Caron Butler spikes Serge Ibaka's shot into the face of a NBA official.

This is the season of the NBA referees, you guys. I am telling you, in the history of NBA, there has not been so many referee related incidents. Earlier this season we had an official caught secretly working for the Miami Heat, then another one blocking free throw shots, one stalling games on national TV and one that danced Gangnam Style with a mascot. Finally, we have an innocent official getting a surprise from Caron Butler. I hope David Stern calls Derek Richardson (victim) tomorrow and give him a flop warning for that, because flinches resulting from actual hits can't put you on the floor. That is unless Caron Butler possesses an advanced, state of the art, biologically engineered arm that can send a man through the crust of the Earth and deep into the mantle. But that's probably impossible, so the only reasonable explanation is that, there must be something in the water of the LA Clippers facility that makes everyone exaggerate their body movements. In that case, I would like advise against Blake Griffin from drinking that water, he is way too hopped up on that stuff.

A NBA Official did the Gangnam Style dance during a timeout.

This needs to happen every game with real referees. I mean who wouldn't pay for Joey Crawford or Dick Bavetta to loosen up and dance with the mascot. They are keeping their shirt on of course, I don't want risk impairing the visions of basketball fans. Speaking of visual impairment, that Jazz Bear mascot is hideous, he looks like a giant brown raccoon in a bad way.

A NBA Official was caught stalling the Lakers vs. Spurs game for commercial time.

The last 2 minutes of a NBA basketball game is already 10 minutes longer than it is suppose to be, and you have the audacity to stall the game to air more commercials that nobody is paying attention to? Don't get mad at Billy Kennedy, it was Mike D'Antoni's fault for calling a time out he didn't have in the first place. No wonder everyone bags on you as a coach, you are not doing yourself any favors Pringles man. I wonder what Kobe is saying to Tim Duncan. Are they recommending each other anti-aging creams/serums? Wrinkle-free formulas? Our safest bet was that Kobe probably trashed his teammates, but not Robert Sacre though, he's cool.

Atlanta Hawks GM, Danny Ferry was fined $15,000 for snitching on Rajon Rondo.

Rocky Widner/Getty Images - Rajon Rondo really hates referees in Atlanta.

"Snitches get stitches." We all know how that saying goes, growing up you were sworn to a million unwritten rules and one of them were to never tell on your friends. If Jack broke the teacher's vase, you act like you don't know anything, even if it means the whole class get detention. But there were always one person who spills the truth to save themselves. In this case, Danny Ferry was that dude. He was fined $15,000 by the NBA for "inappropriate interaction" with the NBA officials. According to a person familiar with the situation, the Atlanta Hawks GM handed the referees a DVD, although it' contents are unclear it probably included a video of Rondo bumping the referee during the game on Saturday. Now, the funny thing was that Rondo got suspended for a game for his actions anyway, and because Danny boy decided to stick his nose in the none of your business jar, he lost a couple bucks.

If you still don't understand the concept of snitching, perhaps my friend, Huey Freeman can explain it better. The following is a clip from the Boondocks, so naturally it has NSFW language.

Don't talk to LeBron James like a kid.

Taking out your frustrations by starting a pointless fight with referees doesn't help your case, LeBron. I hope that you didn't take it too personal and call up David Stern to get that official fired for talking back.

Amir Johnson got away with a ridiculous Double Dribble.

From the National Post:

“You can’t teach that,” Johnson said after the game. “You can’t teach that at all. I think I sold it with my pump fake.”

 This is incredible, but stranger things have happened in Toronto.

A NBA Referee tried to block Kris Humphries's free throw attempt.

This is the funniest thing to ever happen in recent NBA memory. I didn't catch this game, so I am not sure why he did it, looked like a late Toronto substitution. Anyway, I hope this inspire a new way to call games, instead of using the whistle, referees should be allowed to get in the game, and force a stop. It won't be effective, but would be hilarious.

NBA Officials secretly works for the Miami Heat.

Okay that is probably not true, but the ref can blame those damn natural body reflexes for giving Mario Chalmers an assist, LeBron James a lay up and receiving two Atlanta Hawks frowns.

Jordan Crawford almost got away with shooting Jan Vesely's free throws.

Oh, man. Jordan Crawford almost pulled one on the referee. You can't blame them, who seriously pays attention to a Washington Wizards and Charlotte Bobcats game. Even the announcers didn't notice until Jan Vesely bricks to two free throws. Do they practice this? I mean it looked so natural, almost like Jan Vesely knew instantly what Jordan Crawford tried to do. I think we can just conclude that Jordan just really likes to shoot the basketball, which speaks for his "great" shot selections in games.
