OMG! We agree that Stern sucks. We agree Amare doesn't get the calls. We agree that foul and the first technical were not legit.
The point is that Amare is not hurting Stern, but his own team.
Stern couldn't care less if Amare got ejected from every single game. Amare's team, however, would suffer.
Ok. And that is my point.
Maybe it is not the idiot refs but Stern who is doing this. If so he needs to be exposed.
I agree the "And 1's" need to stop. But if that is their pet peeve they should tell Amare to stop that or get T'd for it.
But I think it is personal.
Amare has had some family hardships and kept out of trouble himself so WTF does Stern have against him, he's not a criminal? If it is just the fraternity of refs that have a problem with Amare then they need to come out and say what it is because they are not doing their job in a professional, ethical manner and should be dealt with...which is also Stern's responsibility.
If Stern could care less that someone is being treated unfairly then he needs to know the integrity of the game is more important than his or their agenda or be removed/overthrown. Colangelo please take over.
Exhibit A: Leaving the bench has a no room for interpretation so Amare and Diaw suspensions were justified...What about when Duncan got off the bench in the same game when players got tangled up? but there was no 'altercation'. Was Duncan just stretching his legs? Why was he up out of his seat and on the court? ...please. Put all the lipstick you want on a pig's ass like Stern but **** is still all that will come out.
Bottom line______________If (yeah right) Stern is corrupt, then NBA is an entertainment fraud(mega lawsuits)
At least with the WWE or the Globetrotters, people aren't really misled to believe it's 100% real.
