And every time there'd be a foul on Magic after he had 4 or 5 already, and somebody else was around like Kurt Rambis, Hearn would say straight up, "Foul on the play, they will call it on Rambis" and sure enough they'd call it on Rambis.
This is why Fisher is so valuable to the Lakers. He draws away Kobe's fouls for him all the time and never complains. He's always around the ball and hustling for it, so it isn't a stretch to call fouls on him.
Believe me I've been watching the Lakers for over 20 years.
I admit they get advantages, but or Kobe he's hit and miss. Jordan on the other hand, always and I mean ALWAYS got the calls from all the refs. Kobe has some refs that love him and others that hate him. If you watch closely you can tell.
Also, about the Sacramento series, the Lakers got jobbed the game before. The Portland one was an amazing thing to watch. The Lakers got a lot of calls but they also were on fire from the floor and playing amazing.

The conspiracy is worse than you say. Refs also make terrible calls against the Lakers. They do this so the media can point them out so it seems like there isn't bs going on.
THe refs point shave Laker games so the underdog often loses the game but covers the spread.
I don't believe the Lakers have covered the spread this season.
