This is why you don't want to face the Cavs in the playoffs

[DazedAndConfused]

The fucking refs.

You will not get a fair shake. You will have to deal with Lebron getting every call. You will get raked and raped during the clutch and no foul calls will come your way.

It's pretty ridiculous. But this is what the NBA wants, you can't market King James unless he wins a ring.

One thing I've always wondered....if you imagine a Laker fan and with a bunch of fellow Laker fans watching Laker basketball in the same room....how the hell do you decide which person in the room is the biggest fagger?

It's like a koan. You could meditate on this for years.

[DazedAndConfused]

Actually if you look back at the playoff series in the last two years you will be hard pressed to find ANY evidence of ref favoritism towards LAL. There are no stats to back up that ridiculous claim.

Prove me wrong.

Can someone explain the originations of this?

[j.dizzle]

Sons, its not only bogus calls & phantom and 1's..Its about Bron never picking up any obvious fouls that he commits..I saw him smack Melo a grip of times today & he only ended up with like 1 foul. Melo shot a bunch of FT's too but he was also getting hammered on his drives in the second half & was not getting any of the same calls bron was getting. Oh well, its not gonna change so you gotta live with it.

Games 2/3/5 2002 WCF

Yawn. Weakest troll ever.

[FkLA]

STFU. Laker fans complaining about officiating is like OJ complaining about someone getting away with murder. No, actually its even worse its like OJ complaining about someone getting away with a misdemeanor because whatever calls Cleveland may get are nowhere near as blatant and ridiculous as those calls LA got in 2002.


Nader cited Washington Post sports columnist Michael Wilbon who wrote that too many of the calls in the fourth quarter (when the Lakers received 27 foul shots) were "stunningly incorrect," all against Sacramento.



After noting that the three referees in Game 6 "are three of the best in the game, Wilbon wrote: "I have never seen officiating in a game of consequence as bad as that in Game 6....When Pollard, on his sixth and final foul, didn't as much as touch Shaq. Didn't touch any part of him. You could see it on TV, see it at courtside. It wasn't a foul in any league in the world. And Divac, on his fifth foul, didn't foul Shaq. They weren't subjective or borderline or debatable. And these fouls not only resulted in free throws, they helped disqualify Sacramento's two low-post defenders. And one might add, in a 106-102 Lakers' victory, this officiating took away what would have been a Sacramento series victory in 6 games."

Nader also cited the basketball writer for USA Today, David Dupree, who said, "I've been covering the NBA for 30 years, and it's the poorest officiating in an important game I've ever seen."http://dissidentvoice.org/Articles/BacherNaderNBA.htm

Furthermore...


Spurs-Lakers. This is the series we all wanted. The defending NBA champs versus the league's Most Valuable Player and its best team (you heard me, Boston). As well as its most glamorous. A few years ago, NBA commissioner David Stern was asked to name his dream championship match-up. He replied without hesitation, "Lakers vs. Lakers." Exactly (Bruce Bowen, you will have two fouls before the first TV timeout).
The truth is, Spurs-Lakers is a more compelling match-up, and between better teams, than most of the NBA Finals of the previous nine seasons. Spurs-Knicks and Lakers-76ers, for example, were 4-1 yawners while Spurs-Cavs and Lakers-Nets were sweeps. Oh, and yes, the Spurs and Lakers have won seven of the previous nine NBA titles…though only one of the two has drawn the type of television ratings that bring a pleased look to the commissioner's face.

So yea Laker fans should probably just keep quiet about Cleveland getting calls or about Stern being in love with them.

Oh, I'm a troll because I don't agree with you. Brilliant.

And I don't recall the Kings taking 27 free throws in the fourth quarter of games 2, 3 or 5.

[BRHornet45]

well son this is why I have said over and over again that the best way to clean up the NBA is to COMPLETELY ELIMINATE FREE THROWS FROM THE GAME.

call me crazy, but I want to watch fair basketball. not rigged, scripted sports entertainment.

What a ridiculous thing to ask. You think someone would spend all that time looking at free throw statistics and fouls called in the last 2 minutes of games just to have you blow it off anyway?

I'm getting tired of some of you idiots.

How did I miss this?!

1) One game... really? How about the other 5 opportunities the Lakers were given...

2) The Pistons straight up owned the Lakers in 2004. They dissected that team like it was practice. Fittingly, it was because they played selfless, team basketball.

3) air apparent? do you me heir?

Meh. KG gets away for his illegal screens all the time. Lebron will get calls in his favor but you have to play through it.

[bostonguy]

Cavaliers-Nuggets. It's going to be a hell of a series.

Cavs will be playing in June but I still don't see the Nuggets. You are sold on a team that has George Karl as their head coach? Denver can compete with LA but I don't see how you think they have the smarts to take down a championship team like LA.
They have to show me they can make defensive stops and execute on offense when it matters under playoff pressure. I wasn't sold on them last year because they beat 2 non-athletic teams in N.O and Dallas. They have the perfect roster to implode when shit gets rough. Regular season victories mean jack.

[Rogue]

You're possibly going to make it for the 3rd straight time this season in my genuine opinion. But this year Staples won't permit access to guys wearing colored v-necks, just something to think about.

[Jace]

Actually somewhat true, I recall a recent article where Lebron was compared historically and he fouls less than anyone in NBA history who plays his minutes.

Despite being an aggressive defender who has never been "great" technically
