After hearing Kobe Bryant's league leading 14th Technical foul was rescinded on Tuesday evening, I had finally snapped. I was driving home and was cussing at my radio I was so pissed. This stems from the Nuggets game Monday and the fact it was one of the worse showing of favoritism and bias towards a team that I have seen as a sports fan. I haven't watched enough Nuggets games this seasons but I listened and watched a fair amount of Monday night's game and was disgusted with the Lakers bias the NBA was showing.
David Guthrie was one of the officials and it was EMBARRASSING how fixed it appeared he was calling the game. The fouls he refused to call on the Lakers and the fouls he was calling on the Nuggets was mind boggling. The NBA is so desperate to get the Lakers into the playoffs, it could be the ugliest final two months of the NBA season we've ever seen when the Lakers play.
The Jazz, Rockets and Warriors all sit 3-5.5 games ahead of the Lakers. The Warriors will get every call against them against the Lakers in the two games they face off. And the Lakers play the Rockets in the final game of the regular season for both teams. Imagine this scenario, the Lakers are down by a game going into the final game of the regular season behind the Rockets, give the 8th seed to the Lakers without playing the game. The Lakers and Rockets would tie the season series 2-2 and the next tiebreaker is conference record. Houston appears to be more likely to finish with the worse record in conference IF the above scenario plays out.
Watch the remaining Lakers games and watch the bias continue.
