Had Shaq been properly tagged with one those "non-calls" in the first half of game 2 last year against the Sixers, they might have rode a 2-0 lead to the championship.

  It's nice to see that SOMEBODY cares. How do you fit it all in? Scrabbling, computing, advising, sporting -- you're a man for all seasons Mr. Duck.

    There was this guy and he had a girlfriend named
    Lorraine who was very pretty and he liked her a lot.
    One day he went to work and found that a new girl had started working there. Her name was Clearly and she was absolutely gorgeous. He became quite besotted with Clearly and after a while it became obvious that she was interested in him too. But this guy was a loyal man and he wouldn't do anything with Clearly while he was still going out with Lorraine. He decided that there was nothing left to do but to break up with Lorraine and get on with Clearly. He planned several times to tell Lorraine but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Then one day they went for a walk along the
    riverbank when Lorraine slipped and fell into the
    river. The current carried her off and she drowned.

    
    The guy stopped for a moment by the river and then ran off smiling and singing............

      And I suppose the next line he would sing is..............

      
      "I can see all constables in my way...."

  : LA Intimidates REFS Again

  : Crucial non-calls kept Shaq and Kobe in the game. Marginal calls against Divac kept him on the bench for 1/3 of the game.

  : At one point Shaq slammed into Divac knocking him to the floor. The ref explained to Divac that Shaq stopped going in his direction after hitting him.

  :
  : A first half non-call of a third foul on a key player keeps that player from going to the bench.

  :
  : Had Shaq been properly tagged with one those "non-calls" in the first half of game 2 last year against the Sixers, they might have rode a 2-0 lead to the championship.
