15 Years Ago Today - Kings vs Lakers Game 6 2002 WCF

[Bilz]

Somewhat true but Kings Fans and Laker Haters have been whinning incessantly for 15 years about free throws in game 6.

I thought it was a pretty typically called game, given the circumstances, but as someone who watched the Lakers and Kings a lot, I may have been more conditioned to it than most.

The Lakers were not going to get eliminated early because of a questionable call. If that meant giving 20 close calls to them, so be it.

Game 2, 2008 Finals: Leon Powe shot 13 free throws.

The Lakers shot 10.

Everyone bytches about game 6 in this series, but ignores Webber dribbling the ball out of bounds in game 5 before Bibby's shot and they let Sacramento keep the ball.



Kinda like Spurs fans whining about the end of game 4 in the 2008 WCF when they think Brent Berry got fouled by Fisher but ignore that Fisher's shot hit the rim before that possession and LA should have had the ball shooting free throws after it went out of bounds.

Ball don't lie.

What the hell does game 5 got to do with 6 they were up in the series and if not for the refs would closed youll at and one a chip the league gave youll that title Sacramento was better period

Because LA woulda been UP 3-2 instead of down 3-2 if the refs didn't blow game five.

My nikka you really going there when you see Kobe swing and bibby bracing his fall?

kobe wouldnt have to do that if bibby wasnt grabbing

Or if Kobe could have made a gamewinner

That Kings/LWO rivalry was

Too bad the Kings faded into oblivion to keep it up. Only Kings fans are holding that one sided rivalry.

I wonder how sohh was during this.

 

[Numpsay]

I swear 99% of people that cry conspiracy about this series didn't watch this series at all. Bottom line is the Queens choked this series away, because of course they were led by the King of all chokers in Chris Webber. Series aren't won or loss in one game.

A rivalry requires that both teams win back and forth. Queens ain't win shyt. It was never a rivalry.

Game 6 was clearly fixed and the NBA knows it.

What a time

Bibby was the only one on Sacramento that wasn't shook. That team was talented, but so fukking p*ssy, led by C-Webb's scary self.
