This series reminds me why I am not a big fan of the NBA. Holding, pushing, intentionally fouls, taunting, etc. is the norm and basketball as I knew it is vanishing. Allowing the "stars" to do whatever they want to keep them on the floor affects the outcome of games and puts teams without the "stars" at a disadvantage. The referees are just following the guidelines of the league administrators so it is difficult to put the blame on them. OK, that's just my opinion. I hope the college game doesn't go in the same direction.
