Oh absolutely. Cheating/flubs/subjectivity can enter any referreed sport, but to be honest, I think they're less prevelant in some sports than others, just through the nature of the game. And ultimately, the game is still decided by goals scored, not by points awarded by a judge.
And to be honest, I really don't care about Olympic basketball or tennis either. I think I'm old school and miss the days when Olympic athlete meant not professional -- if I want to watch an NBA game or a pro tennis match, I can. (Though I'll take college basketball over NBA any day of the week.) I mainly watch the Summer Olympics for swimming and track and field, though I can also get into things like volleyball or water polo. Other stuff I'll watch if it's on, but only because it's on.
