again, i'll take Kenny, Charles, the entire crew on NBA on ABC, my entire house of hard-core Laker fans and my own eyes over a shamed referee, Simmons who bitched so much during Game 3 that he probably felt like a jack-ass doing it again and one of the most homerific Laker fans in the world.
Your smarm in bold right there says more than enough. Go to Lakersground and you'll see homerific - I'm probably one of the less homerific Laker fans out there...not the most but FFS cheese, you're not even within reason right now. We're arguing about the technicalities around the continuation call, not team anything vs anything. It could be the Hawks vs. the Nets and I'd say the same thing, a foul while dribbling does not earn continuation if the dribble hasn't completed.
The haterade runs deep in your veins, man. Now you are flat out making things up about me. That's awesome. Silly, but awesome.
Bottom line, a guy who made his living by making the type of calls we are talking about does not call that a continuation. He got disgraced for working with bookies to influence games, not for being a ref who missed all kinds of calls. I'll take his word over your house of hardcore Lakerfans and the entertainer tools on national broadcasts, including my sports idol Magic Johnson.
Tell me, did your hardcore Lakerfan friends slowmo that play to actually see what happened, or did they just follow along with your angry outburst and not want to appear like the most homerific fans in the world? I routinely play back things that look odd to see whether I was right or wrong, and often I'll say "nope, that was a bad call we got away with" or "yep, they got that one right." That was a yep. According to the ref on the floor and the ref fresh out of cuffs.
