All-time worst calls in NBA history

[tastystaci]

Obviously NBA officiating is horrendous, and you could pick out a horrible call every few minutes. I'm talking significant, game costing calls that come to mind. I have three that still urk the s*** out of me.

#3. Any call that Tim Donoghy made against the Suns in game 3 of the '07 conference finals vs the Spurs. (May you burn in hell you piece of s***)

#2. Bill Laimbeer's phantom foul call against Kareem in game 6 of the '88 finals that cost the Pistons a championsip. I'm a Bulls fan, who hates Laimbeer, but this was shameful.

#1. Dwayne Wade's phantom call in game 5 of the '06 finals vs. the Mavs. Dirk makes a clutch, legendary, Bird-esque 18 footer to take the lead, and the corrupt officials make an unforgivable call that puts Wade to the free throw line for the win. Dallas would've had a 3-2 advantage going to dallas for the final two games. I curse you til the day you die David Stern. You took my favorite sport and turned it into the WWE.

every call in the 4th quarter of game 3 of the 2006 finals

[oh the horror]

I curse you til the day you die David Stern. You took my favorite sport and turned it into the WWE.

Im tired of "fans" claiming this is going on.


Some of you need to stop watching ball, if this is how you feel. Its nonsense, and untrue.

the idiotic moronic NBA refs that counted the bucket when the Celts opposing team had 6 on the floor at the same time, and wow... scored against the rule regulation 5 of the Celts.

of course the NBA isn't scripted like the WWE. lets not go overbaord...

but there is no doubt refs were instructed to try and extend playoff series by making biased calls. the nba makes millions off every playoff game, so of course they want as many as possible.

i agree, if some fans think the NBA is fixed because their teams s*ck and cant win sh!t they should just stop watching basketball but those are the same guys that pay 200 dollars a year for the NBA league pass. bunch of morons

That was just horrible

Not a bad call,they just followed the rules.. Can't blame the refs.. maybe they should've counted the players on the floor before they put the ball back into play, but they did everything according to the (flawed) book. That's why they're changing the rules now.

Don't forget this.

what about brent barry during the decisive game of the la-sa series last spring? i forgot exactly what happened, but i remember that LA was unfairly favored.

Ah...Tim Donoghy is in jail for like 20 years because of it. Get your head out of your butthole. It's a fact of life. Our only defense is to rant in places like this.

true. this isn't the game i was speaking of. This call was just the cherry on top.

Oops, I thought he was talking about game 6. Read too fast

Don't forget this.

Probably the most horrible call I've ever seen, but it didn't have a huge significance. The Knicks didn't win the title, and I can't imagine the Bulls beating the Rockets that year.
