Look.  I know that basketball is a very tough sport to officiate.  Referees don’t have the same viewing angles as we do on television, and there are often huge 6’10″ dudes standing between them and the play at issue.  It’s a tough job.

That said, everyone knows it’s fixed to a degree.  Superstars get calls, the flow of the game is dictated by the refs intentionally, and the home team almost always gets the benefit of the doubt.  With that in mind, it’s not too surprising that when CJ Miles of the Jazz blatantly hacked Kevin Durant during Durant’s shot that could have won the game for the Thunder, the refs stood around and watched.  No whistle was blown, and the Utah crowd proceeded to ejaculate all over themselves.  You can take a look at the clip of the non-call HERE.  The NBA had this to say:

“On the final play of last night’s Oklahoma City-Utah game, the officials missed a foul committed by the Jazz’s C.J. Miles on the Thunder’s Kevin Durant during a three-point shot attempt.”

And, of course, there will be no repercussions and the same thing will continue.  Everyone move along.  David Stern is the Antichrist.
