Good luck with officiating in the WCF

[ruxpin810]

Teams that are aggressive and get to the line win more? You don't say! Great info. Thank you! Must be part of the game or something.

By the way, what does that have to do with " officiating"?

You obviously missed the point because everyone knows getting to the line more doesn't mean you'll win, proven by the lakers/thunder series. I guess I don't know know enough about the spurs/pop to bring up the issue of bad refereeing. jst speaking from observation of the lakers/thunder series so I would expect the same thing for this series so I hope that the spurs/pop do know how to deal with it cuz I would like them to get to the finals.

No, I didn't miss your point, which is pretty clear. You think the Lakers got screwed by the officials against OKC (lol) and you brought up free throw attempt statistics to back up your case. The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other. It's not at all surprising that a fan of the team and the player who get more favorable calls than any organization in the history of sports would be in here whining after his team got face ed.

Here's a novel idea: Ask why your superstar insists on taking a huge volume of low percentage shots every game!

If u think Kobe gets all the calls, you're gonna love durant, Westbrook and harden. And even wit kobe's high volume of shots, he still averaged less free throws per game than 3 players in the playoffs and most likely more in the regular season. And I love how everyone is so defensive even when I'm on your side. I'm sure it's because I'm a laker fan but what has the lakers ever done to you or the spurs for you to hate them so much?

There you go again. What do field goal attempts have to do with free throw attempts? Kobe shoots a higher percentage of fade-away 20 footers and threes off the dribble than any two players, shots that don't draw fouls for anyone else in the world, yet Kobefan whines because he's only fourth in free throw attempts.

Nobody's defensive but you. I'm sorry that you come in here spouting logical fallacy after logical fallacy and are surprised that people point it out to you. It would perhaps be a good idea to look elsewhere for allies in your "Lakerz wuz scrooed by thuh refs" argument. I know Venti should know better. Now you do too.

I have not said one bad thing about the spurs and you attack me with lakers this and kobe that, how can u tell me I'm the one being defensive? Even spurs fans admitted that the lakers got screwed man. Put down the haterade, I'm on ur side.

[ruxpin810]

I did not whine about Kobe being 4th. I did not once say Kobe didn't get enough free throw attempts. My only complaint was Perkins getting away with moving picks and I expect he will too against the spurs and thats why I agreed with venti. Relax bro.

[ruxpin810]

and how can you say what I said was fallacy when first u agreed with me that the team that gets to the line more win and then laugh cuz you feel that the lakers got the benefit of the whistle in the series but lost? Ur so defensive that you don't even know what ur saying anymore ;-)

Lakers got screwed.
Lakers got screwed by the officials.

Put down the haterade, I'm on ur side.

Translation: I want to be on your side if you agree that the Lakers got screwed by the officials*.

Lakers got screwed in one single series in their entire history: Boston 2008.
That's it.

One.

On the other side, there might be some 20 series in which the Lakers were handed the vicotry.
Starting with the Denver series, in which Artest should have never ever played G7.

Come here and post that the business-wise irrelevant OKC screwed the lakers thanks to officiating is insulting to common sense.

Lakers are a franchise that is meant to win for all those that lose in everyday's life.
There is a Lakers team in every sport in every country.

Sorry, "bro", I missed how moving picks were relevant when you said this:

And even wit kobe's high volume of shots, he still averaged less free throws per game than 3 players in the playoffs and most likely more in the regular season.

Wait a sec...you mean the Lakers got more free throw attempts than the Thunder? Holy . I didn't realize that. Totally missed that little nugget earlier.

And you guys still have the balls to come in here and suggest that the refereeing didn't go your way?

Holy .

[temujin]

And, in fact, this guy is here with "sympathy" precisely because he thinks the Spurs will win this year.

Classic loser.

You dont' win anything.

WE don't win anything, in fact.
Players win.

Yeah, ing Joey Crawford is to blame for the 39 point margin of victory in game six.

[ruxpin810]

I only brought up everything you quoted because u brought it up first. If u look at the first page, I posted a video of perkins getting away with moving picks. And look at the first few posts by spurs fan, they said lakers got screwed. I nerve once said lakers got screwed until u brought it up homie ;-)

[ruxpin810]

I'm new to the forum but I bet even spurs fans here hate the 2 of u guys replying to me rite now. Spurs fans, back me up ;-)

[temujin]

We have the lakerized version of KBP.

Are you greek?

[temujin]

Yeah, ing Joey Crawford is to blame for the 39 point margin of victory in game six.

2008 had Boston written all over the playoffs.

[ruxpin810]

And u dont have to agree wit me that the lakers got screwed for me to be on ur side. I am on ur side but u guys are getting so butt hurt about me even being in ur forum that I'll be laughing if the thunder win the series cuz the only way that will happen is by them getting screwed

[ruxpin810]

I don't know who KBP is but I have a feeling we'd get along very well. And no, I'm not Greek.

[ruxpin810]

I do admire u guys for not letting officiating get to u guys. In all honesty, I really hope the spurs can keep playing thru the refs and beat the thunder.

Indiana Ron did foul that player in the air. Mental World Piece blocked the ball with one hand, with the other he pushed, don't remember who was, Westbrook or perhaps Sefolosha.

That were 4-5 costly points, but the Lakers lost because Durant and Westbrook were able to make very difficult shots down the stretch, while Kobe bricked almost everything, also the Lakers offensive excecution was horrible from mid third. The Lakers offensive sets only produced bad shots.

2008 had Boston written all over the playoffs.

That's true, though we know now that Rondo is way better than we all thought he was at the time.

Speaking of moving screens, Laker fan couldn't possibly come in here whining about moving picks last round and not mention 2008, but the Celtics have been doing that since Garnett arrived with impunity.

What killed the Lakers most in 2008 was that the most clutch guy in the league was wearing green.

If that were all that was going on by itself that flagrant wouldn't have been called, but then again, it wouldn't have happened. Artest was getting out of control and was getting physical after whistles, pushing and being a nuisance, and he wasn't getting the better of it for his trouble. Everyone watching the game could see his frustration level going up and everyone watching the game knew he was going to commit a flagrant on that breakaway.

[temujin]

Speaking of 2008, Spurs had to play G1 of the WCF 36 hours after the Hornets in G7 in NO.

To the advantage of............
LAkers shouldn't have gotten to the Finals in the first place, in 2008.
So I just loved the screwing of 2008.

[Kidd K]

^ Agreed. And don't forget the no call against Fisher when he tackled Brent Barry. Or the late game ref screwjob in game 1.

If you're watching Game 5 right now, that is the kind of officiating that San Antonio is going to get against Reflahoma City.

I knew this well before the playoffs even began tbh. OKC has gotten very favorable officiating since last season really. I can't even count how many times I've watched an OKC game and they've made some "comeback" that has included a TON of free throws and whistle swallowing when they're fouling on defense. Almost every comeback I've seen them make has been ref-assisted.

Whereas when I watch the Spurs, their comeback and runs always happen when the refs stop projecting their s into the game to get on tv.

I'm definitely worried about the officiating. I'm honestly worried about the calls more than I am OKC themselves. If the game's called fairly, I'm fully confident SA can beat them unless someone important blows out a knee. So the Spurs are going to have to just play that much better to overcome the inevitable favorable calls OKC is going to be getting even when the games aren't being played @OKC.

That's why I laughed at those OKC fans in the game 3 thread who were complaining about the officiating. As if OKC wasn't going to get a deluge of calls in the next 2 games and rest of the playoffs.
