OKC In 5
I mean ... at least TRY and make it look legit and as if you don't have a financial agenda behind your officiating.
NBA = Carefully Controlled, Partially Scripted, Sports Entertainment
It was not THAT bad.
Refs screwed up more in favour of the Lakers, but it was bad in general for both teams.
Ibaka ed up, game was called fair
I stopped watching midway through the 3rd it became so blatantly obvious. I want this series to go 7 games, but I just cannot watch that and not feel like I am watching WWE.
Stern can't let his golden boy franchise get swept like the underachieving sacks they are two years in a row.
18 FTA for a jumpshooter who never goes to the rim is in' nonsense.
The amount of freethrows in this game is questionable.
Yes it was. LA with a 42 to 28 FTA advantage.
stern learned how to rig games better since everyone called him out in 2002. the refs camouflaged their boost to the lakers through bad officiating but making sure it eventually benefits the lakers more.
I don't mind the Lakers extending the series, but it was pretty bad... +12 freebies on a game that's decided by 3 points is huge.
Sons you always cry that OKC gets the most ref love, so this is a good thing, no? making it a bit more even.

Hey BR = Be Re ed...I'm here now..we won and so I'm representin![]()
sons real talk from a REAL Lakers fan
Lakers made their 99% of their freethrows and got a few more calls. It's homecourt so that's standard for ANY team. Legit win by L.A. imo
Agreed. OKC (jump shooting team) shot way too many FTs. That was some bull .![]()
LMAO!!
son ignorance is bliss
your boy Kobe is a jump shooter who has made most of his living at the freebie line! explain that!
There were at least two BS Harden "fouls" on Kobe. But I'm not to complain. The Lakers won.
Yeah it was rigged in favor of the Lakers, but OKC gets more than its fair share of bull reffing (as does Miami), so I kind of don't mind.
Lakers haven't had rigged reffing in their favor for a solid 2 years now. This is the first game since game 7 of the 2010 Finals that the Lakers have received such a blatant rigged game, but OKC has received numerous key rigged calls in their favor over the last 1-2 years, albeit not necessarily all at once like L.A. did tonight.
Looked legit to me. I enjoyed the game with great zeal.
Non-aggressive jump-shooting teams don't get that many free-throws. So many bull calls.
OKC is going to have regroup, and take this game as learning experience.
You have to play better/harder if you want to beat the Lakers and their refs.
I will think of a way tothis . BrB.
Yeah. Considering the amount of BS calls in Oklahoma City's favor, it all evened out.
Son Joey Crawford is as crooked as they come.
I have no idea how he still has a job in the NBA.......oh wait the whole system is based on croakeness.
Refs like Crawford are welcome here.
Probably the worst officiated game in recent memory.
Son the WWE does a better job than this. Truth.
