		<description><![CDATA[You gotta be kidding me!  Talk about how the refs have a lot of impact on how a game turns out, please, now they have all the power.  David Stern, you should have some respect for the game, and the players who make a ton of money for you, and the NBA Association.   It&#039;s so ridiculous, the nba talks about how the fans feel like there needs to be more respect for the game?  What fans are willing to summit to watching a game when at any given moment a key player can be thrown out for showing emotion.  Sure players shouldn&#039;t be aggressive or have over the top behavior, but come on!  Look back at the 80&#039;s!  I also saw in South America how a player punched a ref in the face, and you don&#039;t see the extreme reffing changes.  I feel like we&#039;ll be watching basketball players playing while they&#039;re in jail.  Now how are the players suppose to play like themselves, they&#039;re forced into playing like the Stepford basketball players(Stepford Wives movie, wives who are transformed into perfect, and OBEDIANT wives).  What a joke!  I&#039;m a big basketball fan, but if this is the way it&#039;s going to be then why would I bother watching anymore, and why would fans want to buy tickets anymore when the ball game isn&#039;t in the hands of the players, and coaches, but in the hands of the technical foul happy calling refs.  Hmm, playoffs should be exciting, or boring, lets see wha tthe refs decide???  Time for a new younger commissioner?  I think the players should strike rather than lay down for this crap.]]></description>
