Do you guys believe that NBA referees are biased towards the home team?

I'm just curious because I've been watching basketball games forever and coaches, players and such always complain after the game about how the refs are biased towards the home team. Do you guys believe so? What would their motivation to be biased be? Illegal funding?

One way to find out is to take a look at every game and see how many calls are made against the away team as compared to the home team. Surely someone out on the internet has done something like that.

i say yes, but they dont do it on purpose. the fans may affect what they call. they may feel pressured to make a call just to shut the crowd up. just my opinion.

not bias towards the home team

bias towards whoever the comissioner wants to win (see: lakers vs. kings)
