Controversy or Choke?

Last night the Denver Nuggets took a 3-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks with a 106-105 win. Nuggets star Carmello Anthony hit a three pointer at the end of the game when Antoine Wright tried to foul him which won the game for Denver. After the game the NBA apologized for the missed call. The question is was it a missed call?

The Mavericks could have avoided this by telling the ref they planned on fouling. That way the referees are expecting it and the call is made. Antoine Wright should also learn to not throw his arms in the air like he didn't foul if your trying to get a foul called. You can blame the refs all you want. The Mavericks are the one's who deserve the blame. I found a quote on ESPN that sums last night's situation up perfect. Antoine Wright only wanted the foul after the 3 got made; otherwise he'd have argued he didn't foul.

That's why he threw his arms in the air like he didn't foul. Then once the shot was made he argued. On top of that Mark Cuban proved once again he is the most classless owner in any sport. NBA needs to throw a fine his way and to Josh Howard as well for him arguing after the game. It's not the NBA's fault the Dallas Mavericks put together great teams every year and then come playoffs they choke. Face it Mark Cuban, your Mavericks are choke artists. Don't blame the refs for your team giving up a lead with under a minute.

The Mavericks will be lucky to win a game in this series. I expect the Nuggets to end it in 4 or 5 games.
