And NBA Officiating Has Gone from Sucking to Even Worse...

Just in case you still haven't witness Saturday's embarrassing end by the zebras, stealing a victory from Dallas and giving it to Denver, here's the video from one of the worst non-calls in NBA history.



You know it's got to be downright horrific when a Heat fan actually has sympathy for the Mavericks and Mark Cuban.

Or maybe it's just I detest the job NBA officials are doing, and the absolute hard-headedness from David Stern on-down to not address it. And a statement two hours after the game saying "We F'd Up," does not count.

What gets me is this: If you really want to make the situation right, wipe the Carmelo 3 off the board, give Antoine Wright the foul and gather everyone to replay the final 4 seconds with Dallas up 105-103, before the tip-off of Game 4. Sure, it's not the most fair scenario to Denver. But isn't this about getting calls right? What's a more fair scenario: Taking a win away from Denver that it didn't deserve, or screwing Dallas by standing by a call you've already admitted was wrong?

Until those things happen, everyone should be allowed to take unlimited shots at the officiating without any ramifications, beginning with the commish's best friend, Mr. Cuban.
