Haters say the series..especially game 6...were fixed ok? if it were fixed they should've been prepared for game 1 they won game 2 won game 3 should've closed out game 4 and they won 5 the series would've been won to SAC but that did not happen and game 6 may have been fixed but game 7 was in SAC and they failed to close out LA in OT so 1/7 of the series "fixed" when SAC had several chances to close out LA

[RyZombie619]

@BIBLEization amen. but Kings fans will ignore all you just said lol

[LuigiLaker]

This game, on a Friday evening in May, was the first time I was truly scared that the Lakers would lose a series since Game 7 of the 2000 WCF against the Blazers..we "only" ended up losing by 13, 103-90, but the game itself was MUCH more lopsided than the scoreboard would indicate..

[Ser12121994]

1:53 - 2:02 Webber like a PG LOL

MARV!!!

"I wish they would just play and not flop" Shaq

[catucker2]

da kings r such a good passing team especially divac n webber they r so highly skilled

[playoffexpert1]

Im a Kings die-hard, i was born in L.A., and became a kings fan strongly due to that i didnt get into b-ball until i moved to Sac(i hate sac by the way, love L.A. as a city) but i will hate staples center for the rest of my life bcuz my dad worked at the forum and they didnt hire him when they moved, i loved going to the forum, but i'll never say i would've liked to be a lakers fan, not the way the NBA is now, especially in this series (except for this game, got murdered)

Kings>Lakers

[RyZombie619]

i was born in LA as well and moved close to Sac as well but I stuck with my team.

[playoffexpert1]

like i said, i was very young when i left, i have respect for the Lakers in some aspects, (well not now, they take too much credit they dont deserve) but i watched basketball while living there i just didnt get super into it like i did once i moved to sac, and i would never ditch a team i grew up liking, and never will, i just wish LA would get a football team, i would be established for that

[RyZombie619]

OK SO FAR: officiating is ok, two non calls that should have been calls. At 1:21, Kobe is clearly fouled by Christie resulting in an air ball, no call. At 6:36 Fisher is fouled by Bibby, you can see Bibby's right hand hit Fisher's left elbow as he is shooting. No call

[JZ2001JC]

@RyZombie619.  And the Kings beat the snout out of the Lakers this game so its a non issue of your homer sayings of "no calls".

[RyZombie619]

I am not saying that these calls would make the lakers win did I? please, stop putting words in my mouth, i am just pointing out missed calls and i have pointed out some for the kings too. the Lakers played terrible in this game, the Kings played great. I have already stated that so your comments about that are pointless, i already said it.

[JZ2001JC]

@RyZombie619. Easy big fellow. You mentioned supposed no calls that would have favored Lakers. You didn;t mention anything about SAC getting bad benefits from refs on calls.

All I know is the better team loss this series due to being screwed by NBA officiating.

[RyZombie619]

@JZ2001JC that is not a fact. Look, the Kings had bad calls but so does EVERY team. Get that through your head, the refs dont screw a team from winning, if the Kings cant overcome the refs making bad calls here and there then how would they have won against anyone? Kings get bad calls, so did the Lakers, can your conspiracy theory crap. Its not a fact, its a theory, MERE SPECULATION

[javius1220]

@RyZombie619 google it. Donaghy admitted it on live tv that he rigged the game. Speculation huh?

[RyZombie619]

@javius1220 Donaghy was not even an official for the series you mother fucking idiot. look that up!

[JZ2001JC]

@RyZombie619. FYI I am not a Kings fan. This series=Me just wanting to see good basketball.

[JZ2001JC]

LMFAO at :025--Jim Grey reporting how Phil Jackson and Shaq were mad at the officiating. UHM, Didn't the Lakers win this series thanks to the officials?

[RyZombie619]

Ummm, no they didn't. The officiating was not terrible in the first two games, but game 2 had some calls that really helped the Kings, although the Kings did play better than the Lakers in that game. The refs had nothing to do with the Kings losing. And for Adelman to tell Phil Jackson to stop complaining is hilarious since Adelman, Webber, Divac, Bibby and the Kings fans whine and complain about everything.

[JZ2001JC]

@RyZombie619. Dude, the NBA itself even admitted to fixing GAme 6 and many other moments of this series to favor the Lakers. Hexk the NBA states that since the 2000-01 season they have fixed a lot of games, meaning the 2002 LAkers Title has an asterik by it. 2001 okay they just rolled everyone even though they won a few close games that would not have been a big deal for NBA Title but they do not go 15-1 (despite the NBA competition getting very weak in 2000-01).

[RyZombie619]

Dude, the NBA does not admit to fixing game 6 where did you hear such crap?

[JZ2001JC]

@RyZombie619. Have you been living in a cave.  When that Donaughy stuff came out about less than a yr ago This Game 6 was the first game pointed to in the whole fix games thing.

[playoffexpert1]

well it had to be but remember donaghy wasnt directly involved with that game, he had the betting scandal and he got the refs to help him out, but its out of the question which game it is, it has to be game 6, the league wanted the series to extend to seven but that was the only 7 game series that year

[RyZombie619]

@JZ2001JC did you know that guys like Tim Donaghy are convicted felons and are trying to get fame and money?? Like Holocaust deniers, people who claim 9/11 was an inside job, what did Hitler do when he was in prison? He wrote a book that becamse exteremely popular, he became a celebrity from prison, people like Donaghy just want attention and if you are gullible enough to believe him, I pity you

[RyZombie619]

@JZ2001JC Also, Donaghy, wasnt a fuckin official during this game, so why would you take the word of a felon who wasnt there? that makes a whole lot of sense.

[playoffexpert1]

refs did, not the league, Stern will do anything to stay comissioner

[JZ2001JC]

I remember this game. Even though Lakers won the series the Kings on this night the Kings beat the snout out of the LA Lakers in Staples.

[Humtuer2]

Kings aganist the Nets would've been a sick NBA finals

[castaway50]

@Humtuer2

It would have been the ultimate battle of the "Princeton Offenses"--lots of dunks and great passing

[RyZombie619]

oh yah cuz you know Kobe and Shaq, they never dunk right?

[playoffexpert1]

idk about that, kings lack of experience maybe woulda caused them not to sweep the nets, but they probably woulda beat em in 5

[RyZombie619]

their inability to have composure and not talk to the refs after almost every call is a problem though. even the people that aren't kings fans or lakers fans said the kings whined all the time. and this was before the supposed "fix"

[ilike222]

Great series, sad memories for me at least. Go Kings!

[hitmancoolio]
