Nobody mentions the other side.

Do you honestly think that anyone here would actually mention the "other" side"? There is NO damn other side. Did you really expect the committed, dedicated officials that post here to tell you that NBA officials- who are probably as good a group of professional officials that you will find- would deliberately set out to screw a particular team? News Flash:...officials are human. They will make mistakes. NBA officials however will NEVER make a bad call on purpose due to a bias against a particular team or player. If there was ever even a hint of one doing so, they would be off a series in a flash.

Losing teams have been blaming the officials for years- in all sports. It's easier than admitting that the other team might be a l'il better or that you just didn't play very well. Why should the Pistons be any different? Pistons fans think the officials are horrible and biased when their team loses; SA fans think the officials did a great job in the exact same game. Just reverse those sentiments when the Pistons win and SA loses. That's why we NEVER take fans seriously.They care who wins. We don't.
