I have the sick disgusted feeling in the pit of my stomach, I was literally yelling at the top of my lungs later on when a foul was called on the suns if there was any type of skin-on-skin contact.
This is without a doubt, by and far, the WORST most absolute VOMIT INDUCINGLY horrid freakshow officiating job I have ever had the displearsure of getting uncontrollable bowl movements/vomit reflexes of disgust from in my life.
I mean if your are going to call a game like they did (any type of contact near or in the paint = foul), then you at least do a bad job of being a referee but do it FAIRLY. I was ready to buy a gun when I watched them nearly mug James Jones in the paint (anyone here remember that play I think it was the 2nd overtime) and not a call from these refs which seemed so adamant at calling any type of contact in the paint. It was hilarious because the knicks players kind of paused for a second expecting a call against them from the skittish worst refs in history but snapped out of it and resumed moving the ball upcourt when they realized it was a no call.
You cannot officiate games like that, there will be contact inside the paint it is PART OF THE GAME OF BASKETBALL. If the refs were to call it like this Shaq would single handedly be able to beat the likes of every team in the nba via foul power alone.
Ref 1: "Ok shaq is going up for the shot"
Ref 2: "WAIT, DID YOU SEE THAT AS HE SHOT THE PLAYER TOUCHED HIS JERSEY"
Ref 1: *Whistle*
BS
* EDIT Oh and does anybody remember that technical foul on Raja Bell because he supposedly went against an invisible written rule in the nba that states "Thou shalt not cross thine half court line if thy hath commited a foul" Even the knicks commentators where trying to figure out why the technical was called.
