                                Yeah, not sure why he needed that wheel chair. It's a pet peeve of mine when people get injured and drop the the floor. If it's not a lower body injury, or something that keeps you from standing... walk off the court.

                                I'm OK with them being on the ground for a while to get some medical attention, but GD get off the floor and to the bench.

                                I'm bringing this back up because of what happened last night in the Nuggs/Thunder game.
Melo tries to drive against Durant and basically gets knocked out, called for a travel. And while he is laying there obviously not getting up, the refs inbound the ball and let play begin/continue. The Thunder try to throw a long pass but it get's picked off and Denver comes back down the floor. ALL OF THIS WHILE MELO IS LAYING ON THE FLOOR IN THE PAINT. The only reason play was stopped after Denver got the ball back was because JR Smith got called for a travel and the training staff was already running onto the floor.

                                Yeah, he was not moving at all and they just let the play go on.

                                And it wasn't like no one saw him. One of the other Denver players was standing over top of him when they put the ball back in play. The NBA officials are a complete joke. I usually don't care about the missed travels and bad calls and what not; but when a player is in trouble of getting even more seriously injured than he is, you HAVE to stop play. This was a joke. You could even tell Melo was out of it when he came back in to play.

                                Very surprised by that. I'd like to see/hear the refs reasoning for that.

                                Refs suck in all sports.
This was absolutely ridiculous.. Melo supposedly black out after getting hit in the head and falling to the court.

                                I wonder what Player X (aka tool bag) thinks about this.

                                Actually, I think player X is Melo.  Notice, he was the only "big superstar" not really named.
I mean, you have Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Durant, and CP3? But no Melo? hmmm..

                                It's probably Arenas. He's got nothing but time now-a-days.

                                I'm thinking him or Terry. Have you heard Terry during interviews. He talks like a fag. I can definitely see him calling refs Sir and all that nonsense. I can see him having a beef with Wade getting calls. Arenas has wrote a lot on his blogs before. Maybe he didn't wanna be known since he's had bigger things going on lately.

                                If it's Terry do you think he'd be called an unnamed superstar?  LOL, I mean maybe that was self proclaimed so I agree, it could be Terry too.
Either way, whoever it is (it could be LeBron, I'd still feel this way), they need to move onto the WNBA because they have a pussy.
