Correct... I only watched the last few minutes, and it was totally outrageous... The Kings were totally robbed... that last elbow not only should have been a foul.. it should have been a technical as well... THE REF WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT IT, and just swallowed the damn whistle...

The big honchos may also not be interested in having a team "that looks like the community" play for a title. Who knows?

I notice no one talks about game 5 when Bobby Jackson pulled Kobe's shirt out of his shorts and then hit him in the face on the last shot of the game! Also, the defensive player (Bibby) needs to give the offensive player enough room to move...and I don't suppose anyone caught Bibby's right arm wrapped around Kobe's back when he got hit in the nose. The calls and non-calls are going both ways in this series...

It isn't like this refereeing is a new phenomenon - The Bulls benefited from the "Sixth Man in Stripes" for years. All that remains is for Shaq to bite off Webber's ear. What a joke.
