But seriously when you say it didn\'t decide the game?  You do relize that the Lakers were in the bonus at the end, and if they called that foul on Kobe, it results in two free throws for Bibby, meaning they win.

also it evens out?  It hasn\'t yet, this is the worst officiated series ever.  My god man, it has made news across the freak\'n globe.  Everyone nba fan on the planet is talking about it.  Did anyone make as big of a deal about any other series ever?  No, do you think there might be a reason for that?

Yes, there is a reason for that.  LA actually is that good, and people don\'t want to accept it.  They deserved to win, and they did.  Quit whining about the past, and look ahead to today\'s game 7.

Yeah, cause shockwaves is the only other one stupid enough to agree with you.

Nah, I\'m just not letting the games get to me as much as you all are.  If you\'ll remember, I actually do want he Kings to win.  Were the calls bad?  Yes.  WOuld I blame the refs for the Kings losing?  No.  Simple as that.

Whatever, the only reason I\'m worked up about it is because games like this will only ruin the NBA.  Its already utter trash 90% of the time and if **** like that can happen why would anybody want to ever watch games.  Yes, lets watch games where the refs are the MVPs.

Ah man I was gonna say that.  shockwaves didn\'t watch the entire game, therefore he has no business talking about how the game wasn\'t decided by the refs.  If Bryant would\'ve been called for the two tech\'s that he deserved he wouldn\'t have made those free throws that clinched the game for LA.  Bibby would\'ve went to the line, made the free throw, Kings ball out with 20 seconds to go.

Oh and the "accidental elbows" riiiiiight.  Bibby didn\'t hook Kobe until Kobe went across his body and elbowed him in the nose, then Bibby was just trying to stay up.  I don\'t get how someone can be knocked out basically and get the foul called on them.  

Game 7 better have the best damn officials the NBA has.

I watched the second half.  Is that not the part where the worse calls were?

See the terrible calls were the game.  From the 2nd quarter on.

Plus the first quarter Tech on Webber that should\'ve gone to Kobe.

I still think that it is rediculous to think in any situation that some bad calls are the reason that a team lost the game.  I think the play of the Lakers, and the play of the Kings had something to do with it too... :rolleyes:

NO  How are the Kings supposed to win when 2 of their players are out for B.S. calls.  That right there hurt their play.  The only reason the game was even close at the end is because the Kings outplayed them the whole game.  The calls were what decided the game.  Atleast TRY to backup that comment.

You want me to back my comment up?  Fine.  The Lakers shot a higher percentage than the Kings, both from the field and from the line.  If the Lakers had shot their FTs at the same percentage that the Kings did, the Kings would have won by one point.  If the Kings had shot at the same clip the Lakers did from the field, the game would have been tied.  Oh, the Lakers also out rebounded the Kings.  And despite the horrible calls people are complaining about in the fourth, the Lakers only outscored the Kings by 4 in the quarter.  That means it was tied going in.  The Lakers were playing at least even with the Kings the whole game.  You say the bad calls were 2nd quarter on?  Then why did the Lakers outscore the Kings in the first?  The idea that the refs made all this happen is insane.  The Lakers won this, the Kings lost it.

See thats good and all but don\'t you think the Kings would have scored more and the Lakers score less if Divak was still in.  But of course he wasn\'t because of all the terrible calls on him.  That dismisses everything you said.  And if you minus out all those free throws by the Lakers because of the calls the Kings would of won.  Or add in the technical shots for Kobe elbowing Bibby in the face on purpose.  Two shots and the ball.

I\'m not denying that those calls changed the game and really hurt the Kings.  I\'m just saying that they could have won despite them, but they didn\'t.  They play of the teams has a lot more to do with the outcome than the calls that were made.
