Yeah... Rasheed gets a T for staring and didn't Jordan threaten a ref's job on the court if he called a T on him? Isn't there a clip of him daring a ref to call T?
I seem to remember sheer trying to post up a bunch at the start of the 4th and getting hacked every play.... And no calls
There were questionable fouls throughout the fourth quarter. At one point it seemed like we were playing against six Lakers. This after all of the momentum leading up to the game was on our side. We missed a ton of shots. But, were there non-calls on some of those shots. Were we not getting a fair shake on the defensive-end and it got into our heads? You believe what you want. I'll believe what I want. That Blazers' team won it all that year. There, I feel better now.
Right, and remember Smitty getting hammered in the paint and another non-call, which I believe, consequently led to a fastbreak opportunity and score.
Here's another thought. Take away the unfair treatment that year by the refs and would Portland have secured HCA? Would Pip and Sabas have been more rested down the stretch and not have to carry all of the load?
How many championships were handed - arranged? - to the Lakers? It could be argued that Sacramento was screwed as well.
Cow Town should be pissed. Game 6 was the worst officiated game in NBA history. Enjoy those two rings, L*ker fans. They're about as real as the tits on the L*ker girls.
This implies that you believe there was a singular reason. Please explain what that singular reason was. Or admit to faulting in the logic department with an apology.
Really, really interesting analysis by Henry Abbot: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/11340/tim-donaghys-claims-on-trial Excerpt:
Sabas entered that 4th with 3 fouls. He picked up his 4th 5th and 6th fouls in under 3 minutes. One of them was legit, the other two were for getting his face in the way of Shaq's elbows STOMP
Interseting mook... but the FBI investigator did confirm we was winning his bets. How was it happening?
I've run into several Nuggets fans who have a big time beef with last season. Can't say I watched that series though as I now avoid Laker games (outside of Blazer matchups) like they are Canzano links... I'm not supporting BS STOMP
Or the best, depending on where your bread is buttered. I've thought ever since that out of the 'three peat' the Lakers only earned the one in the middle.
