Interesting Videos I Saw On Youtube About The Playoff Series Last Year With The Lakers


So I was on youtube earlier watching some NBA videos and I came across one called "Deja Vu" and it was about our playoff serious last year with the Lakers. It is an interesting video if you have prior knowledge of accusations that the series between the Lakers and Kings in 2002 was fixed. I have included the "Deja Vu" video. Their is another seris on youtube called "The Worst Tragedy in Sports" but i didn't include the whole thing as it has 9 parts to it. I ask that you please leave comments because this is a very sensative topic concerning NBA conspirisies.


Keep in mind that David Stern is now heavily fining players and coaches for bashing NBA officiating. There is a reason for that, we just don't really know what it is.

whats the problem with the Sacramento and LA series?

these videos aren’t pleasant to watch with all of the orchestrated music. id only seem interested when live feed starts.

haha if someone can explain the whole deja vu concept of this cause im lost. is it deja vu just because calls favored LA?

yEAH

Im surprised you couldnt pick that up yourself. Anyways, that was probably one of the best series ever. Kobe should have been suspended though. I cant wait til the season starts.

Did you know Eric Berry was asexually produced by Chuck Norris?

That and the overall class of the Flakers

yea he should've been suspended but

due to the politics in the nba it didn’t have a chance of happening. that elbow was intentional and it was above the shoulders. had the roles been switched and artest threw the elbow he would have been ejected, fined, and suspended.

Deja Vu because

Adelman was coaching the Kings in the 2002 WCF when in the infamous game 6 the Lakers shot 27 FT’s in the 4th quarter. The refs took over that series and it seemed to be the same sort of thing in the series with the Rockets last year just not to that extent.

i believe the fouls were called on us because it was Artest.

and fouls are always called on bigs like yao.

but iuno haha

What a league that had a ref go to prison for game fixing could have questions about the integrity of officiating?

How is that possible?

The thing is, I think Donaghy is probably telling the truth. All the effort to additionally smear and deny whatever he says is interesting to me. Everyone thought major league airhead Jose Canseco was full of crap, just being vindictive and bitter, but it’s turned out he is almost completely accurate so far. Donaghy strikes me as a similar figure, like Canseco I don’t think he’s bright enough to make up something plausible, so he’s simply told what he knows.

Donaghy actually went

to prison for gambling on some games he officiated in, not for fixing games. The FBI concluded that he did not influence the outcome of any game he officiated and that’s how he got his sentence so heavily reduced. Just to clear up any misconceptions of why he went to prison.

by batman713 on May 7, 2010 12:21 AM CDT up reply actions  

Fair enough.

Nice to know they couldn’t prove game fixing. Doesn’t mean he didn’t try.

These videos...

Made me crave this coming season something awful. I think last year’s playoff series was more about Houston’s valiance than it was the fact that LA was going to get the breaks anyway based on the fact that we had Artest.

Also, I have to agree with the Donaghy comment. He most likely is 100% honest about it. In all matters the NBA has tried to sweep it all under the rug. Conveniently ignoring small point spreads are easily influenced by refs. I’m convinced the agenda and game swaying is 100% legit. Houston played out of its mind last year and barely got the shaft (Blowout losses went both ways).

I'm always right, this isn't conjecture, merely statement of fact.

We were built to beat the Lakers last year though (if no injuries).

Yao and Deke to match Gasol and Bynum
Battier and Artest to exhaust Kobe.
T-Mac to draw the other teams attention.
Brooks to burn Fisher with his speed.
All around bench to match Odom and no one.

Interesting

I don’t know if there was a conspiracy, but I do remember feeling shafted by the refs at multiple points during last year’s series. I think it’s the worst to watch all of the bad foul calls and poor calls in general in quick succession like that, but I can’t be sure that those are any more pro-Laker than the refs always are.

All these boundaries - Africa, Asia, Malaysia, America - are set by men. But you don't have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man - at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a leader? -Hakeem Olajuwon

Yea.

I like how he makes that extra effort to push Scola

by joshsm07 on May 7, 2010 11:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

definitely

the lakers got lots of help from the refs. That’s why I liked it so much when the rockets pushed them to the 7th game.
and remember the supposed lakers-cavs finals everyone was talking about?
