NBA Fixed

only 27 free throws in the 4th quarter

yeah, just a coincidence

................................................................................
In one of several allegations of corrupt refereeing, Donaghy said he learned in May 2002 that two referees known as "company men" were working a best-of-seven series in which "Team 5" was leading 3-2. In the sixth game, he alleged the referees purposely ignored personal fouls and called "made-up fouls on Team 5 in order to give additional free throw opportunities for Team 6."

"Team 6" won the game and came back to win the series, the letter said.

Only the Los Angeles Lakers-Sacramento Kings series went to seven games during the 2002 playoffs. And the Lakers went on to win the championship.

At the time, consumer advocate Ralph Nader and the League of Fans, a sports industry watchdog group, sent a letter to Stern complaining about the officiating in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals.

The Lakers, who beat Sacramento 106-102 in that game in Los Angeles, shot 27 free throws in the final quarter and scored 16 of their last 18 points at the line.

OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS SHOCKING...wait, no, hang on, what's the opposite of shocking?

fuck refs

[Peacekpr4]

My biggest memory and funniest moment of the series is when Doug Christie threw up a brick that almost brought down arco arena. Lakers are a great organization but I am on board that the kings and their fans were screwed that day in 2002. I saw a picture of a father and his young son in tears after that game. David Stern is a bandit and nobody likes him. The NBA is a joke and I believe its "heavily regulated" for certain teams to have more success than other teams. Sorry Sac town u got screwed

@kingfish1993: The answer to your question is the same as the answer to Lebron being compared to Jordan: He lacks leadership.

[XxVisceralxX]

@jkbezo: All good points but you left out a crucial one: Lebrons incapacity to deliver under pressure combined with his lack of making it to the FT line.
