My response:

Oh definitely. And if you notice, about 50% of the time Shaq shoots free throws, his foot crosses the line and lands before the ball hits the rim, which is illegal.

Of course, these calls are to be expected. Anyone who didn't think the Lakers would get hometown calls in that game was deluding themselves. So it pisses me off, but that's the way it works. The Kings knew that going in they had to deal with it, and they couldn't. The Kings will get a few in Game 7, although perhaps not quite as many as the Lakers. That's part of the burden of trying to beat the defending champs, and if the Kings can't get over that hill, then they don't deserve to win.

But that won't stop me from bitchin' if they lose.
