Are the refs doing their best to suck?

Two bad calls in the Bulls game just now. A bogus offensive foul, and then Boozer pushes a Pacer out of bounds (the guy that looks like Freddie Mercury) and they call nothing. AND the ball "went off" of him too.

The official "REFS ARE ON THE TAKE 2011 NBA PLAYOFFS" thread

It seems like the end of every game, there's some bullshit calls that go against the non-favored team. It's becoming laughable.

Way to be classy Chicago.

They do suck, but I also believe these really slow games are hard to ref. Especially with the extreme grey areas in the rules, (ticky tack fouls, make up calls, and star treatment) Pretty hard to officiate consistent for 4 quarters of playoff basketball.
