The NBA reacts to Monday Night Football's replacement ref debacle

So the Packers and Seahawks had themselves quite an interesting finish Monday night. With tensions building around the NFL over the replacement refs, the league's spotlight game was marred by a series of unfortunate calls, the final one being the most controversial of all.

What appeared to be an interception on a last-second Hail Mary was ruled a touchdown by officials, giving Seattle a wild 14-12 win over the Packers. Something about simultaneous possession or something.

And as you might expect, Twitter exploded, with plenty of NBA players weighing in on the controversy as well. A selection of reactions:

Just found out there's a 1-week training program to be an NFL ref. Now it alllll makes sense...

— Danny Granger (@dgranger33) September 25, 2012

It's one thing for the replacement refs to get it wrong, but how do they confirm it on the replay?

— Jon Leuer (@JLeu30) September 25, 2012

The real refs swag are gonna be outta control when they get back.. They prob wanna fly private now, roll around the field on Segway's

— Quincy Pondexter (@QuincyPondexter) September 25, 2012

I would love to see what my reaction would be if a Mavs game ended like #MNF. #Expensive #NBAtime

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) September 25, 2012

After seeing the 2nd half of the Packer game I may never watch another NFL game until the real refs are back!
