How do you mean? Like the NBA itself is orchestrating the entire playoffs? or individual/groups of referees are just deciding games amongst themselves?

I would like to see the officials held publicly accountable for their calls in a post game press conference. The public has a right to know. The media has a right to ask questions on why certain things were called/not called. My job has me in the car quite a bit, so I listen to sports talk radio constantly, both local and national shows. It is interesting to hear different perspectives on NBA officiating and what could and/or should be done to improve it.
The NBA has never seen another player like LeBron. He is extremely difficult to "officiate" due to his combination of strength, size and quickness. On top of that, he has taken his game to a level in the playoffs, particularly in this series, and he is handling/controlling the ball a high percentage of the time.
Its do or die time for Orlando tomorrow. Cleveland is not going to lose a game 7 at home. The officials wont allow it

Should be. the lakers wont match up well against the magic either. If they (orlando) can continue to shoot how they did against the cavs, they're gonna pull it out.

Can't say that I watched every minute of this series. But it underscores everything that is great about sports: On any give day, anyone can beat anyone else. What's on paper doesn't matter.
