I told her that Webber and Vlade will get into early foul trouble taking them out of the game- and it happened.  but the later calls were kinda scary- makes me wonder about my fortune telling abilities...I said that Pollard will get fouled out early in the quarter- forcing Vlade to play. he will get gis fifth foul soon thereafter and then his last one about three minutes left in the fourth quarter.  He fouled out with 2:40 left in the game...Its kinda sad when a fan can tell you exactly how officiating wil go- considering the fact that they are supposd to be impartial.  Oh well- it makes for a more exciting game 7- and I dint like it how Jackson (phil ) said that it was a throw away game for the kings- I mean there is no such thing as a throw away.  They want to close out a team as soon as possible- and it is not smart for them to relax and let the Lakers get back into the series- especially with the momentum of this game going into the last and deciding game...As for the instant replay- I have felt the same way.  A team can challenge a call- if it is legitimate- they can change it, but if it was the coach just making it up, then they lose a time out.  But there is also the other extreme for this- remember the last game for the Lakers against the Blazers.  With a couple minutes left in the game, a ref called a "i forgot something" and let the Blazers take two foul shots, gave them the ball and added ten seconds back onto the clock. That surprised the hell out of me cause I didnt think that a ref could do that- but i guess they could.  The blazers tied the game at the buzzer forcing OT (which would not have happened if it werent for those two FT and extra time) and then won in 2OT...Whatchagonnado?  game seven will be awesome- considering Kobe and Shaq have got their groove than g back- they are performing up to their normal playoff caliber (taken from last year's playoffs) and if the rest of the frikkin team would do something- they can pull this off-But in all due respect- I think the Kings should have won alredy.  they have been by far the superior team- and have played masterfully.  If they dont make it- my hats off to them- they were great and a very fun team to watch.One last thing- they need to bench FOX. to quote my roomate, "SCRUB!!!!" he cant make baskets, is too small to play the forward position, and too slow to play the guard and not smartenough to be the point man.  They need to sit him down and cut his arse next year... For the amount of time he on the court- he averages like 10 points- my gosh man- for getting paid $50,000 a game- you are worthless...</blockquote>
