Did anyone watch the Bucks game where Sam Cassel was sopposed to draw his second T, but they gave it to Collins?
the commentators even said it, that the ref knew Sam had 1 T already and did'nt want to give him another to be thrown out the game.
I'm not gonna say the leauge is fixed but the refs do have a major roll in the outcome of the game.

The refs have a major role in the outcome of EVERY sport. Did any of you see the Niners- Giants playoff game? Or any baseball game for that matter? Ref calls can change the outcome of a game but that doesnt mean the league is fixed.

I did'nt sa the league was fixed. Just that they have a major outcome. And sometimes that outcome favors one team. Dramatically, not just a blown call but a series of blown calls that does nothing but favor the other team. Be it that team has superstars, rookies, or nobodys, a lot of games depend on what the refs calls and does'nt call.
And you cant compare this to baseball or football, it was already discussed in another thread a while ago that the refs in basketball have the biggest impact towards the outcome of the game. Because basketball is one of the only sports where a penalty results in adding and subtracting points.
