Do you think VanGundy,Breen,and Mark Jackson say "bad call","that should of been a no call", "that shouldn't of been a foul","No! Their giving it to the Celtics!".Just to make themselves look good?....They understand that they can be fired for wrongly criticizing the refs,but there comes a point where you just cant lie to the whole country and say "it was close" or "that was a bang bang play"...The fact that we heard so much of this proves to me that it was alot worse then they even portrayed it to be....And in The Finals no less...as if everyone is clueless to whats taking place out on the floor....I guess we're supposed to just shrug our shoulders and get ready for game 3...
The NBA championship can be bought more easily than a championship in any other sport hands down.....If you can call it that....
Free throw differential is just that --- free points.
Factor in the fouling that LA did late in th game --- Lakers shot 15 more free throws.
As for kobe.......Donaghy said that stars get away with stuff that other players cannot get away with. Problem with Kobe tonight is he was overly aggressive...refs had to call it....b/c his actions resulted in a competitive advanatage......can't just run around 'hand checkin'-- 'bumpin..etc..etc...when you expect touch fouls o be called against you when you go to the hoop or operate in the post.....
But still.....Lakers had practically a 20+ ft advanatge before the late game fouling --- and that is suppose to not be a factor? Heck yes it was a factor....boston had to sweat the game out b/c of that alone.....along with excellent low post play by gasol and bynum.

uhhhh when your name is JellyBean Mamba you can.....
the worst years are when the Spurs won their titles....
Then after the last one in 07...C's get big 3,LA gets Pau for his brother and a washing machine,Kidd goes to Dallas,Shaq to Phoenix,etc. etc.
I dont think the Spurs are Mr.Stern's favorite team
LMFAO
You can make sure the NBA and Stern are well oiled all you want....bottom line is the refs are not fine...and if you want everybody to think that then hire anaylsts who will lie on live tv and lose all their credibility in the basketball world in the process...
otherwise deal with the fact that you can pay guys millions of dollars to call games and they still wont spit out "the company line"....
