To satisfy my curiousity, I started watching the series again.
Based on the first half of game one, so far this may be the fairest called series I've ever seen from a Laker's opponents point of view while Shaq was in his prime.
Shaq has gotten no advantage at all from the refs, very unusual.
What I have seen is
1. a Kings team that has flopped more, 6 to 1.
2. A Kings team that has had more dirty plays (2 - 0 )
3. A Kings team that has played very aggressively on defense and gotten away with more uncalled fouls.
4. A Kings team that gets really upset , and complained vehemently to the refs a lot , BUT ON CORRECT CALLS.
5. Due to 1 and 4, a kings crowd that gets REALLY upset at the refs for correct calls.
6. A Kings team that has gotten away with more offensive fouls.
Despite all this, Shaq and Kobe are at the top of their games, and beating the Kings handily.
I can see where this series is going.
