Biased Jazz Fans Vent


Ok, I will be the first to admit I am a biased Jazz fan. That being said I would like some logical non-biased person to explain to me the following. How in the world do the San Antonio Spurs shoot 25 free throws in the 4th quarter and the Utah Jazz only shoot 2? Do not tell me that it was because the Spurs were more agressive and taking it to the hoop more than the Jazz. Watch the tape and you will see how many free throws were awarded to the Spurs 30 feet from the hoop. Manu "Walking Seizure" Ginobili was the worst offender.

Question two: How correct does it seem that the lead official Steve Javie calls a total of 28 fouls, 24 against the Jazz and 4 against the Spurs? There is no logical explanation for such a thing. The only reasonable explanation is that Javie is against the Jazz. I am not one to honestly believe in conspiracy theories. I think they are crap, but after last night's game I have to start and wonder. Javie has a history of this kind of behavior not only here in Utah but other places. He seems to get a chip on his shoulder against a certain team and then he just doesn't give a rats about anything. The NBA needs to step up and kick him out of the league. How are his actions any different than what Joey Crawford did against Tim Duncan earliers this year?

Steve Javie Facts:

Ejected a mascot in 1991
Ejected a radio analysit in 1994
Investigated for tax evasion in 1999
Told Pat Riley "It's giving us absolute delight to watch your team die." 2002
Ejected a fan in 2007

That being said the Jazz did not do themselves any favors in the game. Every time they had a chance to take the lead they would throw the ball away or give up an offensive rebound. The Spurs probably deserved to win the game last night but still the league needs to do something about the officials last night.

    I'm convinced the NBA wants the Jazz out. Explain to me how 5+ flagrant fouls by Golden State in the last series don't warrant a single ejection, but Fisher bumps Manu for flopping and gets thrown out. I smell double standard. The NBA is turning into the WWF.

    Off with his head! The NBA is only hurting themselves. If they want to clean up their image they need to start with the REFS
