[socluis90]

[rfx45]

Jackson complained that the referees had let the game get out of hand; the Nuggets shot 49 free throws compared with theLakers' 35. "We want the game to be fair and evenly played," Jackson said.

Jackson also complained about Denver guard Dahntay Jones' tripping Kobe Bryant: "Just unacceptable defense, trippingguys and playing unsportsmanlike basketball," Jackson said on Monday.

Good job Phil at least we know he's paying attention on the sideline. Some time I think he's asleep with his eyes open in that throne of his

Hopefully we get some more calls @ Staples in Game 5.

From what he said, it didn't sound too bad. I don't think that warranted a $25k fine.

Standing up for his players is worth 25k

Phil

Refs have been inconsistent but in the 4th is was OD

Denver only had 7 more trips to the line. Is that really that unfair? And Dude didn't trip Kobe on purpose. Phil is a great coach and probably my favoriteof all-time but he shouldn't be crying about this. It makes him look weak. What a waste of 25k.

And the Lakers had 45 FT attempts compared to Denver's 31 in Game 3.

He can afford it, but still. It looks wrong when the league fines a player or coach for speaking out against things that are sometimes clear injustices

 

[(*Fin)]

And Dude didn't trip Kobe on purpose.
Did you even watch the game? Even Nuggets fans were saying that was intentional. It should have been a regular foul though.

Lakers fans, how much is Phil making a year?

I like when rival fans think with their brains rather then with their hearts.

Any other fan would just write Hate.

[eight2one]

i think when the NBA fines people, they should hand it to random person.

The Refs work for Stern, remember that. Whatever Stern says goes.
