Now, if as you say, the officials were biased and conspired to force a game 7, why would the NBA fine them? How stupid is that? "We want you to call against the Kings." Then, they fine the officials for being incompetent. That is so stupid. That's why your argument doesn't make sense. On one hand you say they were biased which implies a conspiracy. On the other, you imply that they were just incompetent. Well, which is it? You can't have it both ways. It's either one, the other or neither. But it isn't both.

You are too smart for me. Since you don't seem to get it I will connect the dots. A large segment of the population (present company excluded) think game six was called poorly and most of the calls favored the lakers. If the league released the information of what fines, if any, were assessed against the officials, then if there were none, it would indeed show the NBA condoned it. If there were fines it would help dispel the conspiracy theory. Last time I checked the officials had a contract with the NBA and the NBA could make this part of the contract if they wanted to.
