Find one post in my NT career that ever has me complaining about reffing. It's just an element in the game of basketball, get over it. Had the BrentBarry thing been the other way around (Lakers got shafted) best believe the city of LA would have been rioting and there would have been a zillion post threadabout how the refs are cheating the lakers.

Being a Kings fan I obviously thought they got the calls and it was fixed, but I am just in shock that it is actually true and came out. Pretty sick and yougotta feel bad for the players and coaches, especially the city of sacramento. Does any of the people who bet on that game get any refunds? I put down a largesum of money for that on Sac .ughhhhh

Reaching. How would the Lakers get shafted? We got lucky that the refs didn't make that call. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT WAS A FREAKING FOUL. Butultimately the refs didn't make the call. So if it was the other way around, how can the Lakers be shafted when it sure as hell that we were lucky that therefs didn't make the call?

I don't know man, I'm beginning to think the NBA was fixed for MJ and the knicks ...j/k
I remember Tim Hardaway calling +$@# Bavetta, Knick Bavetta
Then again I think Pat Riley was a scumbag because he fixed us up on purpose in that 1997 series where our players got suspended

They completely choked it, and it was obvious as it could be.
This is what happened the rest of the series....
Not to mention Wade shooting 24 free throws in Game 5 (more than both teams combined, and ending the game one 2 free throws when he wasn't even touched).
Don't be

I won a pretty substantial bet with my friend back in HS on that Kings/LA series...
I'm sure I'll be getting a call about it soon.

Are you serious bro? Did I word it that awkwardly? I meant were the lakers the ones who were down and they didn't get a foul like that called for them.
Your memory is even shorter; that whole game was officiated horribly in favor of the Spurs, to the tune of way more than a 3 point advantage. I thought that the media would be talking about how bad the refs were in the SPURS' favor the next day, but that no call on Fisher covered it up.
And I am not at all surprised to hear about this Kings game. If you had asked me if I thought any of our games were fixed, I would point to that game and the one we lost against the Twolves as being fixed in our favor. At least I can admit it and see when bad calls are being made though unlike a lot of fans.
You can spin it how ever way you want it, (make up for other calls, etc etc) point is the Lakers got blessed by the refs when it mattered the most and onthe most obvious call. Is your reading comprehension skill really that bad? I'll give you a synoposis of that post you quoted from.
Laker fans complain they get shafted by the refs. Lakers get calls in their favor IE the DF non call. It happens to all teams yet one team in particularitches about it the most when in fact it's the other way around.
This isn't an arguement on whether or not the Spurs got cheated or whether or any of that. It already happened, complaining about it won't changethe outcome. I brought up the subject as an example of how Lakers forget when they're helped by refs.

nothing's gonna change now.... but the least that the NBA could do is ask TNT to have the 2002 Sac Kings "Gone Fishing" pic destroyed.....
