Why don't we have more talk about the situation with the referees?

I would think that this site would be covered with talk about how we got screwed when Iverson was here! I would also think that the new revelation about Billups would have us up in arms ready to file lawsuits against the NBA!

How can we post previews for games and not talk about how we hope the referees are in our favor tonight? Every post should start with "I hope the refs are betting on the Nugs to cover tonight". The cat is out of the bag and we just need to the right interviewer to sit down with Donaghy and make a real interview out of it. Forget about trying to blast him for ratting people out and get into the details of what fixing is going on.

Referees aren't allowed to have biases in sports and those that do should serve time in jail for collusion. The execs responsible for coaching the referees should spend time in jail as well. Sport is about fairness otherwise it isn't sport. They can't call it basketball if it isn't a fair competition. If Donaghy was winning 70 to 80 percent of his bets by knowing what referee's agendas were for certain games then something is seriously wrong.

Someone should sit down with Donaghy and takes notes of what he says about the refereeing in the game the other night against the Spurs. Then they can go back over games for the last 4 or 5 years in which the Nugs played the Lakers, Spurs, and Cavaliers. I have always thought those games were fixed and sometimes the Nugs beat the fix.

What is funny about this whole thing is I bet Nugs fans should be the most upset. With the attitudes of the players on the team we all love comes hate from the referees and the NBA. Who here wants to bet against me that before every Nugs game the NBA sends down a directive saying "put the clamps down on JR for his excessive celebrations after made buckets and his demonstrative actions after we make a bad call, get him by calling every little foul you can get away with (or Melo, Kmart, Billups, Nene, etc.)"?
