I like most most of the refs ... except for BENNETT SALVATORE ... D-Bag... I hate him with a vengeance. _________________ #11/08/16 America became GREAT again

One of the refs for what most neutral sports fans say was the worst refereed playoff game in the history of the league.

I found a lot of Tim Donaghys book to be unbelievable but I believed every word he said about Dick Bavetta. The game is better without him, who cares what team "should" win, call it even and let one team earn it.

Is this about Donaghy's claim that games reffed by Bavetta that seemed like blowouts were intentionally kept close? _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

I think that one was probably a bigger issue with Vegas point spreads but if any of those teams actually came back to win because of his help, that's a problem. The bigger issue was extending playoff series by taking a game from the rich and giving it to the poor so the NBA gets a longer series and more revenue. That Peter Pan nonsense has no place in sports. Teams in the playoffs are too evenly matched for one game to be a far decider of a series, that's why series don't last one game.
Agreed. There is not one official out there who is even average. It's ridiculous.
The good ones are the ones who you've never heard of because you never notice them. It means they're invisible just like they're supposed to be. The ones that love the attention always find themselves in controversy, I wonder why.

Another stern ref he was corrupt as the others, just because he was a skinny old man does not make him a good ref. Good riddance. _________________ .....
