The worst was when Lou Williams gave an uppercut to the GS defender's jaw w/the basketball when he was going up for a shot. They gave the foul to GS, stupid #1. But if the call was somehow correct that you can foul a Spaulding w/your chin, the violation most definitely happened on the shot and it should have been 2 FT's. But instead it was OoB. And the incompetence is so common, the stupid commentators don't even bring it up. They just go with it like somehow we the viewer missed it. Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.
I've still yet to watch a whole NBA game this season. The officiating makes me want to vomit.

Officiating basketball at any level is incredibly difficult. Even trying your hand at officiating games between two teams of eight year olds is frustrating. Now, make their athleticism x50 and try it.
I am not saying they should get a free pass but the speed and pace of the game make it really hard to call.
