Steve Javie Sucks in a Major Way!
Foul Shooting my friends. When an opponent shoots 20 more ft's than you on your home floor something is usually wrong. However, when your opponent shoots 20 more ft's than you in the fourth quarter, in a crucial playoff game, it starts to get a little fishy. Mr. Steve Javie you officially screwed the Jazz over tonight. I realize that referees are human and are going to make mistakes, however, if every time Ginobili flops, or Parker falls to the ground a foul is called how can the Jazz expect to compete. I never see D-Will or Booze get the same non-existent foul calls that the "floppy spurs" get and it drives me crazy.
This game is just a perfect example of what has gone on this entire series. Game 1 there was a critical offensive foul called on AK that even the commentators admitted was not a foul on Ak but a block on Ginobili. In game 2 Harpring was clearly fouled by Horry on a lay-up and once again a no-call. That no call was then followed up by a clear foul on Millsap while shooting, that somehow was called a foul but not on the shot(to which Mark Jackson scoffed in disbelief). Basically, the timing of a bad foul can have a major impact on the outcome of the game and I really don't see the Spurs ever getting bad fouls called on them.
Tonight, Oberto tips in a ball that is clearly still in the cylinder, and there is no call. Ginobili pushes off on Giricek who is then called for a foul, and when he puts his hands on his head in disbelief is T'd up. Ginobili later creates space by elbowing Fisher(a no call), drives to the hole, and while running back down the floor runs into Fisher(who is then T'd up). These are momentum breakers, and I beg any Spurs fan to find me even two calls that didn't go their way tonight. My biggest problem with the NBA is the total lack of consistency in officiating. The stars get all the calls, and since Utah apparently doesn't have any stars we won't get any calls. To get the goods on Steve Javie, the man responsible for all the t's tonight go here!

I did a Google search for "Steve Javie Sucks", and came up to your blog.
You are right on point.
The Spurs are physical and aggressive and all those ESPN buzz words; but whenever Utah tried to do the same thing; it was a foul or a technical.
That game last night mirrored the Kings/Lakers Semi-Finals game a few years ago; as perhaps the worst officiated game I've ever seen.
I cringe everytime I see Javie on the court - and tonight was no different.
Wow. Embarrassing on all levels for fans of the sport of basketball.
No question - Javie has a tendency to make his games personal. I definitely saw some of that last night. However, what I also saw was a lack of aggression on Utah's part in the 4th quarter. They should have been hammering it inside drawing fouls just like Ginobli did. Also, where was Okur? Seven shots total? Give me a break. If he, Harpring and Giracek are no-shows, we don't have a Chinaman's chance.
True. However, when SA is getting FT's everytime down the floor the Jazz basically have to convert 70% of their possessions in the 4th quarter into baskets. That is simply asking too much. The flopping is over the top out of control, and SA is getting all the calls.
agree with you for the most part except Fisher shouldered Manu, Manu didn't even see him nor would he have bumped into had Fisher not purposely gotten in his way.
Steve Javie's crew for the blazer 76ers game tonight (3-23-09)was so bad it makes me wonder why we don't have a section in the box scores for the refs. Honest, the calls were so in favor of the 76ers, that with 1:20 left in overtime the Blazers simply stopped playing and just stood around looking at the refs in disbelief. Not that the 6'ers didn't play well, this was a very good game, but the refs favored them from the start, and the lack of calls for the blazers in the OT was just amazing.
Makes me wonder if the NBA is a branch of pro wrestling?
So nice work Steve, way to represent!
Im a seasone ticket holder with the blazers. sec 104 j and i have too say that the officiating at tonights blazers-sixers game was one of the poorest. steve javie....your an asshole! calling out calls that shouldnt have been made. he must have had a bet going on down in las vegas or something, its sad that i would have to say that but now days you never know. so for that.......rot in hell javie, i speak on behalf of the entire rose garden
