NEW YORK -- Allen Iverson and Larry Brown were fined $7,500 each Tuesday by the NBA for criticizing referee Derrick Stafford after the 76ers' defeat against the Lakers last weekend.


Iverson, Philadelphia's All-Star guard, got two technical fouls and Tyrone Hill got one from Stafford in the third quarter. Kobe Bryant made all three free throws to give the Lakers an 11-point lead in a game they won 106-92 Sunday.


''I don't think we had a shot after that. It is just frustrating,'' Iverson said after the game. ''I think that referee, Derrick, has a vendetta against us, and it was evident today. We weren't able to talk to him at all. When we asked about things, he gave us smart comments and pretty much juked us.''


Said his coach, Brown: ''One of the officials has it personal for some of our players. ... He's been personal with us for a long, long time.''

I think that this is pretty gay...not just b/c it's AI though....just b/c it seems like sports (in general) ...make it so that the officials are like these higher beings that can't ever be bothered with....

same thing happened when joe po at penn st. was talking about the officials....people got all pissed....

...i can't speak for what happened....b/c i don't know what conversations happen down on the court between the players/coaches and officials.....but if there are officials that are out of line..they need to be dealt with....


....and personally..i think that the NBA officials are HORRIBLE.....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to inconsistent on a game to game basis.

just sniko's thoughts
