i dont know if i can trust the league anymore... with tim donaghy and all these convenient trades and inconsistent officiating... im starting to see more and more that its more about entertainment than anything else... evidence.. pau gasol pretty much for KWAME BROWN... i mean cmon... they gave up their WORST player, a few benchwarmers, and a prospect for a proven perennial all star 7 footer... the garnett deal wasnt as bad, but still there is something to be said there

HEY HEY HEY!Memphis is a rebuilding team, and they got Pau's BRO who is becoming a VERY respectable player in his own right, and they got Javaris, who is potentially a star in this league. Also, w/ Kwame, they dump $9M cap space this year. Memphis is only getting younger and making themselves better for the future.That was 50/50 call. The refs just missed that. Unlike Sasha, they aren't machines, they make mistakes. The angles of all the referees make it VERY tough to judge that a foul. If it doesn't LOOK like a foul, then it isn't.

it was a clean steal...but that doesnt negate the fact that all of the officiating has been pretty whack as of late

Thats not a foul because if it was, the series would be over and the league would lose the money they would get from games 6 and 7. Expect a lakers win in game 6

Steal as clean as you'll get. There has been more even foul counts in LA than in Boston (Boston's way) Can't see Boston complaining too much - Look at the Free Throw attempts this series and Foul counts and you'll see they favour Boston - See below:Gm 1 - FLS LA - 29 BOS - 22 Fthrows LA - 28 BOS - 35Gm 2 - FLS LA - 28 BOS - 21 Fthrows LA - 10 BOS - 38Gm 3 - FLS LA - 23 BOS - 28 Fthrows LA - 34 BOS - 23Gm 4 - FLS LA - 23 BOS - 24 Fthrows LA - 29 BOS - 28Gm 5 - FLS LA - 28 BOS - 28 Fthrows LA - 31 BOS - 31(also remember for this game Boston was fouling intentionally at the end of the game otherwise LA would've had more fouls)If you look at these stats it's easy to see Boston is getting an even deal where LA is getting nothing at Boston. Boston will win in 6 or 7 because that's what the league wants. Boston is allowed to play physical whereas LA gets whistled every time it tries - I think it's all heading one way CELTIC win with controversy.

FOUL FOUL FOUL, GOOD REFS

one word ITS NBA FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!

Kwame Brown for President!

It's not a faul, and it's finals, you can't call that as a faul...

It wasn't a foul man come on. Even Doc Rivers said that it wasn't a foul. If you watch the slow motion replay on nba.com you can see that Kobe only touched the ball.You might think it's a foul because Pierce acts like he gets hit at the arm. It happens all the time man with every sport. Nice ref!

First of all it was a foul, Kobe Bryant is a choke and since he was such a hack that game they should hav fouled himout. No Kobe is so great(lol) he cant be fouled out then he shouldnt be a hack and that was a foul. Every who said it wasnt must be a Kobe fan u guys are sad!!

IT WAS A FOUL!

THE REFS FIXED THAT GAME TO KEEP THE SERIES GOING LONGER THEN IT SHOULD HAVE

It Was A Foul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How could they not see it. Good crunch time foul Kobe
