Someone reach John Black and show him this! He can get it to the League Office.
Probably not the video.. the remixes and clips are illegally reproduced and distributed (no permission sought from the league to use them).. whoever did it probably doesn't want to get in trouble with the league.
i tried uploading this video on google video and they REJECTED IT!!! they said it was either pornographic/obscene or violated copyright or something....
It most certainly does violate the NBA's copyright, but I still appreciate the work. _________________ Game recognize game, Granddad. - Riley Freeman, The Boondocks

obscene is one way to put how the refs have treated the lakers as of late... _________________ "I define success by championships, by winning..." Kobe Bryant

This reminds me of the 2004 Finals, except the whole team was the target then. The Cavs game was so despicable that even the announcers and the media around the country were taking Kobe's side. _________________ David Stern and NBA Officials <-- 2004 NBA Champions

nice job the only one u missed was when kobe missed the jumper with 55 secs left and gooden held luke from getting the ball and the refs gave the ball out of bounds to the cavs _________________ "When (Kobe) gets you on life support, he won't give you mouth to mouth. HE PULLS THE PLUG." -stu
man. I feel really sick watching this!! Several times Hubie and his partner have pointed out the OBVIOUS fouls not just once or twice. This is getting RIDICULOUS. These arent questionable fouls, but an obvious FOULS. I really got pissed when lamar odom had no call but murrary gets the foul to seal the deal when he was really out of controland slipped by himself. SOMEONE PLEASE report this. Just makes me really sad Kobe who is a 10 year vet gets less respect then Lebron James who is in his 3rd year.
I want to see a mix of the Celtics game. Thats just the funniest thing I have ever seen. And by funny I mean pathetic. _________________ JVG FOR LAKERS HEAD COACH
Seriously, this is absolutely disgusting. What in the world are they watching, I understand they miss a few calls but this is ridiculous. Its happened right in front of the refs. Crazy.
Thanks for this video, its really disturbing. I'm glad that I didn't see the Celtic game as it sounds like it was worse than the Cavs game, which was on national television. Wow, I'm really speechless. As much as Kobe has brought to the NBA this year alone, its pretty disrespectful in my opinion.
Oh my that was even worse, he literally gets mugged everytime down the lane. Im not one for conspiracy theories but this has happened over the last 6 games with different sets of refs. You have to wonder what this is about.
The Celtics game I watched and it was pretty sad. I think the reason refs dont give Kobe the calls, is because sometimes he gets calls that should be no calls with his infamous "AYYEE" whenever he goes up. I think the refs are just giving him some payback, but I expect it to go back to normal.
JUST IGNORE THE REFS, you'll enjoy the game alot more.
I remember a few years back, maybe 2001 or 2002, there were many times where I'd be screaming at the TV because of bad calls. And it was (bleep) frustrating watching a game being determined by idiotic calls or no-calls. There were a few times where I just turned off the TV or just watched something else because I couldn't stand it anymore. I wasn't enjoying the game.
And it sucks because I WANT to enjoy the game. So one day I just decided to ignore them, the refs and their calls. I treat bad calls or no-calls like bad luck. I look at it like if they were injuries, its just bad luck. So if there's a bad call, its just bad luck. Like if Kobe shoots a jumper and the ball went half way down the basket, and then spins against the rim for one and a half revolution and pops back out, thats just bad luck. I now enjoy the games a lot more, and I let other people do the screaming when there's a bad call.
Back then, I almost wanted to start a website about it, like NBArefsucks.com or something like that. So people can (bleep) and complain about NBA Refs, hoping David Stern and others will make a change.
And there are ways to change it, they are just not trying hard enough. My suggestion is to hire two more refs per game, that means 5 refs per game. Last time I checked, NBA refs don't make that much money, not when compared to most NBA salaries. The NBA can afford putting more refs in the game.
This will eliminate bad calls as their all more sets of eyes to witness what really happened. At first, there might be too many calls and it slows down the game because players won't be able to get away with every travelings, push-offs, holdings, hitting, palming the ball, etc, viloations. But over a year or so, players will get use to the fact that they have to clean up the way they play, so there will be less calls.
Another thing to implement is coaches challenge like the NFL. This is for final minutes in a close game where every point matters. So this give coaches the right to challenge a call, such as who touched the ball last before it went out of bounds or if a shot was blocked or if it was goal-tended. If they lose the call, they lose a time-out and posession of the ball.
I'm sure there are many other things the NBA can do to improve the officiating in NBA games, its just a matter of doing something about it. And don't get me wrong, I don't blame the refs themselves. There are plenty of times where I thought it was a bad call and after watching a replay, I realized it was a good call after all. But then there are plenty of obvious bad calls also. I just think the NBA refs are put in a poisition to fail. They need more help and it's up to the NBA to do something about it.
Wow! I thought there were several games where refs were treating Kobe and the Lakers like that. Many games after his 81 show almost as if they (league) had other plans for other stars. Now that you see this how many games out there, does anyone think refs bend the other way, games where they pad fouls so a player can increase his score? You would think the league would want to protect him as they did Mike. Hmmm! was it not amazing how so many other players scored at a high level after Kobe’s 81? Or how Labron came close to catching Bryant’s scoring average.

I tend to agree up to some point but NBA is no WWF. There has to be some type of consistency. I can see a missed call, a mistake here and there. What this video shows is all out bull and when there are at least three involved it a conspiracy. I cannot believe Jackson not once got a technical foul defending the one guy who brought him a hell of lot respect this year.

He learned that from Magic, that's how he always got the calls.
