Have you ever listened to Donaghy talk about that shit? Its always kinda sketchy to me anyways. I dont put it PAST the league. But he always says that shit was "implied". Not that they ever received direct orders to extend a series. I dunno, I was just listening to an interview with him on the radio the other day. And he could never give a strait answer about them being TOLD to extend a series or fix a game. It was always that his bosses hinted at it lol.

pretty sure i heard him in an interview say specifically that Dick Bavetta was Stern's "go to" ref & made some bullshit calls in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers & Kings because the Lakers were going to draw much bigger ratings.
it's all pretty ridiculous, the NBA is so corrupt to begin with; you got game rules like traveling, carrying, etc. & the refs call them when they feel like it, because one of the rules is violated on just about every possesion.

true. But you can say the same for holding and pass interference in football. Holding happens on every single play, and pass interference can be called 20 times a game...and you could justify it lol. Imagine watching a game where they called traveling every time it actually happened lol.

true that, but it seems like the refs just do whatever they feel like, things are a foul sometimes & then they "let them play" at other times.
it's so stupid. :rant:

I think the refs in basketball...more then any other sport in America, are under a ton of pressure. They have to balance out calling the game effectively...and keeping the action exciting. The nature of basketball...is that fans and cameras can see EVERYTHING. You can see a defenders middle finger slap a bead of sweat off of a shooters arm with replay. And in Basketball with the smaller court its so easy for cameramen to get those close up shots which they replay over and over to show referee mistakes. Its easy for us as fans...watching on tv to judge. When youre on that court tho, its GOTTA be tough. Players are so big on this tiny court...bodies bumping into eachother on every play....they COULD truly call a foul on every single possession. But then fans would be pissed cus it would be boring. If they decide to let them play more....the players and coaches complain. And then the fans complain as well. One thing ive noticed over the years....fans complain no matter WHAT the refs do. Unless...they call a foul on the team that YOUR team is playing against. If they do that...THEN, they are doing a good job lol.
