Not Again!?!

So how many times do my precious Sacramento Kings have to lose to the referees and not their opposing teams. For the second straight home game, the Kings have been screwed by the referees for not calling crucial game turning events. The only part that is worst is the teams have now lost too; two of the elite in the west division, Phoenix and Dallas. On Wednesday night, the Kings were down 123 to 125 to Phoenix with 12 seconds left in the game. The Kings got a shot off under the hoop where an offensive interferance call was not made on a Phoenix player who blocked the shot to win the game. And now tonight, the Kings were ahead by one point with less than a minute to play against Dallas when a sure goal tending play was not called giving the Mavericks another possesion to drive down to the opposite end of the court to put in a basket to win. Sacramento is not a happy city. I hope the Referees are held accountable for their poor play. Some of the King's players were fined and suspended for their reactions to the finale of the Phoenix game...so I don't see why these referees shouldn't be fined the same 10,000 or 15,000 with a suspension. Fair is fair.
