Why can't America realize that falling in love with Kobe doesn't mean breaking up with Michael

This was brought up a lot after the Heat went up 3-2 in the finals.

Kobe had a great game and then they started letting him getting hacked. How (bleep) lame. If you can't compete with him, let the defenders step out of the rules.

To this day i'm still pissed off about that game. Never have I seen such bias towards any player . The man got mugged at least 3 times in that game with no call

. I hope at least 6 of them lose their job .

This game right here did it for me... Before this game, I was never sure if the NBA was set-up to a certain degree, had my doubts of it, but this put it in perspective for me, and then without this game, I would of definitely realized it in the finals this year.

"It's the NBA mike, they're going to make you win the game."

I find that quote from one of the commentators hilarious because it doesn't seem to apply to Mr. Wade in the final seconds of one of the Dallas games which led to 2 free throws and the win.

Final seconds? Don't you mean games 3 to 6?

That game made me sick to my stomach, it was one of many this season that made me say that I refuse to watch the NBA, but damnit I keep watching and they keep making me say that. I do remember when that video was posted on here shortly after the game plenty of "rational" Laker fans were going off about how the team choked.

I'm going to stand by my opinion that the refs can totally destroy a team, change how they play the game, and completely influence the outcome of the game by a few well placed non-calls and ignorance of obvious fouls/violations. Just watch how players have to defend Wade for fear of getting called for breathing on him or being run into by him. The same thing goes when they allow players to get away with hitting Kobe and not getting fouls, they'll just keep taking it further, while he becomes more hesitant to go to the basket for fear of his own safety.

I wish I found some of the other pro sports more interesting, maybe I could watch less of this once great game now turned into manure by the NBA refs and their bosses. That said, it's the offseason and we can always hope they'll all be fired before next season starts.

Nicely put together. Now I know why Cuban does what he does. It is evedent that Kobe has to battles the double the triple teams he also has to battle the refs too. Some straoight up bullS!!!.!!! Rmemebr that game like the palm of my hand too. So happen to be in Vegas with a couple of my Laker buddies. Sucks. Funny how Cleveland knew they had the refs blowing the wistle on their side. Some of those massacre hacks on Kobe they knew they fould him with their facial expressions. Well what is done is done. Hopefully these busters hater refs will call at least a more fair game for us next season.
