I have read a couple of the replys, and comments at this site. I was hoping to find some honest, object review of the officiating in the kings-lakers series, and game 6 in particular.

Unfortunately it seems "officials" are much like what police used to be, in that they seem to be protecting their own. A common theme seems to be when a fan questions something, the response is "you should put a whistle on, you should deal with the pressure, etc....."

Well, I guess that means that none of you ever complain about a rude doctor, a poorly served meal, being ripped off at the car dealer, etc.... unless of course you have all done those jobs before. Must be nice going through life knowing that everyone is doing their job right, unless of course you previously did the job, then you have the right to complain or question. Paying $50 for a ticket, and financially supporting the sport that pays the salaries of the officials does not give us that right. I understand.

A fan can appreciate that calling a game of this magnitude can be difficult, however game 6 was not just poorly called, it was called poorly in a biased fashion. The number of mistakes favored one side significantly more than the other.

I am not a tree hugger, but I am glad to see that Nader is keeping the focus on this issue.
