This has been a very close and good game. Rgardless of the Fouls and all of the BS, it's been enjoyable for me. I know a lot of people who will complain about the fouls, But I too, am a Sacramento Kings fan. ANyone else like it?
Agreed [with the original post]. On the officiating, to me, this has been a horribly officiated game but its gone both ways. Webber got away with a few fouls also. Big disaster from an officiating standpoint. Go Kings!
Funny idea I would like to point out..... <B><I>Bill Walton,</i></b>We all know Bill. He is such a character. Here is what he said and I quote,<I>That was a great idea by Funderbuke.........Shaq was just cruising on defense......."</i> Yet only 3 minutes before that Chris Webber was ripping down 18 footers in Shaq's face, While Shaq was out by the FT line defending him and being very unsuccessful at it. BILL, Did you graduate HS? Because you need to learn to hear what you say and comprohend to that. Maybe its short term memory.
If the Lakers win this series, I may be done with the NBA. I've never seen a more desperate effort from one crew of officials to win a game. Divac's 5th apparently was for standing with his hands up. With the Kings up one with two minutes, Christie doesn't touch Kobe... foul. Kings down 3, minute or so left, Bibby goes straight into the defense on a runner from the right side and is hammered... nothing. Then of course Kobe elbowing Bibby straight in the face right in front of an official... nothing. I hope and pray that this game was fixed merely to get a game 7 for NBC, and that NBC will let the players play in that game. If it comes down to who actually plays better, the Kings will win easily.
Sac-town was UP because of the calls the refs WOULDN'T make. I gues you failed to notice that shaq, power player, has been turned essentially into a finesse player this series...
GB, dude, thats post-game Cat. You should know better. Remember all his complaints about the refs after games in the Sprs series? You have to give him a while to simmer down. Its quite sad, really, that someone could blame the refs in such a fairly called gam...okay, I can't keep this up. This game sucked. The refs need to pocket those whistles and let whoever plays better, win. Though, I do have to admit that although I really don't like the Kings, its about time Shaq started picking up some of those offensive fouls.
