This series is over tomorrow people.........book it, and bet on it. The fact this is even news has got to be pissing off the old man pretty bad, we all know Stern can be vindictive....ask the T-Wolves they know all too well.

[TylersLakers]

It was probably Sonny Weems or something.

[realfung]

non-sense. I think it takes a lot more to pay a ref now to get a win in this situation.

[KObe Bryant]

you're so damn right, Tony. He's just a fu**kin' loser.

I think the point he (the player) was trying to make was Phil Jackson being able to easily manipulate the refs with just a few words and 50 grand. May be that was the strategy George Karl was trying to follow in the press conference, lets see how it works for them.

did karl get fined by the league or not

[TonyMontana]

you're so damn right, Tony. He's just a fu**kin' loser.

No kidding, and this guy actually thinks he's on the same level as P.J .
Its funny though Phil got fined for his remarks but Georgie Porgie didnt, I guess they're not going to win tonight

[SnakeEyez]

Dont worry Joey Shiny Head Crawford will tell us who it was, by handing him 2 techs, a flagernt foul, and 5 quick fouls and tossing him out of the game.

Who ever that was just dug him a grave. I swear Stern will have him killed lol.

I thought the officiating was pretty favorable to us last night. I can't blame the Nuggets, I would be pissed, too.

Esp. Nene, he got jobbed.

I thought it was pretty even. The calls and the non-calls.

On Nene's 5th foul, you can't expect to overly push someone and have him nearly falling down then cry about it later.

On his 6th foul, you can't expect to play half-ass **** defense by flopping and expect the refs to bail you out in the 4th qtr of the WCF.

The refs made a statement that moment, to play some real D without half-assing it or playing dirty. Besides those fouls, guess why they let everything else go. I thought it was great. Everything was cleanly played just the way it should be.

Agreed that for the most part the players were allowed to play. Kobe and Melo took their hits without getting calls so that was a wash.

But Nene got jobbed. No two ways about it. The fifth foul was complete BS. He hardly even pushed Pau. It was two big men positioning. Terrible call.

The 6th foul was understandable b/c it was more of a flop by Nene and then his flop caused Pau to trip on him.

You just can't take one teams best big man out of the game on positioning fouls, I don't like it whether it happens to Bynum or an opposing player. Its bad officiating.

this rumor is a flat out lie

I never got a kickback.
