Sooo tired of people complaining about the Refs in the Bulls series, Rose deserved EVERY foul he got in that game. A team that has the games best slasher at home vs a team with a losing record thats defensive plan is to hack the small guy until he doesn't want to go to the hoop is going to get a lot of free throws.

Great series, too bad the first game was marred by obscene discrepencies in FTA (Rose takes what, 21? 23?) while Collison for the Pacers couldn't buy a call inside.
A videos of every foul called on Rose in Game 1 by quarter. excuse the bad quality...

1st quarter:
first foul - mcroberts or foster? (white big who slides from under the hoop area) just kinda slide over into his path, not a horrible foul but i believe the right call. he didnt have his feet really set and that was a theme here
second foul - no need to explain, hacks on the arms

2nd quarter:
first foul: no doubt
second foul: aj price grabs him as he goes by, no doubt.
third foul: id like a replay or something but to me it seems like a clear rake across the arms

3rd quarter:
first foul: collison from behind, pretty clear hack
second foul: this one imo is questionable, i would towards the foul because of when hibbert jumps, and how he jumps into his body. i could see this as a non call tho.
third foul: shuffling feet, no question.

4th quarter:
first foul: no question
second foul: hibbert clearly moving no doubt
third not shown: intentional foul to end game
overall: maybe 1 of the fouls called could have been a no call, but other than that.....where exactly is the conspiracy? i understand other calls may have been bad, but lets not act like rose is getting special d-whistle treatment because hes not, he attacked relentlessly and the pacers made a point of fouling.
