Well, the Cavs lost, so there goes that.
I hear what you are saying, but I think the NBA has improved a lot in the area of swinging the momentum of series from a reffing standpoint.
I mean, the way they call games in general is infuriating sometimes, but they are usually pretty consistent throughout a game with how they are calling it. Refs might swing momentum throughout a game, but not so much an entire series. Evidenced by the large number of one sided playoff series this year. Generally the best team won each series by a comfortable margin.
Reffing was much more crooked under David Stern then it is now under Adam Silver...............at least when it came to purposely extending series or playing favoritism for certain teams.
Still infuriating now and for different reasons, but consistently infuriating.
