DETROIT — Apparently nobody makes mistakes or misses shots or loses playoff games anymore. They either get calls or they don’t. Remember the rules — pass the blame to the easiest target and always, always say it’s the ref’s fault.

In Detroit-New York, we have, by far, the most compelling and entertaining first-round series in the Eastern Conference. Every game has been nip-and-tuck, decided in the fourth quarter by either heroics or collapse.

An overflow of drama.

Yet, the prevailing sentiment postgame from the losers — only the losers, mind you — is they’ve been wronged by the officials, with hints at biases and conspiracies.
