Anyone know of a place where to get postgame quotes and interviews with the players and coaches? Also, anywhere to get Napear and Reynolds quotes of the tonight's game? Any help is much appreciated.

Don't hate Kobe, hate the system that has allowed him to get away with palming the ball every possession, shoving people out of the way for shots and rebounds, and otherwise break every rule in the book whenever he feels like it and never NEVER gets called for it. Kobe is an ***, but I blame the system of broken officiating that Dounahe exposed in his legal proceedings and in his forthcoming book. It is hard to repute the fact that officials are NOT UNBIASED in the least. It is apparent that the officiating of the NBA isn't just bad, it's closer to fixed. If it were bad, it would be bad for both teams. But as we all saw last night, the first half was officiated correctly, then all of a sudden in the second half, every single call went against the Kings. The Fakers went to the line twice as many times even though they committed 4 times as many fouls that just were not called. In the last 2 minutes, every Fakers player committed numerous fouls that just werent called. And they KNEW that the fouls would not be called. How is it that they KNEW?? The fouls they committed would be considered stupid fouls if they were called. Many were of the unnecessary bullying type. It is hard to play 5 on 5 basketball, but when you have to play 5 on 8, it makes the game un-winable. I would like to believe that the officials are on the up an up. That the officials are calling the game fairly and unbiased. But it is games like this one that make people suspect that the NBA not only has a problem with officiating, but that they do nothing year after year leading one to believe they KNOW the officiating isn't fair and they are PART of the problem. Until games are called unbiased and officials are held accountable for poor games that cost teams wins, the NBA will always have a credibility problem. Maybe when Stern retires, the next commissioner will care more about the fairness of the officiating and less on the star power/marketing of the NBA. You have to have a FAIR product on the floor. If fans start believing that the NBA isn't fair, no amount of marketing is going to bring those fans back. Lets hope that the "Knack for wining at the end of games" that Paul Westphal talks about, which is code for "officiating called in your favor in a ridiculous manor that leave no doubt in the losing team's locker room" comes the Kings way now that they have so many young stars. I saw that the officials were giving Evans some calls and that gives me hope as a Kings fan that we will have the ability to compete in close games with a player that will get foul calls fairly and unbiased. That is all anyone can ask for. A fairly refereed game with no controversy at the end (you know, like pushing off at the end of a game with the game on the line and you shove your defender into the back court to get open for a 3 and the refs are looking at your feet just to make sure you are behind the line ignoring the blatant foul just committed.) Lets hope the games going forward are better refereed and are more fair to the Kings. I mean really, Derrick Fisher only had ONE FOUL CALLED? REALLY?? SERIOUSLY!! HE MUST HAVE COMMITTED 20 FOULS !!

Never seen Westphal so down in a post-game interview session. He was snippy with some questions, had one-word answers in some cases and just seemed totally depressed/angry/ready to blow. It was short and uncomfortable. Wonder what he told his players after that tough loss?

Could not have said it better.
To be honest, I don't wait Tyreke to be the guy who "gets" the calls. I want the game to be called fairly on both sides. With Stern, It's all about the dollar sign. He wants the NBA to be bigger than the MLB and the NFL so damn bad its not even funny. It'll be a great day for basketball when Stern is no longer running the show.

In the last week, Westphal and the rest of our young Kings just experienced what it truly feels like to be a small market team going up against the poster boys of the NBA. Welcome to our world.
