Tom Washington officiated a very good game and I must take off my hats to Tony Brown and last but certainly not least Marc Davis for their control of tonights game between Portland and Dallas. My pleasure meeting you gentlemen and have a safe journey.

This is a message is for Tommy Washington. I remember when Tom was officiating local games here in Philly and contrary to Bernard’s comments Tom has been a great official and an even greater person.
After he broke up the fight between the Knicks and the Heat years ago that was enough to prove his worth. Drop me a line Tom.

I wish Tom Washington either retire or never allowed to referee in any NBA playoff games ever again…after witnessing his egregious no calls both in the eastern conference finals with D.Wade raking Rondo across his face late in game#2 which gave Miami a pass that changed the momentum of the game…in game#2 Heat vs Thunder ,Tom Washington is probably the only person watching that game didn’t see the mugging by Lebrun on Durant.Tom is the perfect example for why fans and some NBA experts have doubts about the quality of the officiating today.
