It was obvious to anybody that is not a Los Angeles Lakers homer or bandwagoner that the fourth quarter of Game 7 was called completely different from the first three quarters. All of the calls and no-calls went the Lakers way (as SH has documented).
In an effort to prevent any serious dialogue on this matter the league is hiding behind 'copyright infringement' claims and has blocked highlights of Game 7 for the time being. Undoubtedly, those highlights will get released at a time when the topic of the day is no longer the NBA Finals. But this is beyond suspicious. Highlights were immediately available after each of the first six games.
David Stern, who is the biggest weasel on this planet has overseen the blocking of the Game 7 highlights. You can see the trophy presentation. You can see a post game press conference of Ron Artest making a fool of himself. You can even see something posted by lakersmedia.com that has selected non controversial highlights of the Lakers baskets in Game 7. Of course the replay of Pau Gasol coming down on a shot and traveling is not shown. But the play is shown and interestingly enough Joey Crawford is looking out into space not doing his job. He was likely thinking about what he would do with all the moola that was surely coming his way after being chose to interficiate Game 1, Game 5 and Game 7 of the pretend championship series.
