nothing but the homecourt decided this series

@scottb3034 That's bunk. How did the Bulls suddenly get a parade to the line in the 4th quarter despite the Pacers being in the penalty and having the size advantage? Donaghy is full of shit. The Lakers got fouls because like in Game 7 against the Celtics, THEY POUNDED THE BALL INSIDE. All 4th Quarter. Yeah, the pork chop on Bibby was a bad call, but one call for 12 minutes does not a conspiracy make? Did the refs make the Kings miss 14 of 30 FT's in Gm 7? Please. I'm sick of that b/s

Smits had that ball, Jordan had a couple fingers on it, but he's Jordan so it's a jump-ball. That being said the Pacers still forced a Jordan miss they just gave them another look as they did throughout the series

@scottb3034 I thought this years finals was pretty great also, between the Heat and Mavericks. Nowitzki finally got his title while at the same time humbling James. This year was also an intense series.

@Kito343 The Lakers vs Kings series had more drama because it was rigged that way. Tim Donaghy pretty much admitted that the Refs and/or NBA had fixed the series to go seven games with a Laker victory.

There is a youtube series about that allegation and analysis of the questionable calls.

Anyway, while that went seven games and capped a three-peat for the Lakers, this one is better because this was a legitimate battle between two stupendous teams. Not marred in controversy.

I would say that in the 6 championship years, the 92 Knicks, 93 Knicks, 96 Sonics (if George Karl stuck Payton on Jordan from the start of the series) and the 98 Pacers were the only 4 teams to really challenge Chicago.

@joekrupnick2 greatest white boys to ever play.

It's so funny watching the crowd at 8:00min when Steve Kerr gets the ball. They're ready for him to shoot. Man I miss those days.
