Tommy T. has a talk-show in the Bay Area which I listened to on the way home, he said he felt that the Lakers received 95% of all the calls in their favor.
Was there any doubt who Tommy T. was rooting for?
a caller told him that Sacramento shot 21 more free throws in the 7 games. Tommy T. was silent
On another talk-show in the Bay Area an ESPN writer named Wiley said that Sacramento out played the Lakers and that now the bully has seen their own blood. He said the Lakers have three players. He said players like Richmond, Hunter and Walker were basically garbage and contributed nothing. He said Sacramento only has to find tune that team and next year the tables will turn.
I say that there is a lot of bull **** flying around, I do not understand why people have such disdain for Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers? All of these players are good family people, they never put down other players or teams and they respect each other. They are not arrested for drugs, fast women or bouts with the law.
why is it then that they are hated so much, I don't understand that mentality!
The advantage in FT's doesn't really matter. Tom Tolbert is 100% correct in what he said. The Lakers received all the calls that could have gone either way and most of the blatantly bad calls were in their favor.
Everyone is just sick of the Lakers having things handed to them...
They are hated because they keep winning, simple as that. Dynasty envy.
Remember how much you hated the Jazz? Well they only beat the Lakers two years in a row. The Lakers have knocked the Kings off 3 years in a row.
If what you are saying is true than these people are bitter. Sure Samaki, Hunter whatever played like garbage, but what the hell were Doug Christie and Peja Stojakovic? Over payed garbage? Both outplayed by Horry and Fox. I won't even get into the whining about the refs, that happens every year. Doesn't suprise me that Tolbert doesn't check the facts.
Sick of having these handed to them? I'm sick of seeing your team lose. Well no not really...
Tell me why you watched the series since you knew it would be handed to the Lakers? Next time can you tell the refs not to let it go into overtime in the first place? It saves my nerves.
Umm no. Ball wasn't even inbound when that play with Bibby happened. The sequence was like this. Kobe gets away from Bibby, ball is inbound and some other guy fouls Kobe intentionally to send him to FT line. Remember ?

The Lakers were inbounding the ball, not Christie...
Contrary to popular belief, you can be called for a foul before the ball is in play, and Bibby was called for that foul when he tried to hook Kobe to keep his balance....

Please stop rolling those eyes and read what Jemel wrote carefully. What Jemel is saying is that Kobe was fouled by Christy after the ball was inbounded.

Popular belief ? Who said you can't be called for a foul before the ball was inbounded. Stop making stuff up. You sound like Jim Gray, lol. Yes, foul *CAN* be called before the ball was inbounded but it WASN'T. What they called was an intentional foul on Christy to send Kobe to FT line. I agree with you that the foul should have been called before the ball was inbounded but not on Kobe. It should have been called on Bibby for grabing Kobe around his waste. Or did you *conveniently* miss that ?
