Congrats to both teams - Nice Post-Game Analysis except for MVP, how can you be MOST valuable if you lost? Maybe MVP of season, but not of game.

You guys are very critical of the referees - It's one of the hardest positions to be in and deserve alot more respect than you guys are giving them. I think they did a decent job even though most of you didn't get your calls (and why they stink in your opinion probably). Focus on all the good calls they did get (like the beam hitting) rather than the few calls they missed and it is by far more good than bad.

Btw, NBA referees (not that this is the NBA) are hounded by players all the time and do change call occasionally when notified of them.

Also don't see why people should be complaining about Lakers getting calls or what not as Nets had one of there top players ejected from the last game and was allowed to play in finals that Lakers could of contested. But they chose to want to play the Nets best team so nothing really to complain about.

yo Ed - definitely agree with your awards on best team player.

i agree with you on that kareem. isaiah is probably the best player in the league but shouldnt get MVP since his team lost. It should definitley go to a laker. but i think the reason others are saying isaiah is because he put up silly numbers while the lakers are team oriented.

but i couldnt agree with you less when it comes to the refs. if you plan on playing in the summer league , you ll see the difference in consistency and overall judgement by the refs. they know all the rules, they are consistent and professional. yes they will miss calls too but the they always are attentive and are running up and down the court making sure they are reffing to the best of their ability. the reason we pay 125 instead of like 60 dollars is because of these professional refs. and when some of the refs didnt even pay attention to the game that bothers me.

ps. lakers no one or atleast not me is hating on you. as i stated before great around team and season. role players stepped up like crazy against us(spurs) in the playoffs. my beef is with some of the reffing. iam guess iam just used to professional refs thats all.

My pics from the semi-finals/finals are up on the Scores & Schedule page, click on the Photo link for each game. If anyone has their own pics to add let me know. Pics aren't too great... I need a new camera.

Also, if anyone has any problems viewing the photos send me a message, it should work in most browsers. You can browse through the photos using the arrow keys, or mouse-over the image and click on next/prev to go forward/backward.

Photo captions:

Lakers vs Spurs
2: Ahmed preparing to cross-over Faraz
3: Faraz running point

Nets vs Hornets
3: Two players trying to deny Edriss the ball
4: Nice form, 100% sure Edriss made the 3
5: Agent 0 brings up the ball
7: Edriss looking away from the camera, as if he's too good to have his picture taken
8: Nice jump shot by Matt, contested by Edriss
11: Muhammad with the lay-in
12: Isaiah makes his move
13: Abdul at the line
14: Again nice form, 100% sure Edriss made the 3
15: Haroon takes it up strong
16: Leading the fast-break

Nets vs Lakers
2: Finals tip-off... if there's one thing that ref is good at it's definitely throwing up the jump ball - perfect toss
3: Shake for 3
4: Isaiah leads the charge up court, Sami trying to intimidate from the sidelines
5: Sami lays it in
12: Sami takes it up strong
16: Isaiah moving left off the pick from Haroon, while the self-proclaimed MVP Edriss is on the phone with his agent in the background
17: Lakers crash the boards

lol damn that's weird... i think it's the angle, maybe your right arm was bent as if you were pulling on your shorts. anyways i cropped you out of that pic now, i bet this wouldn't have happened if you had both arms extended in the proper defensive position Smile
