I absolutely agree...one of the many reasons why i stopped supporting the NBA for some time was the terrible officiating. I can understand that bad calls will be made from time to time...but recent officiating, in particular during the playoffs and now, finals, have been far too sensitive and inconsistent towards both teams.

No matter how much they try to dress it up, basketball started in the streets and majority of players will always play with that mentality. Players are going to get extra physical in the post-season...they've earned the right and i believe should be allowed to a certain measure...[/rant]

Anybody got any good jabs for refs when at a game? Couple of my favs:
- HEY REF, GET OFF YOUR KNEES, YOU'RE BLOWING THE GAME!
- HEY REF, WHY DON'T YOU BEND OVER AND USE YOUR GOOD EYE!
