Lakers Cavs Game and Ref Bias Against Kobe Bryant

...and the refs with a huge come from behind win. It's like reggie miller said on TNT last week...why make the players the bad guys all the time? They tell the media when players get fined..but dont say shit when refs get suspended or fined? It's ludacris....it's time for stern to leave the NBA in peace.

[Flash 3]

Hmmmmmm. Thats the worst reffing i've ever seen. Hope that ref got fired.

[Zoom]

If this is the video I've seen before... since it wont load for me... It's pretty old but in it, it was clear that the Cavs didnt deserve the win and they were just tying to kill my man KB

[Heiks]

It made me want to punch someone in the face. The League is fucked up as hell, Stern should retire. All that "Rasheed" rule and accessories stuff. Now this kind of officicating. Someone needs a wakeup call.Is it me, or was really EVERYTHING better in the 90's. I really can't describe my disappointment.

Looks like the NBA is going down the same road as EA's Live.

[Zoom]

I wouldn't say that. A bit of drama is good for the NBA IMO... the zero tolerance officiating is a bit too tight though... The NBA is still exciting in its own sense... last season was one of the best seasons and this season should surpass it.

The talent of the league overall is at its best in a long long time since the 90s.

Just the rule changes and all the new guidelines seem a bit ridiculous. I'm sure they will get it right tho...

The refs in that video were really awful and disgraceful

You wish Kobe did this to em

The ref hopefully got fired in the kb vid and should be doing this instead

Update: Found another vid with bad reffing, Rockets at Mavs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eY8qGHU52E

Disgraceful reffing has to be banished.

[Cornerthree]

I wanna kill that ref!!

I have never seen such bad job by a NBA referee...

[Matt]

wow, that is such bad reffing.....Kobe got screwed on ALL the calls.

[koberulz]

i don't see why gooden should have got a tech there...anyhow....

it may have been the otehr way in the first half. you can't tell. you really need to see the whole game.

also, this happened last season, and was posted here at the time.

[Cloudy]

These refs are like old gay men who just like to mess around...

[BIG GREEN]

man that video with the ref getting punched out was nuts. lol @ them trying to revive him by waving their jerseys over him.

[theflash02]

that's what kobe got for being such an asshole the past few seasons.. Now a lot of people hate him already.. He used to be loved by the fans.. Now.. He's just a dumbass like koberulz over there..

[Cornerthree]

Hey man, no one deserves to be punished by unfair referee calls.

[bigh0rt]

Necessary?

The job of the referees is to keep the game fair for all parties involved, period. Their job is not to interject or affect the outcome in any slanted way what so ever, be it directly or indirectly towards or against a single player and/or team. Unfortunately things like this take place in all sports, from the professional level all the way down to the youth recreation programs. It's a real shame. Those blaming Stern for this, however; need to find a new goat to shout at, because this is not nearly an NBA-exclusive problem, nor do I imagine he has much, if anything, to do with it.

I really didnt see the refs refusing to make calls because it was kobe. Gooden wouldnt get a tech because he just showed his frustration, he didnt go after the ref like he made a bad call. That offensice foul by kobe was the same thing as what i saw. Another time the announcers said he got smacked, but it looked like the defender hit the ball, not kobe. I did see how there should have been a foul when Kobe was getting mauled by 2 cavs, but didnt the same thing happen to nash last year in the playoffs with no call? To me this video just shows how much of a LA fanboy the creator of this video is. Own up to your loss, stop blaming the refs for your team losing, and move on. If its one thing i cant stand its fanboys who see things that really didnt happen. I mean if you root for a team to win you are going to notice bad calls, or what you think are bad calls to your team and notice good calls towards the team you want to lose. It just happens like that. But i watch the games as neutral, so i have no bias for either team. Trust me, i have seen friends get mad over calls against their team, when in reality it was the right call.

...wow. I bet you think a whole lot before you post dont'cha?

Wasn't this game last season, before the "zero tolerance" policy was put in place?

Yes it was.

[hipn]

To tell you the truth, a lot of times, I feel games are fixed. Like game 7 of Lakers/Suns series last year.

[maes]

NBA has terrible refs, but please it has nothing to do with Kobe. Van Gundy was fined a record $100,000 for publically disclosing how the refs were told to target Yao Ming in the playoffs.

Here's an article that actually tracked the "bad call" statistics for refs during game 5 of last year's Finals, and you can see how biased that was:

WAIT ON JUST A MINUTE THERE

You dont mean to tell me that the league is unfaily promoting Wade and LeBron to make more money do you? Now come on.


Please...













If they wont be skilled enough to be the next MJ, just do the next best thing - change the fucking rules

[joejam999]

O please did you not watch the lakers and jazz game on TNT last year where the worst call in nba history was made? Kobe doesnt get calls.. whatever

This guy should be put in jail that it just unbelievable.

The refs were bad, especially in the first half of the clip. On another note, Kobe is an excellent player
