if you have a problem with stern, officiating, athletes pay, attitude DONT WATCH the NBA!!! nobody is forcing you to watch or bet on anything!! Nobody cares what you think about the refs. I usually let people speak their minds, but this is getting absurd. 10 threads on crying about stern and the refs? seriously. get a life and shut the fuck up. lakers won fair and damn square. maybe the free throw discrepancy was because all the lakers second chance opportunities and their physical play driving to the basket? yea it had nothing to do with that or the celtics settling for jumpers. stop your whining!!
