Hopefully Game 4 the officiating will even out a bit

[Phil Jackson]

What you saw tonight is a classic case of the refs falling under pressure to the home crowd. I mean I love Eddie, he's a good buddy tonight, but anytime you have one team shooting over 40 free throws in a game its...its just not right. The other team just doesn't have a chance really.

I'm surprised Amare hasn't been called for traveling at all yet in this series. I'm just saying, you look closely at his pivot foot and it definitely slides everytime. It gives him more mobility and its hard for our team to compete when the Suns are getting advantages like that. Consistency is all I'm asking for.

[Giuseppe]

That X Cap was still the goods though.

And what could Media do? Nothin'. They had to stand there and take it.

[D2Procon]

David Stern was on a vacation, my reliable source tells me he's back in his office.

[Giuseppe]

Thank, Christ.

I didn't know the refs were supposed to award the same number of FTs to each team, or keep them below some arbitrary number.

When did this happen?

The sound you hear is the joke going over your head. Try to keep up.

Not attacking you or defending Phil. It's just the same thing I hear all... the... time... that FT discrepancies = unfair. It's just as dumb when Phil says it as when a fan says it. Jokingly or not (95% of the time it's not jokingly)

[kobyz]

i think the refs was in favor of lakers in game 3 especially in second helf

[mavsfan1000]

They favored the Lakers in all 3 games. Especially game 1.
