The first round series were alright, despite what Howard thought. Obviously, there isn't going to be a perfect night for officials, and we don't expect that, but there has to be more consistency.
They have to be more consistent with guys going up and getting hit on the body but not on the arm/hand. When guys man up on each other and start using their hands, that has to be called better, I see way too many touch fouls.
Also, the 3 second violation on offense/defense is a joke. Traveling an carrying hardly get called enough. Watching FFD post up and start backing guys down while getting his hand under the ball, and that not being called is just horrific. Guys stepping over the line when inbounding after a scored basket, should be called too, if it's a rule it should be upheld.
