Just tuned in to find Bill Walton and some other "agreeable" clown (play-by-play announcer) once again demonstrate their rules ignorance.
(I should know better than to be watching this, but.... I am )

Dallas @ Milw, 2:01 left in 2nd Qtr.

Ray Allen intitiates a drive on Steve Nash. As Allan in passing Nash. Nash throws his leg out and trips Allen and the official (Joe Forte) calls a Charge. The other official is indicating a block.

Forte stands strong on his call and then T's Allen for his objections.

Here is what REALLY burns me:
Walton is babbling on how great a call Forte has made as ESPN goes to commercial.

After the commercial, Aldridge (sideline reporter) acknowledges that Forte's call was not as solid as Walton has "sold it".

Walton just gets louder with his praise for Forte.

I need to stop watching this thing they call basketball (NBA), and realize it is strictly entertainment.
