Great Vujacic .gif! I bet he thought someone was trying to do one of those neck grab pass out things from his days in the KGB. That's why he flipped.

How arrogant is Stern? You'd think with all of the controversy surrounding the Donaghy thing that Dick Bavetta would be nowhere near game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Oh, wait.

Celts are off to another awfull start ,lets see if they can come back like last game

Coco's Disciples · 06-15-2008, 09:56 PM

And, they did. Down 19 points I think at some point, now down 4.

55-52 lakers at the half, great job by the celts to get back into this one

Good game, still hate the officiating, but hey the Lakers have their backs against the wall at HOME, with the refs on their side, and they still have to fight for it. I expected the celts to be blown out tonight, and no doubt they'll win game 6 back in Boston.

I can't for the life of me figure out how that is a non-call on the Bryant steal. It was right there, in plain view, not an at-the-basket contact play, and it was on the biggest possession of the game. There's no way that's not a foul given the way they were calling the game, and they were calling it tight both ways. It sent the game into fouls/freethrows, and the Lakers hit their attempts at the stripe, so that play was the game. I'll repeat what I said earlier, I can't take this league seriously.

It was the turning point and a horrendous non-call. Similar to you, this type of travesty makes it very difficult for me to commit to this league as a fan.
