Props to JVG for calling out the officials on the delay of game technical too. Mike Breen said "it's in the rules", JVG responded with "yeah, so is traveling and carrying the ball".

Kudos for him saying it though.   The fact they took it down shows something fishy is going on.

It is not surprising the video was deleted. The NBA flexed their muscle again. Better to eliminate the video than deal with the problem.

Yup, ESPN is not allowed to be critical of the NBA - especially when it comes to crooked officiating.

I hate the Heat, and even more so I hate the NBA's protection of the Heat. The Heat shouldn't need bogus technical fouls to help them take control of the game.  >:(

Just got on the site. The first few sentences of this article hit things on the head. Who do these refs (and the league, for that matter) think they are? Their families are the only ones in the world who are tuning into the game to watch them, yet they evidently thought they were the show.

It makes me laugh and sick at the same time when they give t's because they were "shown up". How can the least important people on the floor be shown up? Make better calls and you don't get shown up. Arrogance abounds and the refs continue to be their own worst enemies.

There is always a conflict of interests when a sports "news network" has contracts with leagues to show games.

Agreed, it seems to get worse every year. The refs feel more and more that they own the league and each game. No one pays to see zebras haha

Its just funny the guy cant even discuss what he thought was wrong with the officiating (which was obviously terrible) without the vid needing to be taken down. Glad its on youtube/was discussed in articles before it was removed

Yeah, even though JVG is clearly not a huge fan of the Celtics, I think he's probably the funniest commentator working right now.

Can we trade Shaq for JVG on Inside the NBA?

I tried posting on this nba blog:

http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2012/05/29/rondo-talk-doesnt-faze-heat/#comment-279829

and my first comment was deleted. I did not say any profanity. Just typed in that the NBA is looking like a conspiracy and that Game 1 was rigged to favor James. And that when will the NBA call Lebron for travelling and Wade for palming the ball.

My comment was deleted.

Sheesh, i guess stern doesnt want to hear any bad comments on his anointed gorilla.

But if you question the integrity of the league, you obviously wear a tinfoil hat ::)
