Bamboozled by Basketball Officials
In Game 6 of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics playoff series, Dick Bavetta, Joe DeRosa, and Joe Forte won, 74-69. The three teams return to Boston for a final showdown in Boston.
I fully realize MLB umpires make their fair share of horrific calls, but watching NBA referees in action is akin to catching your local butcher placing his thumb on the scale. The officials obviously care more about following the dicta of David Stern than calling the game in front of them.
