I am still flabbergasted from watching the Suns vs. Pistons game last night. Joe Forte and his inept officiating crew handed the game to the Pistons through series of horrific and ghost calls! I'm wondering how many of them were on the take in Atlantic City or Vegas!

And, this is not the only game with terrible officiating. Some of the games in the past weeks were poorly officiated! Well, as long as the NBA chooses to turn the other cheek, we will continue to have bad (crooked) referees calling games!

This is crap. Because you're a fan of the Suns doesn't mean the ref is crooked. Read the news. The FBI and the NBA checked out all the other refs.

Are you insane? Do you watch the games? Suns fan or not they really need to teach the officials how to call a game. These refs need to be reprimanded for craptacular calls within the entire league.

Follow the money trail - check Las Vegas gaming boards and bet on number 39 to always play against the Suns.

The officiating lately towards the Suns has been horrendous. Last night in Denver, Raja Bell and Anthony got a double T, all well and good. On the next play, Anthony gets the ball, Bell puts his forearm on him and is called for a foul. Questionable call, but okay...somebody says something to him and he starts laughing. Next thing you know he has his second T and is ejected...for laughing at something a teammate said or did. Didn't Crawford get suspended last year for exactly that? Later on, Anthony got called for his fourth foul and ran down the court laughing...shouldn't consistency dictate a T for Anthony? Same game, Amare goes up for a block, gets called for the foul he flings his hands down in disbelief...Technical. Not two minutes later, Camby gets called for a foul and runs down the court screaming and waving his hands...no technical. That goes along with the night before, when between the third and fourth period, the Suns coaching staff came out to speak with one of the officials. It appeared to be a calm, civilized conversation when all of a sudden, another ref, from about 80 feet away, calls a Technical on Dan D'Antoni, when they try to determine why, all three refs walk away and refuse to discuss it.

The biggest problem with refs is a lack of consistency in enforcing the rules. If its a foul for one, it should be a foul for all, if its a T for one, it should be a T for all. Until the refs stope calling the game emotionally and start calling it objectively, they will continue to be looked at as biased and unprofessional.

We can all see the horrible officiating and the one sided calls. The Phoenix Suns seam to get screwed more then other teams. But, the NBA and the NBRA make a bad situation worse when the fail to publically admit that any ref. has ever blown a call. No NBA representative addressed the poor officiating in the Suns Vs. Pistons game a few weeks ago. No one even admited there may have been some bad calls. They stick there heads in the sand and hope it goes away. I AM SO SICK OF WATCHING IT THAT I HAVE PUT THE REST OF MY SEASON TICKETS ON STUB HUB.

Your an idiot for giving up your tickets than. The Suns are playing well and are poised to make a run in the playoffs. It's said that you can't get past your homer point of view and enjoy the game.
