The NBA is trying to kill it's fan base..watching football today..what impact or control do the refs have.....none..! They just call it as it is, even review it so it is purely factual. NBA refs, purely interpretation...no facts at all, no consistancy, FAVORITISM, control....Championship Wrestling...it is getting to be the same.... The only thing kobe and the lakers DID'T do to the Celtics last year was hit them with a chair, or rub salt in their eyes......did you see any review of that....they threw out the actual video of kobe stepping under perks leg....no fine or anything for artest hitting rondo in the face = 10 stitches, then ray allen in the thigh.......all with a seal of approval from the league......how's that.
