It is a pretty sad situation, but one we knew was coming considering the money that is out there. I guess, at the end of the day, the only thing we can do is officiate the game straight down the middle regardless of who the star player is supposed to be on any given night.
I also think Len Elmore says some things that are right on point.
I had the pleasure of officiating one of these matchups, although it wasn't on national TV - it was on local cable. My only regret is one player should have received a technical foul for taunting (I didn't see it during the game, I saw it on the video) and Tywon Lawson was called for a phantom foul that put Kevin Durant at the line for three shots.
