I'm sorry - I must be in an alternate universe. Or was I just reading posts from Laker fans complaining about the refs?
That's NBA refs. Which are the same refs which have handed the Lakers more games than I could possibly count through the years.
Just wait until Game 5, or Game 7. The Lakers will get all the calls that matter. They always do. Death, taxes, and the Lakers getting all the calls that matter.
The only way to win a crucial playoff game against LA is to soundly beat them by playing solid D, rebounding well, and hitting a bunch of shots. That way you're far enough ahead so that not even the refs can overcome the deficit. Or, of course, if Bryant is cold and shoots them out of the game, or if he just plain rolls over, like he did against Boston in the deciding game of the 2008 Finals.
