Nah, that was all immaterial. Besides, we beat them in 6 anyway. Lakers were flat out handed a game they didn't deserve and it was the difference in the series.

Even if we lose game 3 (which we wouldn't have and didn't need the refs help to win), we still would have won the series in 7. If the Lakers lose game 6, series is O-V-E-R.

I can't believe the butthurt from Laker fans over Rob shoving Nash into the scorer's table when their team did the exact same kind of shit. I remember in Game 1 of the 03 Spurs-Lakers series Horry went and slapped David Robinson in the nuts right in front of the Spurs bench once the game was out of reach, to try to provoke a reaction. Robinson shot his free throw and that was it. In Game 4 of the 2000 series between the Suns and Lakers I remember Rick Fox trying to start a fight with Cliff Robinson to try to get him suspended after Robinson had been torching the Lakers all night. Only the 2007 Suns were retarded enough to fall for these trollings though. Fuck them, they have no one to blame but themselves. And thank you Steve Nash for doing Horry's work for him with that flop.

of course we did and so did you guys.... but to say that we "HAD HELP" from the refs without any proof other than just visual speculation and a confession from a junkie gambler than you have no base to say that the lakers 02 finals are rigged. if you are gonna use that excuse than we can use that excuse for every championship title game dating back to inception of the NBA.

get over it... the lakers are the 02 champs just like the spurs are the 07 champs.

not to mention the fact, that if you follow to the letter of the rule, nash should have gotten at least Ted up for his "retaliation", running up and trying to get at horry.

i can't believe people still get pissy about the suns players getting ejected. the precedent was set a few seasons before during the knicks/heat playoff mini-brawl.

also, wasn't that the series where he and tony bumped heads, and blood was gusing from his nose? i can't help but notice the refs forgot all about the magic johnson rule the entire 4th qtr and i believe overtime.



but back to the original topic. its done. its over. nothing is ever going to come of the "rigged" game. if the NBA hasn't addressed it by now, it never will.

At least 4 of those plays were just the announcers sucking off the Suns. The difference between the two is that everyone loved the Suns and hated the Spurs. What would the NBA have to gain from sending the Spurs to the finals? I sweep of Lebron James.

Stern is on the record as saying the Lakers being in the finals is good for business. There is no comparison between the two series and the two teams.

yes he flopped (just like all players) he exaggerated the call but he DID get checked by Horry. which instigated the players coming off the bench which led to a suspension. so with the ongoing logic with this thread and that being said.. In any case flop or not the move Horry made was illegal...

Yeah, he had a hard on for us. He was bashful about it, but, he seethed. But, like Utah in the mid-80's Sacramento made a conscious decision to cast their lot with the officiating and canvas them constantly over a 7 game series.

I still think the Spurs win that series regardless whether they are suspended or not, but it's over with now so I will just let it rest unlike Suns fans.

Game 4 is the game that Nash got hip checked and the Spurs were up 2-1 basically at the time (Could have gone up 3-1). Where did you get Suns going up 3-1 if they don't get suspended? They missed game 5 not game 4, atleast get facts right before you speak on something.

I just remember wedging thru the oleanders up at this cabana bar outside the mall trying to get a peek at the TV monitor and praying I'd find the Spurs triumphant (Girl had run me off from the house for turning the TV on & off constantly) "Dale, you're not going to ruin it for these children!"---Then it just was like a mirage...Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili sitting 3 across being interviewed, grins on their faces. I boogied on home, grabbed the boys (Girl wouldn't go.) "You should be ashamed, Dale." and we went to Red Lobster to celebrate.

I do have my facts somewhat right. Game 3 was the donaghy game. Phx lost, game 4 they won. Suspension in game 5 they lost. A possibility they could have gone up 3-1??? Of course I don't believe in stupid conspiracies like the op here. U guys won the series just like the lakers in 02

I agree with you man, if a team is close enough to pull off a win in a game then I don't get into all of this refs won the series crap for such and such team. Tim did game 3 I remember now, they lost game 3 and now their fans blame the game on the refs because he was in there although he was not the one making bad calls in that game from what I remember (Youtube video showed it as well).

Kings blew a damn 24 point lead in game 4 when they could have gone up 3-1 in the series, they have their selves to blame for letting that huge lead go at home and letting LA tie up the series and putting them right back in it. I agree with you as well as in no * by either series and both teams won so fans need to get over it already and move on.

A game people don't mention is Game 4, which was just as bad as Game 6. There was also a documentary on it.

[midnightpulp]

As Laker hater, and a person who loves shitting on their titles, I have no sympathy for the Kings. 82games.com even did a writeup on the series, analyzing the competency of the officiating (play-by-play) and found the series to be pretty evenly called. Some might argue that it's not which fouls are called, but when, but the Kings also got their fair share of timely and no-calls (Bobby Jackson fouled Kobe on his game-winning shot attempt in Game 5).

The reason I have little sympathy for the Kings is because they flat out choked. Blew a 20 point lead in Game 4, and then Vlade makes the dumbest play in the history of their franchise by back-tapping the rebound TOWARD the 3 point line. You never do that when you have a 2 point lead with seconds remaining. I also think Vlade could've straight up grabbed the ball, but elected to back tap it for some odd reason, maybe hoping time would run out. And then they miss half their FTs in Game 7.

They had multiple chances to put that series away, and gave it away every time.

That said, I do think the Kings beat the Lakers in 5 if Peja was healthy.

[ambchang]

One of the main reasons the NBA refuse to officially make their entire game archive for sale.

Think about it, $2.99 a regular season game, $4.99 for a playoff game, and $6.99 for a Finals game. That's millions of extra revenue for the league with pretty much negligible additional expenses.

The league has already digitized a whole swath of them, so why are they still not available? SGI went bankrupt? Hogwash, they already had half the stuff digitized already a few years ago, and they should have been completed by now. Really, who doesn't want to see Wilt in his prime so that people can really compare him to Shaq? How about the Wilt 100 point game? Havlicek steals the ball? See Baylor and David Thompson and Dr. J soar the air before Jordan ruled it? How Magic passed the ball on fast break and how he put up a 42 point/15 rebound/7 assist game in the Finals as a rookie?

[Caltex2]

The Kings may have choked in Game 7 but it shouldn't have even come down to that. You can do a so called statistical analysis of the officiating but anyone who watched that game as a sports fan knows what happened. Game 4 is the one that needed a good look back on later by comparison.
