I'll only bitch about the refs if somone whines about the Lakers getting a break in a game. Best example is last year, game 4 in San Antonio WCF. The NBA dropped the ball by saying a foul should have been called on Fisher, but the reality is, Barry traveled first. Watch him pivot, then lift the other foot before he dribbles. Looks like a great play by Fisher to intimidate him into the travel. A good non call by the refs.
Ok, my beef is, the refs blew it 3 times just before this in favor of San Antonio. First, Ginobili hit a clear 2 pointer but was awarded 3. Next, Odom had a clean block on a Parker drive but was called for goaltend. Last, Fisher hit the rim with a shot, Lakers got the rebound with about 12 seconds left and ahead by two, but the 24 second clock was not reset. I have seen Spurs fans say if the foul is called, Spurs win that series and then beat the Celtics! What's in the river water in San Antonio that causes these delusions?
