NBA referees
Posted June 10th, 2007 by Ron
Shouldn't the NBA Finals have the elite of the elite as the referees?
There is no bigger stage, yet all of the referees in this final look like they knew Dr. Naismith personally.
If the best the NBA can do is have three men pushing retirement calling their elite games, then the poor calls that they get is what they deserve.

Yes, if not one of the THREE refs saw or chose to call Tony Parker dancing his way to the basket—without dribbling, mind you—during the Cavs rally, they should all be fired. What are they watching? The ball, I hope. And it was being CARRIED for not one, but two (and possibly THREE) extra steps beyond what players already get away with—which is travelling in any other sane game.
It would've been nice to see if the Cavs could close it to five or six pts., but that indefensible non-call by the refs totally altered the game at that point.
