It’s a time-honored tradition for fans, writers, and bloggers to complain or call out the officiating when it impacts the teams we root for and write about. Most of the time it’s a call that could have gone either way or that there were so many other plays along the way that it shouldn’t come down to that one play.
However, watching the late-game officiating Milwaukee Bucks have had over their last two games, there is only one conclusion: NBA officiating and replay rules are broken. There have been two incorrect defensive foul calls that the officials have admitted were wrong after the game, but weren’t changed because of the current NBA replay system and rules around it.
