-Howard mocked the officials and got told to knock it off..Got no call.
-Pierce beraded the officials for a trip and a half down the court before getting T'd up.
-If any official dared called a T on the messiah, the official would be banished from the league.
The officials clearly are being instructed to keep marquee players on the court regardless of what is happening....Unless....
I guess profanity is the only way for a marquee player to be ejected.
I thought the new "respect for officials" directive that came from Stern this off-season was going to make for evenly called games....Since NOBODY was going to argue with the officials...LOL.
Silly me
