the bear hug happened BEFORE the elbow
Rigged games happen, yeah. 27 in 1 quarter, you can't justify it.
the bear hug happened BEFORE the elbow
that can happen if a team got in the penalty really early , and when you have shaq and kobe on that team, its a possibility
What happens if you elbow somebody at any point during the game, even after a foul?
Why did the LAL bias announcers pick up on the bad officiating in the 4th? They would be the last people to admit anything was going on.
The crowd didn't react to fouls like they usually did either. We all knew something wasn't right.
what
but the first contact is what should be called, and it was
im not saying it was a good reffed game lol
Either a technical or ejection. Neither happened, did it?
Playoffs often have bad reffed games but announcers and the crowd lets it go more often than not. It's not normal for them to criticize the game for an entire quarter and the crowd suddenly losing energy when pivotal fouls were called.
either way
Sac town had their chance in game 7 AT home
and how did Sacramento get 20 more FTA in game 3 than a team with Shaq and Kobe in their primes when LA was AT home?
Meh, never said Kings didn't get a little home cooking too. If both teams win rigged games, it doesn't mean the winner had a fair win. You're basically agreeing with me that the series was rigged.
well, if it was rigged, the allegation was to extend the series to 7, not to make one team win a series
wasnt that the allegation?
Up 3-2 and the refs rigged the game for the Lakers. It's really sad that it took all that for Kobe to win with the best player in the game(maybe second best). Sad is a understatement it's flat out pathetic. I guess that's just Mr. 6-24.
BIGGEST CONTROVERSY: The Lakers' 106-102 victory against the Kings in Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference finals
The Lakers had a 40-25 edge in free-throw attempts, including a 27-9 advantage in the fourth quarter alone. "Obviously, [the Lakers] got the game called the way they wanted to get it called,'' Kings coach Rick Adelman said after the game. Convicted referee Tim Donaghy would allege that two of the referees conspired to influence a Lakers victory in order to produce a Game 7, a charge vehemently denied by commissioner David Stern.
If you rig a game to extend a series, you rig it so a team doesn't win a game. Some games were legit, by NBA standards, but it wasn't a true 7-game series. Kings had a chance to finish at 6, but it wasn't to be.
I'm not saying LAL wouldn't win if it was an even game, start to finish. I'm saying they won a rigged series and it wasn't earned(nets were just a give win for either). If Kings won, might as well say the same, although probably to a less degree due to the nature of game 6. It's an asterisk and we can't say whether or not LAL would have won.
It doesn't have much to do with Kobe besides the inbound foul. The whole team had the officiating treatment. I think you focus on Kobe too much.
That wasn't my point but I don't even want to banter with a sensible Lakerfan.

You have excel against all odds
Game 6 was rigged but the Kings could have done something about it. Instead, they choked from the foul line at Arco.
Every team has their cartoon lovers and baby daddiesThat wasn't my point but I don't even want to banter with a sensible Lakerfan.
