    I'm so glad that there is a vote from ESPN. I need more places to voice my anger!

    So far the big majority are on JVG's side. Take that Emporer Stern!

    95% saying the league officiates differently for different players (in reference to "star calls", etc.)

    Wow, that's damning. It's early in that poll, but so far it's a landslide in favor of Van Gundy.

    What pisses me off the most is just not the Rockets getting the bad calls. If you look at all the series in the playoffs the ref's are doing a horrible job IMO. I even feel that it was inappropriate for the league to fine Mark Cuban $500,000 a few years ago. Reggie Miller is right, David Stern has a Napoleanoic complex. This has been happening to Shaq for years and unfortunately we are feeling it now. Either way it needs to be corrected. Officials should be scrutinized for the "Integrity" of the game. David Stern needs to learn the same humblness that of his counter part in the NFL.

    I voted. Stern's an ahole. No way he should threaten to banish Van Gundy. The day that happens is the day I say goodbye to the NBA for a very long time.

    Message to Stern - we live in a democracy where freedom of speech rules. I think it's time you find a new line of work - maybe in North Korea or Iran.
