i have paid $1600 for League pass over the last 8 years, I attend 20+ NBA games a year paying for beer, parking, food, etc. I watch hundreds of games a year and solicit NBA sponsors -
I believe I am due an explanation for the sorry excuse for officiating the league is putting out right now. It has never been this bad and its getting worse. One can only point to leadership when an enterprise is failing - Stern, you are failing with a capitol F.

Scott Wall ruined the whole game last night for Rox vs. Kings... the rox should have won but there were several no calls or offensive fouls that were complete bullsh**t not to mention he ejected Brad Miller last night for nothing he got the first tech for screaming at him and was calmly walking with Wall talking then got tossed. This was by far the worst game i've seen Scott Wall just earned a 1st class induction into the Referee Hall of Shame right next to Violet Palmer and Tim Donaghy

He definitely didn't beat the buzzer, but the clock started early. I doubt he would have gotten it off in time anyways. His hand was on the ball well after the light went off. This is where Toronto fans should be whining.

This is where Toronto fans should be whining but they want to blame Atlanta for them blowing a huge lead because they can't defend or rebound. And Josh Smith outplayed Chris Bosh.
if derek fisher can catch the ball turn around and take a jumper why cant Terrance catch the ball and dunk it on an alley when almost .2 seconds were off the clock when he first touched the ball

Eric Lewis screwed us by starting the clock early.
Sam Mitchell protested that the clock got started early but was ignored. The shot was good otherwise and would have won us the game.
After all was said and done and the players had a chance to go back to the locker room Al Horford pronounced that he tipped the ball and this is why the clock was started early. The reply clearly shows that he did not.
Eric Lewis and the league are now running with that story to save themselves the embarrassment.
At no point did any official explain to Sam Mitchell that the ball was tipped during the moments of controversy. NO ONE EVEN MENTIONED A TIP. Nor did Al come out and say he tipped it the way players usually do to make sure their side of the story get considered during a dispute.
The officiating is realy going down the toilet, and I agree with several posters before me, the blame should be placed from the top down.
As for Atlanta playing great in that game, not a single Raptor fan is disputing that.
