    The saddest thing is that the NBA doesn't see it as a problem so they have no intention of fixing it.

    Does anyone really think that Bruce Bowen committed zero fouls last night? Does anyone really believe the Spurs committed fewer fouls than the Rockets at a Rockets home game?

    Bowen kicks people, it is recorded and played on the net and he has never been suspended for a single game. I might be wrong about this but if I am let me know. Cause it sure seems like the Spurs are +5 to +10 every game on officiating calls. :mad:

    Just watched parts of the game I recorded and saw Duncan intentionally side step and elbow into Shane to knock him down, freeing Manu for an open corner shot. Ref was standing right in front of the play and did not move nor blow his whistle. Shane and Yao went after the ref complaining but to no avail.

    I am coming to the opinion the refs spend more time in the casinos and betting parlors than even last summer's investigation allowed for, and that Stern forgave so easily.
