MSG, everyone here would be on his ass. Correct, it had everything to do with the score being a 30 point difference, and that's exactly the reason as to why you don't do that.
And please, don't get me started on Scott Skiles. The guy was throwing shots at Eddy Curry before and after the game. He's a piece of shit who knew exactly what he was doing in running up the score.
Alf, what coach doesn't complain about the refs? Phil Jackson does that shit all the time. When Isiah does it, more times than not its justifiable (if you saw the Utah game, geez man, I wish I could show you the technical they called on Curry after Okur flopped to the ground when no elbow touched him).
And Chad Ford is a dumbass. No one should take him seriously. This is the same guy who comes up with like 6 team trades during the trading deadline.
