"Inadvertent whistle."

Riiiiggghhhtttt.....

It happens.... It was blown well after the shot, seemed like the correct call to me.

Except when the ref admits he blew the call...

He's admitting that he missed the foul call. There are numerous missed calls in the duration of a game. I don't think he's admitting that the whistle had an effect on Rose's miss. A inadvertent whistle results in a jumpball so it was the correct procedure. Most could argue that it was a foul but his whistle had no effect on that shot, IMO. I also hate when players do that pump fake and lean in. I understand by the rules, it's a foul, but it just irks me.

And no call has gone the bulls way at all. poo happens. Deal with it.

Slow your roll pal.

It all evens out, I'm aware of this.

The overarching sentiment on this site is the Bulls get all the calls.

I think this situation makes it clear that that is NOT the case.

So you all can deal with it, I'm perfectly fine with letting the chips fall where they may.

I misunderstood you. My bad. I don't think the Bulls have been getting all the calls. I think it's been pretty even with a few going Rose's way.

Hinrich's injury really has been a blessing. Teague looks to me to be the PG of the future. His game is very Derrick Rose-esque.

I don't get this Hawks team at all. They have all the talent in the world and they just don't care at times.

Collins need to be in there so Smith can move to the 3.

Horford's consistency of that mid range game might be the best among bigs.

[tarheelblue89]

How is that not a foul? hahahahaha

Talent doesn't really equate to being a good team. On offense they stand around too much and rely too much one-on-one.

Joe Johnson just did that so nonchalantly. Maneuvering for that floater.

[tarheelblue89]

They aren't living up to their potential because they are lazy. They go numerous positions where they don't run plays, they just run around and if they get trapped they just throw it to the nearest guy.

Damn Taj, what is that now 11 pts in the 4th? Chicago leads 3-2.
