i dont understand how nearly every game both teams can come away feeling screwed by the officiating, and people have been complaining about the poor quality of the refs for years. why wont the league do anything about it?

do you think the refs are really that blind or are they being told to influence the game somehow? with performances as bad as yesterdays i wouldnt be surprised if it's the latter

In the case of the NBA, it is partially because they have spent the last several years trying to train an entire league's worth of refs because they never did so as the previous generation aged out. As a result, nearly every game has like one established "fine/decent/acceptable" ref and two that are being trained.

Lots and lots of very green refs. Maybe it will be better 5-10 years from now. Maybe it won't.

Which league has the least lovely officiating?
