David Stern the overlord of the NBA is in some trouble here
He thinks he can make this go away, but it won’t. I am one of the few who love watching NBA games, and if Stern thinks he can keep casual fans watching despite this scandal he is wrong.

Youtube..
Donaghy and you’ll find a couple nice montages of odd calls…one whole set devoted to the Phoenix-SA game 3, which Bill Simmons called “the most atrociously refereed game in history.” Not that I’m a Simmons fan, but he had zero allegiance and still could not watch the game.
The problem with basketball is how many different things are involved. Take the Sacramento-LA series when the Kings hit their prime…I think it was game 5 or 6 that was the absolute WORST called game I have ever seen. Even the announcers were speechless at times. But, at the same time, Peja was throwing up airballs and the Kings missed crucial free throws down the stretch. It’s just too difficult to look at a game and say it was rigged because refs blow calls all the time.

As for the issue itself...
and I’m stating an opinion I’ve heard elsewhere, but the officials should be run by a separate organization, and not directly run by Stern and the NBA. Great read on this whole scandal on ESPN…George Karl was interviewed and it’s a really great article on a coach’s take. Can’t find the link, but it’s worth your time if you’re interested.
