stern actually just repaid the lakers a favor for 'basketball reasons'
[QUOTE=DuMa]stern actually just repaid the lakers a favor for 'basketball reasons'[/QUOTE]
"Basketball Reasons" was just an excuse Stern used to make his preference for the Fakers not so obvious to general public. But all intelligent people know the real truth.
Ok i've read the whole thread and im still trying to figure out how Stern made that call despite not being a referree... CRAZY!
[QUOTE=SyRyanYang]Where were you when Stern handed Heat a champion?
The league favors big markets and superstars since...forever.
Totally thread worthy[/QUOTE]
Miami isn't a big market...
[QUOTE=RoundMoundOfReb]If you think it's rigged then why do you watch? I swear according to some of you: LA should be: 0-62 OKC should be: 0-60 Miami should be: 0-60. Everytime one of these teams wins people blame the refs.[/QUOTE]
repped as well

The GOD knows this
Terrible calls for the Lakers down the stretch. The out of bounds call tonight akin to Kobe's travel whistled a foul against ATL (2 free throws for Kobe instead of his turnover).

That was a walk at the end of the game on Kobe vs ATL but he got two frees instead. :roll:
I don't think Heat fans can bitch about it though cuz the NBA would do the same for the Heat..

No such thing as small market in the NBA people will bandwagon the team across the world, ticket revenues make up only a small portion of the total revenue.
OKC is on of the most popular teams in the league while being in on of the smallest markets.

Do you heat ******s not remember game 2 of the NBA finals? When Lebron fouled Durant but it wasnt called? Thunder lost. Or Game 2 of the ECF when Wade fouled Rondo and it wasnt called? Celtics lost. Clear ****ing fouls ****ing ******s.

[QUOTE=livinglegend]Dumb comment. Hornets were playing bad, but it doesnt mean that the refs start calling phantom out of bounds and dont call the obvious fouls in a close game.[/QUOTE]
No, what's dumb is you think one call is the reason that the lakers outscored the hornets 33-9. Maybe if the pelicans didnt guard the wrong ****ing basket on the game deciding possession I would at least give you any credibility. It was a choke of epic proportions, don't blame the refs.
