Remember 2002 Playoffs Kings Vs Lakers....


same things happens... History repeats itself ... Lakers always being given leniency by the Refs


and of course Lakers fans will try to say... STOP SAYING 2002 playoffs.... because deep inside they know its true... REFS are helping their sorry team to win.

The answer to that lies in the fact that refs get nervous too.  It's the last seconds...they don't want to call anythign that can change the outcome.  Of course, NOT calling that changes the outcome too.  I am a ref and I know its natural that sometimes you swallow your whistle when you shouldn't.  That was a terrible missed call.

Ever since Tim Donaghy went on a leave of absence,  the calibre of officiating in the NBA has gone steeply downhill.

i know where you're coming from the Lakers get away with misdemeanors sometimes. but if the opponent even breaths on them wrong they get the whistle. Trust me i'm a Suns fan i've noticed it for a long time
