Dude. They made THE EXACT same call at the other end.

I remember this game. I think neither foul should have been called. The one on Granger was definitely not a foul, and Lebron's foul was probably not a foul either. Refs are so inconsistent in late game situations.

@allstarrrr12 actually thats pretty consistent...they called both fouls

[pacerfan1231]

The granger foul was bad, but the lebron foul was the same, so it had to have been called

@animebrawler Well in my opinion, Reddick does suck, but I never said Nash sucked

[animebrawler]

@awrashoo well you said nash and reddick suck which is wrong but lebron is better than them clearly. Although nash is the better shooter

[awrashoo]

His defense is bad, even when you consider the number of great point guards. He's like the 5th best point guard in the league when you consider both offense and defense

1.Chris Paul

2.Deron Williams

3.Chauncy Billups

4.Rajon Rondo

5,Steve Nash

As for Reddick, if u would please look at the original argument, i was responding to a guy who was comparing Reddick and Nash to Lebron James. Now it is clear that Lebron is miles better than both of those players, so i dont think i said anything wrong

@awrashoo steve nash was a late bloomer everyone knows that.. Look at his avging over the last 3 years. JJ reddick is a decent NBA player not everyone in the NBA is GREAT and has SUPERSTAR skill.

As for nash defense he is mediocre defensively.. Also remember that PG is one of the hardest positions to defend now a days since theyre are so many great PG in this league. Nash is not an MVP this year or last year but he's top 15 best players right now and you should respect him. He's a future HOF

@animebrawler Man look at his career stats. Yeh he's a good shooter, but since when did that make a great player? He is one of the worst defensive point guards in the league, and his career assists per game is hovering around 7. Sure he is technically sound, and is a GOOD player, but he's only proved it like 3 seasons. And as for JJ Reddick, the reason why he isnt good is because all he can do is shoot. He cant break down defense or play any defense himself, hes totally one dimensional

[animebrawler]

@awrashoo jj reddick is a decent player. WTF NASH ISN'T THAT GOOD? JUST BECAUSE HE HASN'T GONE TO THE FINALS? stfu your dumb as hell. nash is one of the greatest shooters ever. MJ said that good free throw shooters were good shooters.. nash only missed 10 of 220 free throws this season.

if they call the foul on granger they have to call the on james. their call was right

[ridore9]

they were consistent there wen both players got called for similar fouls....mike brown is a punk and he is a horrible coach...jus admit that both fouls shudnt have been called....he said nothin wen lebron got the same exact call
