Referees Botch the End of Another NBA Playoff Game? Looks Like It....

Questionable NBA officiating has reared its ugly head again this time during Game Five of the Oklahoma City Thunder/Memphis Grizzlies series. With the final seconds running off the clock in overtime Serge Ibaka attempted to tip in a missed shot, but in the process appears to get whacked.

The officials ruled he didn't get the shot off in time, but was he fouled?

Here's a closer look at the final play:

Referees have the toughest job in all of sports. Their task is a thankless one where people only take notice of you if you screw up. No matter what someone is going to be unhappy with you and with the speed that every sports is played at it is impossible to make every call.

That being said, it still sucks when the call that is missed is one that affects the outcome of the game.
