Why would the number of times a certain call is made against one team compared to the number of times on the other team indicate referee bias??Perhaps one of the teams has a center like Todd MacCulloch (excuse the spelling) who does not move very well and tends to stand in one spot for long periods of time...the other team has Tony Battie who - as a smaller player - is very mobile and moves all the time...now the officials call 3 seconds on Todd who is camping in the lane, but not on Tony who is constantly moving and THAT means they are biased?? Or we have Mike Bibby playing point guard against Derek Fisher - Mike is obviously quicker and stronger, so Fisher has to use his hands more on defense...does calling that foul more on Fisher than on Bibby equal a referee bias?? I am really confused with where you are coming from on this? Are you a frustrated Sacramento fan? a Laker-hater (as I am)? What's the deal? Any way you slice it, your arguments don't hold water...check the stats from the series - I believe you can find them on the ESPN website...
