How many'you really Really REALLY believe IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS that David Stern has ordered referees to favor calls for the Celtics and the Lakers to get them into the finals so the finals ratings will be large?
The Lakers won the title fair and square in 2001 but I saw those games and I remember those games and TO THIS DAY i am telling you - the 2000 and the 2002 NBA Championship was just GIVEN to the Lakers.
Rick Fox flat-out shoves a King out of bounds and it's Lakers ball?
Shaq clearly fouls someone and should have fouled out on it but somehow the foul is called on Robert Horry who didn't even make CONTACT and wasn't anywhere NEAR them!?
Steve Smith drives to the lane and is fouled head on and nothing is called and then the Lakers get the ball and win it at the buzzer?
Heck, I hate to say this but Michael Jordan PUSHES OFF on Bryan Russell and knocks him down and hits the game-winner.
THAT'S AN OFFENSIVE FOUL.
I'm a die-hard Bulls fan...i love Michael Jordan but that still doesn't make it NOT an offensive foul. That play was an offensive foul!
To those who disagree, if that's Bryan Russell and Jordan is the one guarding him and Russell does that same move would that have been a foul? You better believe it.
But since it's a big-time market and the other team is a small market, the calls have been known to go that way.
I'm not trying to take anything away from the Bulls because unlike the Lakers last "dynasty" the Bulls were a team that came to play every night unlike the Fakers.
But I'm just saying......!!
