Everything else is just the usual losing team bitching. Of course, they dont give a crap about the BS fouls that sent Sheed to the bench for 3 minutes down the stretch or that fouled out McDyess, no no, only fouls on the Magic are BS, none of the ones on the Pistons. As a matter of fact, the Magic didn't commit any fouls and the Pistons committed double the fouls they called for !!!!!!
dude McDyess' arms were extended over Dwight. He has to have his arms straight up. Dwight gets called for that type of foul all the time. That was a good call. Not so sure about the Sheed call (i can't recall what it was to be honest).
But question...did any of those result in 3 points and a significant swing in momentum? No. Which by the way, if you wanted to get into it, Sheed was yelling at the refs after the foul and was lucky not to get a tech, and when McDyess slammed his mask down on the floor i was surprised he didn't get a tech (you can't slam a ball but you can slam a face mask?).
Either way, hopefully the Magic can come back and win two in Orlando. if not Magic fans are going to be very upset over this for a LONG time. We already feel the Pistons get all the calls, are allowed to play much more physical than any other team in the league (i've felt this way ever since they won the championship), and are generally a very arrogant group of players. They won one championship and they act like they're the greatest team to ever grace the hardwood.
