Since David Stern is more interested in his pocketbook rather than a league where the best team wins - who hired him and who can decide his fate?
I gotta say...this game was properly officiated. Some calls swung their way (terrible Flagrant call) Some calls swung our way (Wafer leaning into Vujacic for three free throws)
I don't think anyone can fire Stern I think he is The god of the NBA. the only thing that really protects the palyers is their union. Which is nowhere near as strong as the players union for the MLB.
That call on Ron was a bad call but the game was called pretty good. Ron has a bad reputation, the Refs didn't want to let it get of hand.
Fact of the matter: 1. Kobe should be serving time for what he did to Kaitlin. Money is nice is guess. 2. Kobe, absent the felony, should not be playing tonight. He elbowed Ron in the head. 3. Kobe, absent the Ron thing, should not be playing tonight, as he kneed Battier in the head. 4. Absent all of the above, a whistle should blow, per the rulebook, every time two Laker hands touch Yao at the same time. That doesn't happen. The outcome is predetermined. Sell your seats. Watch another sport.
EASY. get chinese government to say to nba:"stern fired or nba banned from china" and stern is bye bye
Other than the last minute Artest play, I agree, tonight's game was called fairly, but overall the series has not been. That's my point. Kobe kneed and elbowed Battier and got nothing. Fisher's foul was probably one of the worst fouls I've ever seen and he got the same sentence as Rafer? Kobe elbowed Artest and Artest got ejected? Artest blocked Gasol's shot and got ejected. It's not coincidence, it's conspiracy! The LOVE of Money is the Root of all kinds of EVIL. I Timothy 6:10 (and David Stern is it's biggest proponent).
Look, the Lakers had game 2 gift wrapped and placed under a sparkling evergreen tree for them to wake up to and take. the tag said: to lakers, from david stern. If the rox are not the recipient of heavily biased calls in their favor on sunday afternoon, I am writing a letter to mr stern. Dallas series (one foot out of bounds when tipping ball in), utah series (moving screens infinity) and now los angeles (inconsistent calls) again. You have got to be kidding me NBA.
Please quit blaming everything on kobe. The truth is that he is greatest player in the world and he was hitting his shots. And he was hot again. bad part on our side is that Rockets werent hitting theres and we cant blame anybody but ourselves. On top of that turnovers killed us.
If they call the game biased in the home team's favor while in LA, I expect that would do the same in Houston!
