David Stern should suspend the referees that reffed the Nu..

Once again the most corrupt, dirtiest, and unprofessional organization in
pro sports, the NBA referees, strike again. For Iverson's comments after
the Sixers-Nuggets game about Steve Jabbe the refs punished Iverson and his
team all on their own by not calling the game fair. Iverson was continually
hammered going to the hoop and fouls simply were not called against the Jazz
repeatedly.

For years the refs have used these personal vendettas against certain
players that speak out against them and punished them by affecting game
outcomes. If the NBA has any credibility it would suspend the referees
involved in the game, but David Stern for years has shielded them from
criticism(witness Mark Cuban) and done anything possible to cover up their
misbehavior. Ask virtually any NBA player or coach off the record and they
will agree, but fear speaking out and being treated like Iverson was treated
the past two games...

That is so true. Whatever happened to freedom of speech? What kind of
society do we live in that it is OK to protest against the president but
speak out against the refs in the NBA and you get fined. That is sad
