Unbelievable. Carter gets his foul on one end, Hedo goes to the hole on the last play, gets fouled 3 times and no whistle. The NBA can kiss my a$$. Before the Carter foul, it was basically anything goes. Pushing, shoving, reaching in, etc. So lets give one team an opportunity and not the other, on the other team's home court no less. What a pathetic excuse of officiating tonight.

I'm sure the league is going to hear from Stan on this one. How in the hell can you call the Carter foul, which was basically Carter just throwing himself out of bounds and into Howard, while you don't call the obvious foul for Hedo, with Kidd holding Hedo, another guy reaching in slapping his arm and if that wasn't enough when Hedo gets to the basket, another guy reached in, grabbing his arm to knock the ball loose.

It was a foul anytime you drive to the rim aggressively 9 times out of 10 you'll get the call. Especially for a star player.
Good game guys I didn't think the Nets could pull it out.

They shouldn't have. Hedo should have went to the line. One guy is holding you, the other is slapping your arm, the last guy grabs your arm.

The refs gave the Nets a gift tonight. Plain and simple.

Lame to blame this one on the refs. Orlando had a 15 pt lead.

Blame the players for not matching the energy of Daryl Armstrong. Period. That's it.

Refs were inconsistent and bad all night, both sides.

The last play was questionable. But like Jnice said and I said on the Nets forum, the refs were not responsible for the Magic blowing a 15 point lead. The Magic had this game and blew it

You can't loose a 15 point lead then expect the refs to bail you out.
The Nets had the momentum and their defense was a key in the comeback.

Call it what you want.

Watching the game I felt that the Magic simply let up after the first half. Guys stopped giving full effort on defense and on loose balls. The calls have been bad all night, but still you can't be out there playing half-heartedly and expect to win, especially when your team isn't playing great basketball these days.

I just saw the last minute...Turkoglu was fouled at least twice on that play.Have no idea how the rest of the game was officiated and I don't really care one way or the other

That has been Orlando's main problem at home. They are playing complacent at home. Same thing happened tonight. Seemed like they felt they had the game the whole night but I had a feeling they were in trouble. There was way too much smiling, laughing, and goofing off going on, including Dwight.

Then Armstrong came in and showed Orlando what Heart and Hustle was and completely flipped the game.

And I believe Orlando has now lost every game where Dwight has shot less than 50% from the free throw line.

Refs were bad, but Evans missed 7 of 8 shots from the bench, Howard missed 7 free throws from 10...SVG did not play Dooling and that was very stupid, Arroyo had 16 points and 7 assists with no turnovers but played just 30 minutes, if he is a starter now then he should get starter's minutes, especially when he is playing great...Jameer played entire 2nd quarter and we have scored just 15 points, we should have better lead after the halftime...Blame SVG for this loss!

Idunkonyou

Nah, I blame the refs. They were letting anything and everything go in the 4th, yet they bail Carter out at the end and to top that off it was a flop on his part. If they would have given Hedo the same respect, who was obviously fouled, there would have been no problem, but they didn't and the sad part was Kidd was trying to intentionally foul him by holding him once he knew he was owned on the drive. Then another guy slapped his wrist and yet another guy grabbed his arm, which is why he couldn't even get a shot off. He wasn't just fouled once, he was fouled 3 times on that drive. It was pathetic.

I also believe they would have had to put Nelson in the hospital for him to get a call. He drove to the bucket all night, got destroyed and no whistle.
