No and maybe.

Of course officials cheat, Michael Franzis (sp?) a former Mobster wrote a book and has done several interviews detailing how the Mob has fixed sports (not outcomes as much as lines) since the 1950's.
Donaghy is more proof He admitted and pegged several other officials who cheated to authorities. Nice though, "don't mention the one guy who disproves my point" that works well when debating.

The point of my post is that there are a million interesting things to talk about in basketball and arguing over which team gets a biased whistle is stupid. 82games.com and basketball prospectus have us on the verge of a statisical revolution

I 100% agree, I've been fighting for the abolishment of ref complaining in this thread since the beginning. The thing that bothers me about refs is how easily they call fouls, not which teams they favor. I think it disrupts the game too often.

The Aforementioned King James is one of the greatest young players ever and on track to break almost every major NBA record, Young stars litter the league, and on and on and on.

No doubt, but he hasn't reached the point of being miles ahead of Kobe either. And stats don't mean everything, when you're on a more well rounded teams your stats are naturally not going to look as impressive because you don't need to have big games night in and night out anyways.

I won't bother to get into last nights Cleveland\Orlando game except to say I guarantee the Magic don't shoot that good in a half again all series and that Cleveland will win in five or six.

Last series against the Celts and their whole NBA season says your wrong. The Cavs simply don't have the matchups to counter players like Turkoglu or Howard. I'm saying Magic will win this series (as I said earlier in this thread).

In 1993, the Suns were the NBA's best team and were pushed to five in round one by the Warriors and seven in round three by a young Sonics team which got punked in round one the following year. Young teams have a bad half once in awhile, his team mates got caught watching him, he won't allow that to happen again.

The Cavs have faced little adversity in the playoffs until now. It's pretty hard to say they're the best team if you have little to go on besides the regular season (which isn't indicative of enough)
