This only worries me because I know of the affection (lust) that you have for the great Captain.
Yup same here, I haven't watched this much basketball since the lakers and sixera finals 10 years ago. That series has come in 2nd to worst officiating behind this series.
And the nba really wonders why the nfl is more entertaining?
They should put a handle on the ball and outlaw dribbling.Since when did palming/turning the ball over in your hand on the dribble no longer become traveling? And is it 5 or 6+ steps now before traveling is called? Pro Basketball is a joke.
Complete with rubber bands in the beard and all...

Only Capt. Lou can get away with wearing a tshirt with his own picture on it lol...
Why must everyone constantly ***** about the officiating of these finals games? I am just as upset as everyone else that OKC is down 3 games to 1 but it is not only the ref's problems that they are down in the series. I guess i am just old school and don't put all accountability on the officiating crews in sports. With that being said yes in every sport every year they are bound to make a few mistakes but to blame them for the whole thing is ludicrous and makes us look like a bunch of whine bag dumb asses. IF it is truly their fault don't you think by now there would be stories in mainstream media like there is for every other sport when that happens? Don't you think that the league and officiating staffs would issue statements and apologies like in every other sport? Come on man!
I see a lot of people saying the refs bias wouldn't matter if the Thunder were playing the way they know how to play. That said, the bias is there and it's obvious. When refs blow a few calls here and there, it's to be expected. When they consistently blow them in one direction, it's an issue. It's not like the Thunder play dirty, yet the foul stats would suggest otherwise. As for the MSM stories, you must not be looking very hard:

Honestly? I blame Stern. I hate to say it, but controversy fuels ratings. Controversy keeps the NBA on everyone's mind. Ever heard the phrase "There's no such thing as bad publicity"? Everyone knows Stern has issues and this is one of them. He's been there WAY too long and I think what he's doing is bad for the sport. JMO, YMMV
Bleacher Report and Huffington are not very credible sources IMHO but to each their own. I do agree with you on Stern though. He is pretty much despicable and needs to be ousted. I doubt it will happen anytime soon though.
