Okay, here is a better analogy. You take the car to have the oil changed. After the oil is changed, as you are driving away, you notice a trail of oil leaking out of your car. Do you have to be a mechanic to know there is something wrong? Heck, even without being a mechanic you might be able to look inside and tell the oil filter is not seated correctly, or that the drain plug is not installed. I don't need a mechanic to figure that part out.

If you are so sure there is no bias in the league, then do this exercise. Watch the tapes for this series, calculate how many times the three second rule could have been called in the game against each team. Compare the number for the lakers and the number for the kings, and then compare it to the number of times it was actually called. The ratio should be similar. If there is a significant difference, then there is a bias.

That would be an objective way of measuring whether or not there is bias towards a team, or a player. The rule is the rule, regardless of the player or the team, right? All you need is a stopwatch and a tape of the game.
