I don't think there's a conspiracy against one team or another, but NBA officiating is generally terrible. It's kind of difficult to develop a game plan that includes a certain style of play when you don't know how close the officials are going to call the game. There were a few times in last night's game where someone drove the lane and got hacked and there was no call, yet there were a lot of ticky-tack fouls called throughout the game.
Having said that, I don't think Rasheed does his team any good by complaining about every single call. According to him, he has never committed a foul in his entire career. Plays like when he nearly broke Ginobili's arm and then flops to the floor in protest when a foul was called don't help the Pistons if they want to get better treatment.
