Many say that to be an NBA official is the pinnacle of officiating, they are the best in the game. Then how does Salvatore miss that call??? Barry gets rebound, Salvatore is lead, becomes new trail, nobody hounding Barry after the rebound, yet doesn't see Finley out of bounds????
I cannot watch the NBA, it is not basketball. It is entertainment. When the best officials in the world continually allow 3-5 steps just to allow a spectacular dunk, that alone tells me that the rules of basketball (according to Dr. Naismith) are second in priority, at best.
The 2004 Olympic games proved to me that the best basketball is played outside of the US and that the best officials are not in the NBA.
