    I counted 3 fouls on Kobe by half time

    Didn't he foul Pip on the lay up in the 2nd
    then in the 3rd he only had one foul

    He became a HackaRoid in the 4th [or at least
    they called them ]

    By the end of the 1st quarter . . i knew kobe
    would not come NEAR fouling out. . .

    Game 7 will be worse.

    I am soooo scared of the refs in this Game 7. The NBA has already been screwed by Indiana making the Finals, so look for them to do everything possible to ensure a Laker victory. I see Sabonis getting 2 quick ones in the opening minutes of the first quarter. Trust me on that. Bryant will get a whistle every time he is breathed on, you can take that to the bank as well. This could be a very frustrating game for the Blazer fans. Remember when Hakeem fouled out in the 3rd quarter of the '96 first round matchup of the Rockets and the Lakers? That was when Magic made his comeback, and the Rockets were already up 1-0 on the Lakers homecourt. We still almost won the 2nd game, even though the refs fouled Hakeem out in the 3rd quarter. Think Jordan or Bryant would ever foul out in the 3rd quarter?

    TheFreak,

    You fear tainted officiating. Is it the NBA or Pro wrestling that you are talking about?

    I am going to be rooting SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard for the Blazers tomorrow. That way, I can sit back and read all the excuses as to how and why the big market team didn't get in. The theories will be endless. The excuses will be fun. The explanations will be even better.


    Now, if the Lakers win, I still don't believe in the NBC syndrome that prevails here. I don't watch the X-Files.

    Almu -- good to hear you'll be rooting for Portland.

    Funny TheFreak says that -- look at <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/today/Metro_Sports/Basketball/a-68827.asp">Mitch Lawrence's comments</a> this morning:

    3. Sabonis Gets Into Foul Trouble: No problem here. After he played all but three minutes Friday, and picking up only three fouls along the way, arrangements have been made for Sabonis to get his first two personals as he walks from the team bus into Staples Center.

    Looks like the refs could really be under a microscope today. Portland's already worried about it (from today's LA Times):

    This being a Game 7 between a major-market team and a small-market team, two familiar words are already being pondered by the small-market guys.
    Conspiracy Theory.
    Damon Stoudamire, Trail Blazer guard, acknowledged that the idea has crossed his mind.
    "It's something you think about, sure," he said. "I mean, [the NBA] has already got one small-market team in the finals [Indiana]. Maybe in the back of their minds, they don't want another small-market team."
    He shrugged.
    "But the way we have to look at it is, we have to take it out of anybody else's hands," he said. "If we do what we can do, then that will take the outcome away from anybody else."
    Forward Brian Grant agreed.
    "If it comes down to a bunch of bull calls, then that's where the NBA is right now," he said. "But I believe a lot in the integrity of this league and its referees. And I believe they they will let the players decide."

    Freak- sadly enough, that was right on the money. Down 4, season on the line, Smith hammered by Shaq. Not only was it not a flagrant, there was no call at all. One of what seemed like hundreds of similar incidents in that game. Anyway, put up the asterick!

    Ahem . . . it's "asterisk."

    If you're going to use the word in every post, you might as well bother to spell it right. Or did those paid-off NBA refs steal your dictionary, too? [​IMG]

    Maybe Wrestling has more honorable officials.
