Yeah, and he shouldn't have been thrown out in either of them.

[Clutch City 01]

That was clearly a Tech. for kobe mang...he tryina act all gangsta in houston, he even cut Ron- rRon's mouth open....should have been a Flagruant foul to say the least...that shit is unacceptable and just flat out dirty play!!!


kb Should have been ejected!!!

[iggypop123]

at least in baseball its the players juicing. here its not even the players. its out of their hands

[Killakobe81]

I agree


But despite the bad officiating, Rockets are doing well

[Spurs16212]

This league is all money driven..... Look at the Houston-Los Angeles series..... Come on now, Houston does not have near the talent that Los Angeles has and we are possibly looking at a seventh game, please. Especially with no Yao and no McGrady.

Game 5 - 40 Point Laker blowout
Game 6 - 16 Point Rocket Halftime lead....

56 point swing..... The crowd is not that much of a factor.

[manufan10]

The League would definitely benefit from a game 7 in LA.

[pawe]

Blame Stern, he's the puppet master.

[Armando]

Is a joke. It's ruining the NBA.



Cue the violins

[Hooks]

A Laker fan doesn't have the right to complain against the refs. Not after all these years.

There shouldn't have been a technical on Artest in that one game and Kobe got away with that elbow. Kobe's T this game makes up for the one in the other game with Ron :p:

[baseline bum]

LA should have won this series in 5 with Olajuwon, Calvin Murphy, and Rudy T officiating it.

[Jacob1983]

Do you think Stern will suspend Rafer kissing a ref?

[BRHornet45]

sons the NBA is looking more like the WWE every year ... it is simply entertainment now. not a legit sport.

[Tmac&Luther]

Is a joke. It's ruining the NBA.

Umm...does anybody else find it absolutely fucking hillarious that some idiot Laker fan is bitching about officiating when no other franchise in the history of the league has benefited from more calls then their team has. :rollin

5 words.....

please S.T.F.U.

Officiating isn't the reason why your faker of a team is where they're at (for godsakes D. Stern even called in the cooler J. Crawford when during a must win game 2) the complete lack of heart and toughness is why your team is going to a game 7.....

P.S.

Don't worry...Stern has already grabbed the bat phone and called in the fix for game 7...no way he'll let anybody fuck up his Kobe/LoBron wet dream (which BTW NIKE has already started advertising with their muppet commercials...hmm, makes you think)

Phil’s take on Nuggets: Their series should be still going

May 14th, 2009, 5:57 pm

HOUSTON — I asked Phil Jackson what he thought about the Dallas-Denver series now that the Nuggets have wrapped it up, and his initial response was telling: “Should’ve been 3-2 going back to Dallas from Denver.”

That controversial ending to Game 3, when Antoine Wright’s foul wasn’t called on the court but was announced by the NBA afterward as a referee error, helped Denver lead 3-0 instead of 2-1. Then Dallas won Game 4, so in Jackson’s mind Denver’s home Game 5 victory Wednesday night should’ve left the series only at 3-2 going back to Dallas.

But Jackson praised the Nuggets, whom he has been saying for a long time have become a legitimate defensive team this season, saying: “Denver stepped up and played well down the stretch and had a real good series.”

Jackson playing mind games as usual.
