Maybe I am missing something. What do you think this is all about? what is the angle if not a league-wide conspiracy? It isnt to right the wrong committed against Yao Ming in that one game, that's for sure.

You keep building this straw man. It does not have to be league-wide to be a major problem, nor does it have to involve all of the refs. Nor does it mean that a push by an officiating crew to influence a game is always successful. That is why your earlier list of contrary outcomes proves nothing.
And I guess
conspiracy is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I hate the thought of superstars getting soft treatment. Few people would argue that that doesn't happen. The entire question is how far is the league willing to go to influence outcomes?
