NBA Finals, is it really basketball?

NBA Finals, is it really basketball?
I noticed today where Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, was fined for a tirade after the game last night. An OT loss to Miami. He was upset with the officiating and I can't agree with him more. These days watching a basketball game is like watching a horse race. I mean seriously, when was the last time you took three or four steps and wasn't called for walking? Even in rec leagues and pick-up games these guys in the NBA today would be called. And shooting, the game used to be nice and clean with 15-18ft jumpers, layups and the occasional 3 pointer and dunk. I mean lately its feast or famine, dunk or three. I ask again, Is it Really Basketball? Not!
