He also discusses Lou Dort as an Arizona State alum.The Toronto Raptors will look to ride the momentum of a miracle win to a tied best-of-seven series when they face the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Saturday night near Orlando. Yes. If pressed I'd still rate it a Horry foul which would have given a basket and the and one shot to Webber and the Kings a possible four or five point lead. Still an offensive foul on Kobe there could have changed the outcome! So let's make the assumption that Bavetta and Bernhardt are the ones under scrutiny and yes they both had some calls that went for the Lakers. Copyright © 2008 by 82games.com, All Rights Reserved There's been a lot of talk about this next game... maybe way too much talk. The final step is to multiply the presumed +/- points for a call by the This gets to the heart of the matter to me: despite the NBA's official claim that 95% of calls are correct over a season, there are just too many plays that are far from being clear cut wrong/right and many that fall into a gray area where even watching a play many times in slow motion you can make a case for different verdicts. Then a few non calls were charged only to the totals and not to one or two of the refs. Doubtful. So when I do this somewhat involved "quantification" of the officiating impact to generate team net 'bonus points' and add it all up, it looks like this: On the other hand a personal foul that awards two free throws, both made, is only a +1 value despite the team scoring two points: if the foul doesn't happen we still expect on average a point from the possession. Of that I assure you." So, a travel call costs a team one point since they score 0 on the possession with an expectation of one if the call hadn't happened. The total calls (and non-calls) were actually very even between the two teams, but the Lakers did benefit in my view in having an edge on the dubious calls of 7-2 in their favor. From referee controversy to food poisoning conspiracy theories, this David vs. Goliath matchup had it all. Now some calls to me are just flat out "maybe" calls by their nature regardless of who the ref is where it's basically a "can go either way" situation. Still let's remember the accusation being made here -- not that there were some questionable calls that were imbalanced in the favor of one team (a frequent occurrence everyone can probably admit in basketball), but that

Now Bernhardt did have the arguable turning point call of the game as it turns out at the 3:06 mark when Webber moved into the paint and made a basket only to have the shot wiped out with an offensive foul call. As a whole, these plays suggest to me the refs were calling the game honestly, if perhaps not well. Portland star Damian Lillard (knee) to miss Game 5 vs. Lakers Lillard led in scoring during the seeding games, but had struggled against the Lakers, who look to finish the Blazers Share this: Still let me be proactive in trying to address some of the likely counterpoints people may raise. Follow Me On Twitch! Lakers-Kings game six refs. Yes at a glance you can see the Lakers got some advantage from the calls down the stretch, but if Bavetta was really trying to rig the game, would he have called a tie up jump ball at the 3:26 mark (and subsequently had a bad toss that gave the ball to the Kings) with the Kings ahead by two when he could have called a foul on Divac? And if you believed your eyes, the Kings' 102-85 victory over"Statement? Would he have called the foul on Fisher at 1:27 that helped bring the Kings back within a point with plenty of time left? Thus this number is not a focal point for me as to the quality of officiating. On the other hand if you earn two free throws on a "maybe" call, the 50/50 category, then half the points for the call can be termed "bonus officiating points" for the team. To explain the 'negative bonus points' concept a touch more -- if for instance a player took a shot and was seemingly fouled but there was no call, that would be negative points on the call for his team since they lost free throws and 'expected value' resulting from them.
