I think generally the best teams end up winning regardless but ever since the '02 Kings/Lakers series I haven't been able to take NBA officiating seriously. I'm not even saying that I felt the Kings were better, they certainly had their chances in game 7 and blew it but what happened in game 6 was something that you never forget.. so blatant.

They followed that up with a lot of questionable shyt in the Mavs/Heat finals in '06. There's other examples. Officiating could be improved in all sports but the NBA is the worst. I don't believe it's total incompetence. They know what they're doing...

With that said, I grew up loving the NBA so it's not like I'm ever going to stop watching. I just realize that what I'm watching sometimes is closer to WWE entertainment than sport.

Remember they don't have to make a team win. They just have to cover the spread
