This is a thread we can all discuss on HOW teams can get proper officiating. A machine, maybe? Something else?Post your ideas here. I'll post mine later.I'll start a petition once BBW has a final argument.
I'd say get rid of the commish and get one that doesen't care about money but that's impossible. The NBA is a business and games will always be rigged if it means more money.
Start fresh with the officials and study them closely and look for some calls that look like they are benefitting a certain team or certain superstar player.
lol this is a little offtopic but i remember the year after the lakers won 3 championships and they were going for a 4th ring in the second round against san antonio the spurs has like 40 more foul shots(im serious) and phil jackson was furious and got all the refs fired lmao i loved it, this was before you were fined for talking bad about refs <---better days
If the heat won by outplaying the mavs then i'd hapily give them props but tonight, i witnessed a tragedy. There destroying the Nba.
Go back to how the NBA used to be - let defense strive, don't change rules like stern has been doing to make it more entertaining to watch. Bring back the hard fouls - no pussy calls. Make it a sport, not a business.this is impossible to know, but no superstar treatmentand Refs should talk in the post game interviews to explain calls.

Allow replays at the end of close games maybe.
Here's a way to fix calls in the first three quarters. At the end of the half and third quarter, the team is allowed to send in 3 plays they thought were unfair to the team. The change requests can't change the number of points, but if a foul was on Player A and not on Player B, and B is called for the foul, it's switched to A. It can be significant later in the game. Also, if there is a bad call for a foul and a player goes to the line for two free throws, the points can't change, but the foul can be taken away.I think it's pretty reasonable.
lol 3 plays...how about make it kinda like football where coaches can challenge calls and they use the camears to make sure of things.
The pros treatment is the main reason. And, the refs have called great games. I wanna see you guys taht are complaning. Like waqas would call everyhting against the Heat for the Mavs. The refs do a great job. Respect it.

Fire Davis Stern, and watch the refs closely. Maybe take of money of there pay check for every bad call they make. LOL hahaha Hey it would make them pay attention more, and not make calls to help anyone.

I am really not sure what I would do besides that.
I really think there should be a certain level of accuracy of calls for refs to be allowed to do playoff games. If they don't exceed that percentage of accuracy than they don't do playoff game. Get many counters to keep track of the percentages of how each ref does. Sure that's alot of work but they got so much money that they can afford getting many counters.
