Look at Arenas at the start of the vid before he is blocked, if you want to call travel on LeBron all the time, be fair and watch wiz players, too. Arenas also traveled, he made two steps and then landed on both feet, how is that possible?

i guess it's all the travelling that go unnoticed which makes me wonder why i cant slash into the core of the defense like NBA players do...

A correct T and a few bad calls, but Javie and co. are in control in Phoenix

The Raptors fans have a legit beef with the officiating in their game today.. Howard got away with a tonne. I didn't catch game 3, but I know Howard was in foul trouble.. Today, they were ignoring all the fouls he committed and 4 different goaltends (3 defensively, 1 offensively)

I'm surprised that there are so few complaining about the refs.

Parker, Kapono and Bosh should have gotten free-throws in the fourth for a variety of reasons. None we given.

Dwight also was called for camping in the paint once. Its an improvement, but they still miss the other 99 times he does it.

The officiating was touch-and-go for the Raps. Their at home, give 'em the calls.

NBA Games this post season have been very hard to watch with such poor officiating. They need to do something drastic to improve things in my opinion. Ive noticed just horrible call after horrible call in just about every game.

Its very frustrating when certain players tend to get calls because of who they are instead of the play. Its just piss poor on the NBAs behalf and leads more and more people to question the NBAs credibility and if every ref is pulling a Timmy D with this whole thing rigged.

Take your series loss like a man, the officiating was horrible on both sides of the ball in the nugget-laker game.

From the games I've watched, it seems the refs are definitely giving the benefit to the more aggressive team and/or player. If a guy takes it to the rim hard trying to score, he's getting calls whether he gets touched or not. If a guy deliberately tries to bail himself out by trying to draw a foul, the refs aren't helping him--they're letting it play out. That's a huge problem for teams that don't move well off the ball, and you'll notice fans of those teams (HOU, DEN, ORL at times) do a lot of complaining.

It's like complaining about the heat in Arizona. It's a mute point, the officiating continues to blow some of the calls that are being made are just plain BAD. I'm not saying i could do any better, but these ticky tack touch fouls have got to stop, especially in the playoffs.

I've noticed it always seems to be the opposing team that gets the benefit of calls. Might this be due to perspective? I really think they are trying to ignore some of the obvious flops which is good, but also to Icness' point, ref's do seem to give advantage to the aggressors, which in itself at least is consistent.

What does perspective have to do with the subject? Let's not derail this core of the argument here. Video evidence shows blatant offenses committed by players who have never been punished for it and they just so happen to be NBA Glamor Boys.

See on one hand, some of you guys like being taken for morons. Some of us don't. Some of us pay good money to see these teams play and expect a level field of officiating as well as suspension matters.

I think it's funny, when at times, they've shown the refs preparing to leave the court at half-time, and they all grab their glossy silver jackets off the sideline counter, and walk back to the locker room together. They all like, "we run this damn game", when doing all that at half-time.

I want one of those ref jackets for the cooler spring and cooler summer rainy days.
