Are the refs ruining the NBA Finals?

They were downright awful in game 1. Pitiful in game 2. And pretty bad again tonight...or is it all just what the league and David Stern is telling them to do?

    Game 2 was horrible tonight due to bad officiating. As a fan of the NBA, I believe the refs need to do better. It seemed as if many of the foul calls were called late and the Lakers couldn't draw any files because the refs were not calling them. No, Boston should not have won... Thanks refs for rigging a series. The Lakers came back from the huge free throw disparity. Any true fan of basketball must be disappointed. For all the Boston fans that see this, take a step outside of your bubble and assess the situation. Do you really want a ring handed to you? It completely devalues what it means to be the NBA Champion.

    Yes especially if they keep falling for obvious flops.

    Both teams have their share of floppers, although one more than the other.

    Imagine having the ability to review the video for contested last touches but not be able to call a foul if they saw one on the tape.

    I agree with one answerer though, this was a much better officiated game in the sense that they allowed the players to play more, but they can still do a better job.

    Game 1 was understandable, this is a heated rivalry, you don't want it to get out of hand. But all the stupid ticky tack fouls in games 2 and 3 are just game killers. Nevermind that the celtics have been getting the benefit of the majority of these bad calls, it's just stupid on both sides.

    Let them f*cking play for christ's sakes! It's the f*cking NBA FINALS.
