I wouldn't waste my time as the commisioner believes there is nothing wrong with the refs in the NBA. I gaurantee I will come on this forum this weekend and when calls are going for the Celtics on their home court, you will be sitting here complaining about how bad the officiating is.
And what did you just prove....? That the game balances itself out, the celtics will get calls in TD Garden. They always do.[QUOTE="xscrapzx"][QUOTE="Jagged3dge"][QUOTE="xscrapzx"] Superstars should not get the calls.

It seems to me that more people here care about superstars than the actual game of basketball itself. I don't see a problem with a 76ers-Pacers ECF, but the fact there are hardly any big names on both teams would make some people here support ref bias for superstar teams.

All this is ridiculous.
The Celtics handed the game to the Heat.
They had a big lead and blew it. Lebron and Wade couldn't seal the deal in regulation and Celtics didn't get the rebound to potentially get the last shot of the game.
Yeah there was a blown call on Rondo but that happens ALL THE TIME. And that Garnett Wade collision was clearly a foul and then Wade pushed off with his leg.
Celtics had their chances and blew it.

Wouldn't be the first time a playoff game was rigged in one team's favor. Lebron and Wade can't foul out of a playoff game because the NBA wants them on the court. I'm sure they'd love to see them beat the spurs as well.

I do agree with the superstar catering in that they are giving the benefit of the doubt on a lot of calls because of what they do on the court and if they aren't able to do what they usually do then there must have been something that prohibited them from doing so, therefore a foul is called. The problem with that is it is getting out of hand. I mean 24 free throws for one player is ridiculous. That is more than half than what all of the Celtics had combined last night and the Celtics were agressive on top of that. My whole point it was a joke and the officiating is terrible and need to tone it down a bit with some of the superstars and the calls they get.
