10.9 seconds left. That's 10.0 more seconds than Damian needs, right?

Refs determined the outcome, period. We couldn't overcome the "foul" on Wes.

Which is EXACTLY why refs NEED to be accountable for their calls. I say we fire every single ref now working, and hire all new ones. |

I say we fire every single ref now working, and hire all new ones. In Kasey's letter to Adam Silver last year she called for the NBA to replace its officials with FIBA officials or other officials who are not employed by the NBA. |

I still think the refs in the NBA is an old boys club, just like the voters in college football. |

I still think the refs in the NBA is an old boys club, just like the voters in college football. I do not disagree. Kasey calls it a league mandate used to market large markets and superstars. Tim Donaghy said the same. It all makes sense. |

Plus, now that Durant and Westbrook are healthy, the NBA must do whatever they can to ensure that they win our division along with getting into the playoffs.
