NBA officials for Lakers-Rockets Game 6
By Jon_Campbell
Posted 1 hour, 47 minutes ago

An unnamed source has informed Covers.com that Mark Wunderlich will be on the floor as part of the officiating crew for Thursday's Game 6 between the Lakers and Rockets.

Most will remember - especially Mavs - Wunderlich was the official who made the non-call on Antoine Wright six seconds before Carmelo Anthony made the game-winning 3-pointer for the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 against the Dallas Mavs.

The NBA issued an apology just hours after the game saying Wunderlich should have made the foul call on Wright, which would have given Denver the ball out of bounds. Instead, Melo hit the shot and you know how the rest goes.

Rockets listed as 8-point dogs and the total is set at 197 for Game 6,

You might want to wager at your own risk on this one. But we're probably also safe to infer that Wunderlich isn't going to pull up on his whistle on any 50-50 calls so we can expect a decent number of free throws in this one.

We were only really afraid that the relaxed LA life style has affected our players hunger. They are already millionaires and there are too many beaches, playboy bunnies and movie stars for our players to not get distracted

that's why LA won 60+ games this season, most of them home games.

lets not get too comfortable with pre-made excuses about the refs. The last game in houston we didn't get calls or hit our shots and the result were the rockets kicking our azz. Game 5 was the opposite with us winning. I agree that the refs are rarely consistant on both ends but usually if your able to play throug it you will be fine. If anything the fact that we were never afraid of your team end up biting us in the azz.

I wont say that I want yall to win tonight but will say that I'm glad you are giving us a fight which will benefit us as we move on to meet denver and more than likely cleveland.

Their secret weapon is Crawford, so let's at least take solace in the fact that he won't be there. He'd likely be there for a game 7 though, just to make sure we go down.

If you get beat by 40. Who officiates the next game will probably have no effect on the outcome. We are clearly over matched without Yao and McGrady. All we can ask for tonight is another emotional ride that leads to a win. But at this point..I think we have probably asked too much of this team. I am never surprised by them but I think they have given us all they have.

At this point, all we want is a passion game, those guys on court already gave all they have.
win, we laugh and battle the Fakers in 7
lose, we shall be grateful for this good season, keep our heads up and move on.
