Rigged - Kings vs. Lakers - Game 6

[sirkickyass]

ah hell, I lied, after reading your post I have got to highlight this"
So now you are telling us that the Kings shot 35 more free throws in the series?!?!?!?

Well no, they actually shot 13 more free throws in the series, but 35 more if we eliminate quarter 4 of Game 6.

So you picked one number without looking at the rest. The real points you're missing are that a) we're bracketing the disputed quarter, b) the number of fouls called on each team was basically even despite the free throw numbers you're now highlighting, and c) we would expect the Kings to foul less and shoot more free throws than the Lakers based upon the numbers. My post is meant to provide the fuller context that you claimed justifies the horrendous quarter. That context indicates that the Kings normal play advantages were entirely wiped out by the officiating.

The two teams were equally as good at drawing fouls and getting to the line throughout the season. The Kings were noticeably better at playing defense without fouling and fouling without allowing free throws.

Based upon the free throw attempts allowed numbers we could reliably expect the Kings to allow the Lakers to shoot 150 or so free throws over seven games.

In paralell we could reliably expect the Lakers to allow the Kings to shoot 177 or so free throws over seven games. So a supposed delta of 35 isn't exactly shocking, we'd predict it to be about 27. It would be far more shocking if the number was even. In reality the number was 13, lower than we'd expect based upon season long trends.

It shouldn't be surprising at all that the Lakers allowed the Kings to shoot more free throws overall. That's what we'd expect based upon those two teams performance. If anything the fact that the gross foul numbers were so close is the surprising part and to the disadvantage of the Kings.

So you've provided no support for the argument you staked your entire claim to: that the Kings received favorable officiating in every spot except for one quarter in Game 6. That's just simply not true.

my mistake., didn't catch that.. okay so if you discount that one quarter, the Lakers shot 35 fewer free throws for the rest of the series...
That is still something to consider. I think I provided some support, but I accept that my efforts to persuade you have failed, and concede the battle.

I never argued that.

Sorry, I didn't mean to attack you personally. My only intention was to state a fact, which is that you are a dumbass who doesn't know the difference between your *** and a rock on the ground, let alone have the slightest clue. Next time I will try to be more clear.

Who were Referees A and F? Bavetta, Delaney and Bernhardt were the three guys...which two should we frag?

I'd really like to watch the series again. I'm not sure when I'll have time to do that though.

The Youtube videos are very poor in quality.

I just watched the end of 93 finals game 4.
Jordan with the ball hit Ainge in the face with an elbow.
A foul was called on Ainge. Refs often would call a foul on the guy getting hit with an elbow.

Jazzrule's neg rep comment: "Saw that game and you got nothing!"

So you saw the game one time 10 years ago, without going back and reviewing the tape, and you remember everything perfectly?
Did you see it on TV, or in person?
What specifically are you referring to when you say I've got nothin'?
Did you notice that my posts are not about one game, but about the entire series, as compared to other series?
It seem that you have a reading comprehension issue.

Ha ha, I actually was somewhat partial to the Kings in that era.
Bobby Jackson was one of my favorite players. I liked Christie standing up to Kobe. I had great respect for Bibby's talent. Divacs was entertaining to watch. I was no fan of Kobe or Shaq. It was a long time ago, so i don't remember, but I probably was sympathetic to the Kings like everybody else during game 6. I'd like to be able to see what I wrote on the message boards at that time.

I think it is only recently when I went back and reviewed the series that I realized that it wasn't just Divacs who flopped , played dirty, cried and got lots of calls, the whole team did.

I always liked Bobby Jackson as well.
I remember always wishing the Jazz could get Jackson to back up Stockton in those days.

Super Bowl XL was worse. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/06/four-years-later-bill-leavy-apologizes-to-seahawks/

^^ yup. I thought the super bowl where the steelers were gifted the win against the cardinals was pretty redic too.

After seeing the Dwight trade go down, I kinda think the NBA might be rigged

Let me just say I have a masters degree, so I don't think I have a reading comprehension issue. You sir, on the other hand, have a eye sight issue. Anyone that watched that game and did not believe the game was fixed had to be blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other. I guess a third possible reason is that your a closet Laker homer.
