The Lakers sure got the benefit of the officiating, especially in the 4th quarter.
No difference.
On a night where the world was watching and the league had a chance to regain some much needed credibility, it turns into a Wrestlemania bout for the le.
Lakers win by 4 points; finish +20 in free throw attempts.
Kobe Bryant is awarded the same amount of free throws as the entire Boston Celtics team….
Did you expect anything different? Honestly? Watching poor Doc last night was like analyzing a lab specimen's last movements before the pimply faced high school kid starts dissecting it. He had no chance under the bright lights of Staples. The NBA wouldn't dare disappoint their Hollywood a-list buddies.
Whenever the Celtics pushed back, whistle blown, free throw line for the purple and gold.
Kudos to the Celtics for keeping is so close but when you're competing against a pre-determined outcome, how do you win?
The Lakers le means about as much to a a pure sports fan as John Cena winning the WWE le.
The questions this morning should not be centered around Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers 'legacy', they should be about who is the better sports entertainment promoter; David Stern or Vince McMahon?
I say Vince- his outcomes are at least less predictable.
The Lakers sure got the benefit of the officiating, especially in the 4th quarter.
I thought the Celtics got worn out from playing defense and stagnated on offense. They couldn't score for long stretches and let the Lakers back in the game. But I'll admit, seeing Joey Crawford out there always suggests the possibility of an agenda by someone, and usually him.
well what u expect when ur playing at staples the most lopsided arena in all sports officiating...this is just like the 3peat lakers years
Stop watching then.
Basketball is a great game, but the schematics of it just give refs too much power over momentum, etc. Especially when they pull a GD 180* in the middle of a game....conveniently.
lol @ being able to solve the ref situation so easily (turn into Hitler and rule with iron first) and still using refs who have fcking proven they are biased in the past.

I pretty much have stopped watching. It's a joke now.
If only Sheed could get his hands on a steel chair
this is not a surprise---i rewatched the 2nd half---and it is blatantly obvious--
the celtics had a 13 point lead and their defense was dominating---
then all of a sudden---call after call after call---first to put the lakers in the penalty---
and it almost didn't work---because the lakers kept missing free throws---
but eventually the celtics got worn down---
garnett drives---gasol hits his hand/wrist---no call---
on the other end---gasol gets the same amount of contact----actually less contact---it is a foul...
on & on
4th qtr---lakers in the penalty---shooting free throws---from the 6:45 mark til the end---
gasol traveled---no replay review ---nothing---basket counts
rondo gettting hacked, pierce getting hacked,garnett, baby---all of them getting hacked repeatedly----no calls
lakers---any minor contact---foul-foul-foul....
in the last 20 minutes of the game---lakers shot 25 FREE THROWS
20 MINUTES----25 FREE THROWS---20 MINUTES----25 FREE THROWS---
FOR ONE TEAM---25 FREE THROWS
2002 VS. SACRAMENTO KINGS---27 FREE THROWS IN THE 4TH QTR ALONE
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
Something has to be done---it is us the fans that are being robbed---i say it is time to plan some kind of an action against the NBA=WWE
Agree With Everybodys Posts...... Refs Control this Game way to much..... Game 7, the world is watching..... We are Watching the Players, not the refs.... The NBA Should do something about this..... its Terrible
It's sad. Kobe shoots 6-24 FG, the Lakers as a team shoot below 33% and are still handed the game. That was one of the worst performances (both by a team and an individual "Finals MVP") in NBA Finals history. Joey Crawford is now in Salvatore / Bavetta territory with this abomination.
At this point it's just a disgrace to sports in general. Can't wait for the NFL season to begin.
Two games of the finals were officiated by Joey Crawford.
Enough said.
You gotta be pretty stupid to watch this kind of stuff.
There was a game last night?
It's like I've said before Joey Crawford is David Sterns hitman, this man is always surrounded by controversy. I called it during the game, I told my boys watch Boston is up right now but somehow LA is gonna get back in it. It's all part of the scrpit LOL.
They should at least allowed for John Cena to run the Laker's point, and given the Big Show to play center for the Celtics.
except wwe is sometimes unpredictable.....
done 3 years ago!
btw.: I was pretty clever this time...knowing what will go on, I bet some money on LA!
you just have to know, how to beat the system!
no further comment
It's soccer time es. Come on Algeria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
