Yeah, like anybody thought that the White Sox were going to be one of the best teams in baseball before the season.
And it's halftime of Game 5 as I write this and, so far, this is the worst officiating job I've seen...well, since Tuesday night. Seriously, it's like the Heat are playing 8-5 right now. Detroit is getting whistled for the most ridiculous crap (see the "charge" where Dooling - I think it was Dooling - was still mid-stride; Ben Wallace "fouling" Wade while Wade walked through the lane). There have been a couple of calls where the Pistons have been called for offensive fouls where the Heat player was inside the arc. And it's like watching a 2003 Lakers game with the amount of no-calls on Shaq.
I swear, if this is the way the game is being called now, someone should sign Akebono to an NBA contract, get him some conditioning training, and put him on the court. If you're allowed to just push your man under the basket and not get called for an offensive foul, Akebono could be the next dominant NBA center.
As much as I like Shaq as a "character," I hate hate hate the way he plays the game. They might as well just hand the referees Miami jerseys when they walk in the door.
