yeah but obvious ones shouldn't be missed.

Lebron traveled in the game 3 winner, and now we get nash trying to call a TO in front of the ref and they let kobe hit a game winner.

I concur.

But Phoenix had opportunities to win this game.

Kobe hit two key shots. If he misses, the refs are a moot point.

Let him hit a game winner? Did you see the two guys on him. Good or bad call on Nash...Kobe still had the make the game winning shot.

The steal was clean, but the no TO call at the end was ridiculous.

You know what? Miss calls are part of the game and to be perfectly honest, the Suns shouldn't have even been in that situation. Stop blaming the refs when the Suns themselves blew the game in the first place.

The league is not rigged. There are a lot of BS calls in the NBA but that's the way it is. If it was rigged I guarantee you the Pistons and Spurs would not have been in the Finals last year.

Exactly Lebron clearly traveled and they didn't call it. It happens every game.

yes, because if nash would've gotten the TO, they could've set up something and gotten free throws, and either kobe would've made a three for 2nd OT or suns would've won. Instead we get stern's plan.

When a player is standing about 6 feet away from a ref screaming for a TO, it might be irrational on my part, but I'd expect the ref to grant the TO.

Maybe that's just me though.

thats the bottom line. refs didnt make the shot.

You could definitely make a case for Kobe being fouled on the last shot. However, he made it, thus taking control out of the refs' hands.

if the refs make the right calls, those shot attempts never occur

OMG How did they not call that foul on Steve Nash at the end? He was humped from the back and front. Not right. NBA needs to figure it's own star system out.

Still Kobe is so clutch, the point is that shot should have never taken place, Suns were ripped.

Ending seconds of regulation...right when Kobe's tear dropper falls....wasn't Kobe fouled on the shot as well? Was it a no call?

Refs make mistakes. I thought the jump ball call at the end of overtime was a mistake.

That said... despite the Lakers having a bad game they still managed to win.

Great day to be a Laker fan.

Good point!!!! Why the heck was Tim Thomas taking fall away jumpers over Smush Parker down the stretch. Thomas is 6-10 and parker is 6-5. I know he is an outside player but he has to go to the basket in that situation.
