I keep hearing all this garbage from Lakers fanatics and Stern cronies that to beat the champion you have to "knock them out." Since when does knocking off a defending champion involve knocking off three referees as well?
You guys can call Webber a whiner if you want, I don't care, but if you had to play against a great team like the Lakers and you didn't get a fair shake, you'd be just as frusterated. Just as the Blazers felt in 2000 and the Sixers last season.
The Lakers are a great team, but the Kings are a Better Team. Unfortunately for Bibby, CWebb, and CO. all that matters is that the Lakers are the Lakers and they play in LA.
Yes, The Kings should have won Game 7, they should have made their free throws. But it should not have come to a Game 7. Kings took that series in 6.
I still can't believe the camera shot of Bibby being elbowed in the face by Showbe, the Ref is staring right at it, and he calls the foul on Bibby.
Right Now, pro wrestling is a lot more real than the NBA, because at least they acknowledge the outcome is pre-determined.
