I'd like to know where Marc Davis is from. Atlanta maybe?

Some of that is normal since the Celtics are the team most of us watch with intensity.  It's pretty normal not to notice as many bad calls against other teams.  It's a much deeper problem though in my opinion.  Do you not have a problem with all the stoppages?  Including stoppages on broken plays that are now resolved by a whistle when not long ago a scrum was alowed to evolve longer and there were some really excited broken plays with multiple possessions/steals in a matter of seconds or within say a minute?

This.

Even when I am watching non-Celtics match ups, the officiating bothers me. Anytime someone drives to the paint they just whistle automatically and point at the closest player. I'm sorry, but if a player is not moving with their hands up, they SHOULD NOT BE WHISTLED FOR THE CONTACT. Either no call, or an offensive foul. That's the one that bothers me the most (along with Durant and Wade's favorite trick of swooping their arms through the defender's arms to draw the foul)

Gotta love how everyone races to point out the letter of the law when it'll negatively affect the Celtics. I seem to remember Game 2 of the Boston-Indiana series in 2004-05 when JO (then playing for the Pacers) came up from behind the ref, grabbed his arm and turned him around. No technical, no ejection, no suspension. Where was David Stern then? Where was the media then? What a corrupt, scumbag of a commissioner. And I hate to say this, but how come more Celtic fans are siding against Rondo now than they did against JO in 04-05? Honestly, if I didn't love the Celtics as much as I did, I really wouldn't watch another NBA game until Stern is gone.



That sterling paragon of virtue, O'Neal had just won a lawsuit against the league to reduce his suspension.  I saw that game and the league was clearly petrified to call anything on O'Neal.  He got Jordan / messiah treatment from the league the rest of the 04 season.

Pretty sad when the NBA Analysts are all speaking out on the incompetence of the officials.

Something needs to be done.

Is that what steven i smith is? 

Thanks for the clarification.

Good video of that OT game Marc Davis called at Boston April 11th. A game that was one of the worst officiated games I've seen in quite some time.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N806wOuatPY&feature=player_embedded#!

Felger and Mazz questioning as to why the league would assign Davis to officiate a C's game with the way this one was called. I would say it's probably similar to Joey Crawford being assigned to a Tim Duncan/Spurs game.

What an amazing video. That guy is a knucklehead.

the more who speak out about nba officiating the better.  Everyone is noticing finally.  thank god.

But absolutely nothing is going to change. It would take a league wide push to change refereeing and that would mean really bad press for the league. This has been going on for years and nothing has happened. Everyone will forget this incident in a week; except us.

There needs to be a way to toss the turd refs out of the system.  If they make too many STUPID calls then THEY should be tossed out .... WITH NO HUMAN ELEMENT CONSIDERED....just like they treated Rondo

The OWNERS can do something and GM's should, they should go to bat for their players WHEN the PLAYER is in the right.

There is just to much UNFAIR and WRONG calls all the time.

Maybe the owners willman up and hang the pressure on Stern and his cronies.

If the players are not allowed to play the game and the ref control the out come then the game is NO LONGER a sport.

If you and I were this bad at our jobs we would not have jobs.   The are not even good like baseball or NFL refs.  They claim they are graded after each game but I can't see it.   Stern has always ran a dirty ship in my book.

I think it is true that they are graded after every game. The problem is...there is no consequence for failing. They just get retrained or something and sent out again.

Who grading them?

I think it is a little more than a token gesture.   The are the most incompetant refs in sports.   I trust a WWE ref more.

WWE refs call it right down the middle....until they get smashed with a steel chair or clotheslined accidentally and wake up just in time to give a 3 count for the bad guy.

baseball can be investigated by CONGRESS on steroid use

WHY NOT? Basketball officiating already has a fixing scandal and I've seen way to many questionable calls since the 90's not to think something isn't on the up & up
(this is not just celtics but many different teams)

I guess I'm in the minority because I always loved Stephen A.  Thanks, Stephen A, for calling out the refs!
