Well, the play by Miller was a shove with both hands.

I'm not so sure about the one hand push by Jordan on Russell. I'd probably pass on that one. Call it and Jackson wants to know why a foul wasn't called on Russell for having his hands all over Jordan.

I remember the Miller play it was in front of everyone, but on the Pacers' floor. As for MJ's shove, I'm a big fan of MJ and since I've beeen officiating I look at that play differently. Dick Bavetta had a good look at the play and should of called player control only because it was directly in front of him.

Now from a b-ball standpoint, I would prefer MJ take a 19 foot jumper rather than penetrate to the goal for an almost certain foul and the possible free-throw. Problem with that is, HE is the best Hooper to date and given any advantage he would captalize on it.

NBA officiating is tough! Before you know it, they will do away with the refs and allow the players to make their own calls for real entertainment!!
