<< The kings missed free throws during the entire lakers/kings playoff series. If the kings had made their free throws in game #4, then the kings might have won the series in 5 games. The kings missed their free throws in game #4, which was part of the reason the kings blew their big lead in game #4. The kings lost game #4, partly because they missed their free throws in game #4. >>



Damn dude...let this go. Games can be won even missing freethrows. Games can not be won when refs alter the outcome of a play that was the difference in the game. If we where to somehow re-play this series with the shot clock rules they have now starting next year, the refs would have looked at the play, changed it, and the Kings would have won NO MATTER IF THEY MADE THE FREETHROWS OR NOT!!!!! You are right in saying that the Kings had a SECOND chance at destiny even after all the crap the refs dished out, I agree with you there. But where I don't agree is that is not where the blame lies for the Kings losing the series cause if we could re-play it under current rules they would have won it...with or without the damn freethrows.
