Holy Crap! Am I REALLY going to root for the Lakers tonight?

Nice, the Rapist shoots almost as many FT's as the entire Utah team.

That being said, the Jazz looked like pure .

Well that's because the Jazz are just a good team that will never be great. When you get totally manhandled in the first quarter and have to play from behind you tend to foul a lot more. There were some missed calls both ways. The officiating had nothing to do with the outcome of this game. Besides, blaming the refs has always been and will always be a move.

Heh...guess you didn't watch the Magic @ Spurs last night. The most horrible officiating I've seen in a long, long time. Both teams were playing 5 on 8 last night.

If both teams were playing 5 on 8 then the refs, however horrible, were horrible both ways and had nothing to do with the outcome. Look, the refs are bad. We all know that. Some nights you get the calls, others not. The good teams, the championship caliber teams are able to play through it. If you don't put your team in a position to have a last second call effect the game then it's a moot point. I think you understand where I am going. IMO, there is too much ing about the refs. With many, it's all they do and I think it's a move.
