After watching a lot of playoff games in 2010 (except some of the Eastern Conference games because those series are boring until the conference finals), it seems like the refs are calling games a lot more closely than they are in the regular season. I thought the playoffs were about no blood no foul? I have never seen so many minor fouls get called. I have only watched the NBA for 10 years, but I imagine they probably let even more stuff happen earlier on.

I agree with Nate that it is ridiculous that the refs aren't letting the players play. It takes the fan enjoyment out of the picture. All I can do is complain about it, but what do you guys think? It definitely took the physicality out of our Nuggets. I feel if these 2010 refs replaced the 2009 refs, we wouldn't have won as many playoff games as we did.
