Not that this has been the sole issue behind their losses, but something has to be done about the shoddy officiating in these games as well as the league.

examples:

Portland game - 6 MEN on the court / No Foul
When it was brought to their attention, the officials stated that they couldn't disallow the basket Portland scored with 6 MEN ON THE COURT!
That would be like allowing a touchdown scored on an offensive penalty in football.


Last night - Player smacks ref on butt and GRABS HIS ARM / no technical foul (which is normally automatic).

I'm sorry, but in EVERY OTHER SPORT, these are automatic penalties, no question, no appeal. But in the NBA, they've suddenly either forgotten what the rules are, want to change the rules on a whim, or only call fouls that will let them win their bets! (Don't say it couldn't happen, since it already has!)

It's getting ridiculous.
