I just hate how the NBA really isnt doing much about it. To me it kinda seems like they are setting some series up, just to get 7 games and get more money for themselves. Also my mom told me that her friend, which is one of those bigwig types, has friends that are part of the Lakers, and some word has been going on that Shaq wants to come back to the Lakers next year until he retires. I dont know if that is true but I cant really say im shocked. I don't think the NBA is fixing games but I believe someone or some people in the system try to sway games to help certain teams. It's been rumored that Shaq wants to go to back to LA, but he has also said in the past that he would like to go back to Orlando (I think with Grant Hill). IMO Shaq is going to a contender that is going to give him the most money possible. Good luck to the Cavs fans. I hope for a good game but I'm hoping my Magic get another win. |

Cavs win on a buzzer beater. But they were lucky they didn't go down 0-2

Cavs win on a buzzer beater. But they were lucky they didn't go down 0-2 Don't forget the technical that probably should have been called on LeBron. Shit like this and Rondo getting away with so much has convinced me the NBA doesn't want Orlando to be in the finals. Great clutch shot...even if LeBron should have been ejected much earlier. |

I didn't see the potential missed technical call but according to the Yahoo article written up after the game the T was supposed to be against Williams. "The officials missed what should have been a technical foul on Williams in the first quarter for throwing the ball at Howard’s back." I dunno if thats the one you're talking about or not :3. Anyways that was a damn good game regardless of the officiating. I could feel myself starting to believe that the Magic could win as time went on. Then LBJ crushed everyones hopes for the game with that awesome shot lol. I definitely recorded that shit ^_^.

I guess I shouldn't watch games wasted. |

Another sloppy win for the Magic but at least they won the game even with the refs helping the Cavs.

That game was horrible what a foul fest.. Anyway I hope the Nuggets pull of the win. Though this seems harder to call than past games.

I don't know how many people in this topic watch ESPN2's First Take but this debate pretty much sums up how I feel about the officiating in the Magic-Cavaliers series. btw it is pretty one-sided but imo it doesn't even compare to all the love LeBron gets from ESPN or TNT. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nys_KKHxYQI would also like to say I'm not a LeBron hater but I don't think all the hype he gets is warranted. I'll be the first to say that he is one of the 5 best players in the NBA but I can't say he is the best at the moment. Sure LeBron took his team to the Finals a few years ago but his team also got swept. I will acknowledge James is the best when can either shoot like Kobe, be as clutch as Kobe or Wade, average 10 rebounds in a season, or win a ring. LeBron has the talent to do any of these things and is still developing so I don't think it's unreasonable to ask more from him. |

Nuggets win in a blowout. Would have been a sorta close game but once again, no surprise, horrible calls. Jones fuckin pushing kobe while in air and tripping him and doesnt even get called for a T, fuck not even a foul. I was honestly pretty damn pissed today, not just because the Laker's so called defense didnt do squat, the calls were just annoying. Smith was also taunting at least twice and didnt get called. Im just so tired of being so annoyed with these no calls or horrible calls. |
