I'm sure that Stern will not be pleased with this.  Fortunately he won't be able to get them to pull it like he did to Steve A. Smith's rant on espn.

Man, good find there (TP). I knew Tim Donaghy is American Hero just like Oliver North.

It's refreshing to hear someone tell it like it is.  Unlike most of the play-by-play guys & commentators who are under Stern's watchful eye.  They are like Al Jazeera. 

Mike Breen is probably the worst one of the lot.

Everything he says is very believable and isn't really surprising.

Why would the NBA want to be like ..  NASCAR and Pro Wrestling ?

Becasue of TV money and greedy owners and NBA league officals of course.

I like the comparison to Pro Wrestling.  David Stern stars as Vince McMahon.

I expected him to come out with more definitive statements about the officiating.  he didn't call any of the refs into question, just stated they were doing what they interpreted the league told them to do.

only for the Celtics.  NBA won't care if the officiating is just as bad in game 2.

well, what i mean is tempers could flare up big time. Somebody just might get enough and when wade tries to drive the lane somebody could choke slam him or knock him in the head especially if the game is lost already anyway. just sayin'.
