In my honest and humble opinion, this is one of the biggest problems in officiating. The call was wrong and to say anything else means you must have watched a different broadcast than the rest of us. It wasn't something they showed over and over again because it was clearly a wrong call. Back to the biggest problem: what is so wrong with being wrong? Some are saying the officiating is horrible in the NBA this post-season. I have talked to people close to the game who say they are being consistent, but everyone misses plays. I was told we could watch a game and they would tell me what the official was looking for on that particular play. That is just a bunch of semantics!
It just isn't in the NBA - I know some officials who always say they had a good/great game. It just doesn't happen that way.
The bottom line: there have been more missed plays in the NBA this post-season which leads the casual fan (this has been all my nephew has been saying) to say the officiating is horrible. Also, the commercials with the Lakers/Cavs/Kobe/LeBron don't help people believe otherwise. Stern comes off looking like the muppet master.
