NBA Playoffs

How apparent is the impact of refereeing in the NBA? Not since the Kings/Lakers playoffs in 2003 have I seen a playoff series more slanted by the officials than the Celtics/Cavs.

How is it that the Celtics "Big 3" had three fouls each....at the end of the first half in game 2, while the Cavs starters had no more than 1 each? Could the refs try any harder to keep the game close? The final line on the game was Cavs -6 with the total at 192. Isn't it ironic that they couldn't keep the game close to the line, but the total came in at 190?

The total should have been a push but the Cavs missed a late jumper with time winding down.

Can you not smell the stench of crooked NBA officials...only one has been caught thus far but looking at the games in these playoffs, can you honestly tell me they don't supplement their income by making calls one way or the other?

At Gameday Consultants we follow who is officiating each game very closely. It is often times overlooked by the average sports handicapper, but how can you overlook the only people who can control the fate of a game with the blow of a whistle?
