The refs did not cost the Magic game three in Toronto, but holy cow, don't playoff caliber teams deserve playoff caliber refs? Just when you thought that the officiating couldn't get any worse, along comes game three of the Magic-Raptors series. OK, so the refs treat playoff games differently than regular season games, but for gosh sakes, call it the same on both ends of the court and be consistent. A touch is a foul but an elbow or a jersey grab isn't? And for Pete's sake, Hedo gets all ball and lower body contact, and the stripes can't decide if it is a flagrant one or two? Twenty years ago, it would have been a good defensive play. I'm not saying reinstate Tim Donaghy, but surely, there are some competent NBA officials who don't consort with known gamblers. There is no conspiracy among the referees, only incompentence.
