Might sound off-topic bu tin our context, it's so nice to see David Stern having his priorites set straight. They investigate a stupid fire that delayed a game yet will turn the other way about an obviously blown call that has the tape to back it. I'll wager anything if it was LeBron on the other side of that call they would call for a repaly of the game, though with Lebron the refs probably wouldn't have the balls to even make that wrong call.

This is a league that wouldn't give the Raptors back their point that was scored legally and just wasn't put on the scoreboard and would've turned a 4 pt game into a single possession game in the final minute.

The league clearly doesn't care about small market teams like Orlando and Toronto. Thus when we matched up in the playoffs, NBATV ftw.

The NBA cares about the small market teams, it's just that they care more for the glamour markets.

I didn't hear about this. Can you elaborate, ORL?

The NBA has become a load of BS... Nothing like the good old 80's-90's ... Only if Stern could get his head out of Lebrons, Lakers and Celtics asses... Trying to bring back old rivalries, why not bring back the game of bastketball with all this floppers now days and this "superstars" wanting to be thoughs... and all this refs betting and obviously havinf preferences... HOW ABOUT SOME FREAKING ETHIC MR STERN!? anyways /endrant

Wowww...
That's terrible.
For the record, the Lakers don't nearly as many breaks as you would think. Kobe gets fouled more than a truckstop restroom but he doesn't get a call unless he's isolated or they almost strip his jersey off.
And don't forget all of the suspensions he's gotten...

for things LBJ doesn't even get called for a FOUL on...
