You clowns cry entirely too much about the refs. If ya'll feel so strongly that the refs have that much impact on the outcome of games then you dudes truly are pathetic...

have you ever watched a baseball game? it's pretty much a given that every umpire has a different strike zone. everyone knows that there is holding on every play in football, but it's a crapshoot on when its called. have you ever watched a duke home game? the foul disparity in those games are ridiculous. the nba isn't the only league with officiating issues. people are always going to complain about officiating when they lose because it's the only factor they can't controlOriginally Posted by Jay02

I know, this is revolutionary thinking.
Ok, but to those who think the NBA is fishy, they're supposed to just turn it off even though they enjoy basketball? There is ALOT of people who think the NBA is rigged. One of the referees spent jail time for participating in rigged games, and told the public the league is rigged, and that it has been. There are videos of Stern fixing drafts. Now if you want to ignore all that cool. But its not unreasonable for anyone to think its rigged given what has happened, especially when questionable @!%+ consistently occurs like Paul Pierce being ejected for trash talking today.
I think its very reasonable for people to express their frustrations with this league. And I think its reasonable for people to be frustrated. But you cant just tell someone who enjoys watching basketball to stop watching it. There's only one Professional sports league that gets hated on for poor quality and thats the NBA. The ONLY league. Not football, not baseball, not hockey, not college basketball. How about the league just gets cleaned up instead of telling basketball enthusiasts to stop watching basketball. Rigged or not, this isnt good basketball. Thats because of Stern. And thats whats unfair. I could give a @%%* if its the federal law or a basketball league. I like basketball.

Are there reputations and home court advantages? Duh. Read Scorecasting... they statistically figured out that refs are human beings not immune to factors such as fan harassment and crowd noise. Refs are not infallible and the longer people look through heavily biased lenses, the longer people will fail to realize this.
