Controversial Umpiring on Back to Back Nights

Wednesday night saw the Eastern heavyweights Indiana and Miami face off in an epic encounter. One that saw Roy Hibbert in foul trouble most of the night and a comeback win for Miami. Without going into detail, Pacers will be in the NBA Finals. During this match there was a controversial call as Paul George rose up for the three to tie the game in the dying seconds and we can see Lebron clearly holding him on the hips. If you see the video the legs also clash and Paul George's momentum is definitely affected and his shot is well out to the left. Many analysts agree with me that it was a clear foul. Coach Nick from BBALLBREAKDOWN went as far as to say it was "One of the worst no calls I've seen in some time." The play was later reviewed on a segment on his show where former NBA umpire Ronnie Nunn also came to the conclusion it was a foul. However do we really expect a foul to be called against Lebron James at home? No, nevertheless the Pacers will beat the Heat in the playoffs

Tonight when surely it couldn't get anymore dramatic than last night... IT DID. The Spurs were without Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan against the Warriors in Golden State. The Spurs got a tip in from Tiago Splitter with 2 seconds left for a two point lead. A tip in that clearly should not have been allowed as it was still on the cylinder. The NBA rules do not allow a review of goaltending unless goaltending was the original call made on court, in this case it wasn't so no review was allowed. Golden State were robbed in this sense. There should definitely have been an overtime in this game.

Good thing is this season we are seeing a game winner basically every night, but seriously these referees have to get better with their calls.
