ya dude if the refs called it right! and if we would of had ariza and buynm we would of won, no doubt about it, that why we won in 10 with a 50% buynm!!!!
"Makes me love the celtics even more." what, because you can only win when the officials hand it to you, and then lose to the miami cheat this season? you should be SO DAMN PROUD.
Damn ESPN commentary. Man Back in the day this would be just Physical Basketball. No Bitchin or crying .Lets just play the game and enjoy watch 80's and 90's Basketball. Real Shit None of this soft ass shit . MJ would have beaten the Celtics with the Laker team that Kobe had.
Laker fans that still complain about the 2008 Finals need to get over it. Despite some questionable calls in Game 2, Boston was the better team that year. It's interesting that no 1 brings up Game 4 when the Lakers gave up a 24-point lead AT HOME (*an NBA Finals record) & lost by 39 2 games later (*also an NBA Finals record). This team didn't show any heart & they deserved to lose.
agreed. Had that game 2 been officiating more evenly then, who knows? Lakers could have taken it. But I don't think it would've made a difference anyway. They weren't going to win a game 7 in boston with Vlad Rad guarding Pierce.
Funny how you didn't show any clips of any of the Staple Center games. i mean yeah the refs were horrible and favored the Celtics in Game 2 but doesn't mean that they were one sided. There were bad calls on both sides.
And you can't fix a 39 point lead. At game 6, the Celtics won by 39 points and both teams got equal Personal Fouls and Free Throws. Plus, they out rebounded and had more assissts than the Lakers at that game. And I'm sure you can't fix that either.
Oh come on now, what about Game 4 in the 2008 NBA Finals? Lakers had all the calls go their way and were up by 24 until the final new minutes of the 3rd qtr. Then Boston's defense kicked in and made stops.
How you gone take snippets of all the bad calls against the Lakers. If you watch the whole game the Celtics had bad calls against them too. This was a blowout and Kobe complains every play even when there is no contact anyway. I bet you wont make a video of all the bad calls against the Celtics in 2010 finals. That would make a 3 hour long movie. Out of all people you got Laker fans complaining bout officiating.
after i saw this video all i can say is wow i really thought that the lakers just lost this finals n im a laker fan but man after seein this either we need new refrees or some penalty becuz they let boston just win this game especially wen it was close becuz the celtics cuda just punched anyone no foul
Dam i had forgotten how bad the calls were in this series. Guess i just got so mad at so many bad calls i turnd off the tv alot and missd jus more bad calls lol.
@MattiasAnderson15 that's what ray allen should have asked the ref if that call wasn't made, and i'm sure you would have too if you were in Ray's shoes.
@sunike07 Rays soft man. Its shown up this year especially cus the game's being calld soft on both ends pretty evenly and he still asking for calls lol. That's not a foul in the finals especially seein the fact that kobe was gettn murdered on jumpers and lay up attempts with either no calls or charges and den gets calld for dat.
Stern wanted to create a storyline. You know Boston was due, feel good story. Similar to why Thunder stole game 3 8v5. FTs for Thunder was insane. Hardly any for the Lakers. All about maximizing profit and Stern is being a tyrant. It paid off because this year Lakers Celtics or Lakers Cavs would provide great storylines. Also, why do you think Lebron lost last year? So now if Lakers play Orlando again, its great again. Whichever way it goes with the Lakers, Stern profits. Insider info.
ill will admit that that celtics defense was insane, but in 20+ years of watching the nba, that was one of the worst officiated games i've ever scene.
The NBA wanted a good story so they had the refs help the celdicks win. ya, its a good story for a team to make such a huge change in one year, but thats messed up! Even the announcers knew!
That 2008 Celtics squad was perhaps the top five most filthy-dirty defensive team in Finals' history (1992 Knicks anyone?)...
It was darn effective, but man those dumb fucks played some sewer underground defense... the Lakers couldn't move at all on the court and the officials seemed to have swallowed their whistles...
i agree with kdnoble25, that was the worst officiating i've seen. i'm no lakers fan, but this is ridiculous! i see fouls made by boston left and right both on offense and defense and the ref wouldn't call it, then a slight contact from lakers and they would call a foul. that was messed up.
The description says Physical Dirty play!!then we have debates about eras lol!This was the norm in MJs heyday but I really didnt see any fouls though the series was called evenly.Bevetta worked that game 5 win for the Lakers.
I don't care what any of you Boston Celtic fans say, that was some bad officiating. Even if I was going for the Celtics I would still say that was some one sided calling there. I'm not saying LA out played boston, but they had to battle the officials too.
wow its so obvious that mike breen is so afraid of david stern he doesnt want to upset the big bad jew...seriously mike breen needs to take david sterns cock out of his mouth
the refereeing system in the NBA is so messed man i hate it...sometimes superstars get twinky calls aka superstar treatment but then at times a team doesnt get ANY fouls at all...i hate it..esp after the tim donaghy scandal oh my
kobe is just overrated thats all, he lost in the finals twice already, and if you compare officiating in the past was alot more loose, MJ won those titles with no babytreatment from the refs and physical games throughout
shaq lost in the finals twice too. Is he overrated?
Duncan couldn't repeat. is he overrated?
Bird and Magic lost in the finals twice. Are they overrated? Your logic is fucking stupid.
As far as MJ winning titles without baby treatment. He didn't need it since he wasn't facing zone defenses. Zone defense was created as a way for Adolf Stern to protect his guards.
Lakers cud have easily won atleast 2 more games that year.. such a shame!
