the referrees were obvioulsy instructed to let the lakers win...

..unbelievable calls and NON calls

the Lakers did not win....the game was given to them by the nba.

gee, do you think 28 free throws in the fourth quarter were enough for the lakers?

Go call a cop.

[jdontom]

Oveously the Refs called the game in LA"s favor

The last non call was Bibbys blody nose. Unbeleaveable.

Oh come on Cherry, what could you be suggesting????

I mean it's not as though anyone or any network would benefit from a Game 7....

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I agree. The refs in LA are known for giving star treatment to star payers, and they admit it. Sad for the sport.

That's the way I saw it and it was pretty obvious. The officiating in the NBA continues to be an open scandal. If this game was called fairly Sacramento would have won easily. The refs call the game as they feel it, instead of how they see it.

[A CA Guy]

Do you think it was a make-up game given for the last game where the refs took it away from LA? The game before this one had the last four ref calls make a gift to Sacramento.

In general I think the refs STINK~!

Could NOT have been more obvious, do they really think we're all that stupid???

Do you think:

1. allowing Webber to hit the ball out of bounds and then give it to the Kings;

2. allowing Webber to knock Fisher on the ground during a moving screen to free Bibby for his final shot; and

3. allowing Jackson to undress Kobe and hold his arm, preventing him from driving and disrupting his shot

was enough to win Game 5 for the Kings?

Don't whine to me about fouls that should have been called in any game in this series.
