basically, the NBA is by far the worst officiated league and its pathetic that a guy throwing games was a highly ranked official. it runs much deeper. David Stern should come clean but can’t because they use the officials to get the results they want. GROSS! College refs are great. This is just a huge scam and anyone who watches the NBA and knows basketball is well aware they miss and create calls throughout every quarter of every game.

It was 670 AM “the score” out of Chicago, but their NBA top stories page seems to be down…

No link. They’re reporting it on the radio here (LA), citing a radio station out of chicago. Sorry if it’s bad info. I’ve been waiting for verification myself…

Looks like the Clips got Deng to sign a 5 year $70 million offer.
The Clippers are going to use their cap space to drive up the price of every restricted FA, only to be left with Zach Randolph by the end of the month.

Link? and hopefully they do drive up all the prices so when teams match, they’ll price themselves out of free agency in ’10.

We can only hope.

Don’t they have working payphones on some city blocks still?

I thought the only reason to keep them around was for dirty refs to talk to their bookies and fix games with their buddies. If they’re not using ‘em, who is??

yeah, I posted about this on my blog last night (click on my name). this is the best link for this, the detailed records they print there for the one game day are pretty damning:

also, keep in mind that Stern knew all of this, and still allowed Foster to be assigned to games 1 and 5 of the Finals this year (along with his lapdog Bavetta), just amazing.
