He'll rig Lakers vs OKC in the western conference finals

The NBA really sucks at rigging things considering that LeBron is entering his 10th year, Kobe is entering his 17th year, they have a combined 7 Finals appearances since LeBron's entered the league, and yet they've never faced each other.

The haters can't comprehend these facts and the fact that the Lakers were better than the Kings

If you want to ignore objective analysis and just go with popular perception from events that happened when you were 9 years old, that's certainly your prerogative.

was still rigged, lol

Why does my age matter at the time it happened? I can easily find videos of the game and watch it right now.

Lol Im not the only one. Everyone else besides delusional Laker fans say it was rigged.

I think it's unlikely that a Warriors fan who just told me "tl;dr" would have the patience to go back and watch YouTube videos of a Lakers-Kings game from 10 years ago to support his point rather than just relying on popular perception, but if you've actually done that, then no...your age doesn't matter.

The game wasn't rigged. The Lakers got the better end of the whistles, but Beech's review and analysis of the game proves pretty clearly that it wasn't rigged. People just like to whine about the Lakers, whether it's that game, the Gasol trade, the Howard/Nash acquisitions, etc. It's always a part of some bigger, systemic issue. No one cares that Game 5 of that series was at least as egregious, with prime-Shaq shooting exactly one free throw (when he averaged 10.5 in every other game) and fouling out in 32 minutes. No one ever points to the Kings completely s**tting on themselves at home in Game 7, going 16-30 from the FT line and 2-20 from the 3 point line, despite being given ample opportunity to win the series.

Here's how ridiculous the argument is.

You're telling me that the refs...despite having the order from David Stern that the Lakers have to win the series...are going to call this foul on Kobe Bryant with the Lakers up by 2 with 8 seconds left, 35 feet from the hoop, allowing Sacramento to send Game 7 into overtime. Fast forward to the 8 minute mark. LOL
