The refs are influenced in a variety of different ways. While they show favoritism to LA, they do it for every other contending team and superstar player. LA is usually contending or has marquee talent is what I'm saying.
With their proud tradition of rigged playoff games, can the Lakers survive the loss of the current cast including Joey Crawford, Bavetta, the 2002 crew, etc if the refs union walks?
Or in typical Laker style have new payment arrangements been made to key replacement refs?

you're so 2002.
IMHO it will be cheaper for the lakers to win over the new refs
Jazzy, how's come yer not tryin' to get into my Depends this morn?
Only 29 day to go...
what you talking about...we gots to start paying the refs over again. It'll be more expensive. The "Lakers Ref Tax" im paying yearly is gonna drain me.
The Lakers will need a of a lot more than refs in their back pocket to beat the Blazers this year.
Well, the replacement refs may not be corrupted, but they will either:
- suck ass
- suck ass AND be in awe of Kobe and co.
Had a feeling you batted from the other side of the plate.
Whither? As in the adverb, or the conjunction? Either way, it makes no sense to use that word there. Whither is kinda like saying 'wherever'. I think you were searching for "can the Lakers 'weather' the loss...".Sorry. This concludes my English lesson for the day.
Dude culburn is as gay as they come. He develops these crushes on spurstalk members. Maybe you're next. I hope so. I'm sick of his -erotic passes at me. He gets mad when he puts himself out there and finds out you only like women. So he mad at me. Culburn that sorry little cuck
The Lakers already paid off Stern, it's HIS job to pass some of the juice down to the refs.
Lakers ranked 15th in fouls called against them in 2008-09 with 20.7 a game.
Spurs ranked tied for last with 18.9.
Go figure...

Joey Crawford and Bevetta will just have to attend games from the stands just like the rest of us this year, except sporting the purple & piss rather than their usual neutral black and white.
Rare seeing of the light of truth from LakerPoster.
nah, they will just pay the new refs to throw games in favor of the Lakers.
As much as that no-call pisses me off, Bruce Bowen got away with something similar on LeBron James to end game 3 of the 07 Finals. Both were obvious fouls though.
He slipped because Fish's droplets of perspiration fell on that spot.
Travel by Barry, Foul by Fisher...either one could have been called.
I think the blame is on Barry for this one. If he had just shot the ball instead of avoiding Fish, he would have not have travelled AND he would have gotten the 3 point play.
And after watching this video like a million times already, I just noticed, that foul by Fish isn't a shooting foul as Barry was barely initiating his dribble. I dunno if the Lakers were out of fouls or not but I'm surprised I never noticed that before.
The NBA recognized it was a foul and ref "mistake", wake up and try to keep up.
