Curious - the TV announcers - were they..

They were inept, but not particularly biased.

My problem was with the one clown who was spewing that "It was a foul, but you don't make that call late in the game" nonsense on Willie's drive at the end of regulation.

This notion that an official swallows his whistle because he doesn't want to decide the game is such crap. He's deciding the game just as much by robbing a player (Willie, in this case) of his rightful shot at winning the game with free throws.

I don't want ticky-tack fouls called in that situation, but the foul on Willie was hardly that. And if nothing else, it would have put Foster on the bench for OT.

I can't agree that the officiating was evenly bad. When Tiny sits for 35 minutes of game action and Foster never does foul out, even with an overtime, that's not even. Foster could have fouled out in the first half.

This.
