The Pistons/Suns game had some questionable calls on both sides. IMO, I can`t say that those calls decided that game, however, as tight as the Western Conf. race is, I understand the Suns anger and disgust.

If you are called upon to ref these remaining 12 or so games left in this tight race, you are under an enormous amount of pressure. A bad call here or there could indeed be the difference of a club well over .500 to miss the playoffs.

I look for a lot of techs to be called in the last 3 1/2 weeks of the season, (whether they are justified or not) hopefully a bad call will not be the reason for missing the playoffs for Golden State, Denver, or the Mavs.
