    The problem is the refs are calling this game on the reputation of the teams involved, not on what's actually going on in the game.

    I had no problems with the calls that Powe was getting, he was mostly getting fouled IMHO. The problem is the Lakers weren't getting the same touch fouls on the other end. Gasol would go up for an alley-oop and get raked across the arms by KG with no call whatsoever. Kobe would drive to the hoop and get his arm held back and no call would be made. If your going to call the game tight then fine, just be consistent on both ends is all I ask for. The Lakers are a good enough team to win in spite of some home cooking, but a 28 F/T disparity is just too much for any team to overcome.
    This is the Finals, son, you can't bring your soft, weak-ass game in here. The Fakers just don't have any muscle.

    Another stupid post from perhaps the least knowledgeable poster on this site.

    The Lakers had more points in the paint than Boston, they were punishing them inside.

    The NBA sending two Circle of 7 Fixer Refs (Delaney and Mauer) was certainly no accident. If they aren't going to change the bad group of officials, at least start assigning them randomly.

    The game was obviously fixed for Boston, even if the Lakers come back to "win" the series it is clear the NBA has lost all credibility. Might as well get worked about the WWF or watch the X games or something.
    HAHA, your team is soft, always has been. Games 1-2 sure looked alot like the WCF minus the tired old legs and every other day schedule. Lakers are Kobe Bryant and a puff of smoke. Take a quote from pop's book, it wasn't the refs your team definitely lacked aggression and defense. WHen Kobe's not winnin, the real him comes out-"Im the best, I need to shoot all the shots, my crappy team, you Pau, everyone"-and they'll always lose when he gets like that. Your right the FTA will change when they get to LA, but itll prolly be more even and the outcome will be the same. Your delusional if you think the lakers are better than what they've shown. Theyve been played almost exactly the same way in the Spurs series. If you havent forgotten, Kobe didnt shoot that many FT's then either. Could it be the fear of reinjuryin his questionably injured pinky finger? All I know is regardless to what you think happened in the paint (which mite look obscured due to the fact that when the celts penantrated they got foul calls), your team has been exposed for what it is: A soft defensive team, who when not winnin the wheels fall off! Go suck Kobe's

    the Lakers will get all the calls the next two games, why whine?
    EXACTLY, expect some garb calls next game on K.G when Lamar goes soft to the hole like a impotent male.

    I'm more concerned about the phantom calls on Kobe with all of the clutching and grabbing he was held a few times with no call. This is what turns teams into jump shooting.
    Funny, I thought Kobe should have been thrown out the game as much yellin he was doin at the refs and his team. I understand this is the Finals and all the stars have to be there, but damn, duncan got throw out for laughin ON THE BENCH. When are the refs gonna grow a pair and put Kobe in his place? I mean all he did the whole game was chunk up shots and yell at the refs. He got a T and continued to yell at the refs...once again Kobe hasnt been shootin that many FTs in the last 2 rounds, maybe that should be more attributed for the fact that all Kobe wants to do is shoot fade away jumpers, SOFT !!!!!

    LOL did you just say Atlanta? The sub-500 team that wouldve been in like 12th place in the West that took the almighty Celtics to game 7?

    2 of the 3 teams you just mentioned wouldnt have even made the playoffs in the West. What exactly are you trying to get at?


    Say what you want but any team with Josh Smith, Childress, Marvin Williams, Joe Johnson, Mike Bibby, and Al Horford is anything but soft. They might be young and because of it an up and down team but they aren't soft. They have more athleticism than most NBA teams. If they bring their A game to the playoffs, they are as tough as anyone but for their inexperience and inconsistency they lost to the Celtics, the number one seed, and pushed them to 7 games.

    Kobe has some legit beefs on a few no-calls. But he and KG need to stop chucking up fadeaways and jumpers. Only difference is that KG has had Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and [role player spot currently occupied by Leon Powe] step up, while Kobe has had zero help. They had a chance to use Pau's great first half as momentum, but went away from throwing it down low for some reason. Odom is more concerned with who he's going to throw to the ground next than getting into some semblance of a rhythm. Vlad will hit a few nice 3's and then airball/bank the next few... if he doesn't turn it over. Fisher is playing his normal self, but he's having a tough time keeping up with Rondo.

    Well no the Lakers didn't get all the calls. Guess what? You're never going to. They will get more at home, though, and I don't understand why they resort to ing about officials only after a loss. Very petty, from the coach to the players. They were shooting a lot of jumpshots last night; when they did attack the rim, not much was called. I think they need to get the over it and play. When they finally did last night, they cut a 24 point deficit to 2. Every ing team in the league has battles with officiating. The good teams play through it and win no matter what.

    Dan Crawford hates the Lakers.


    Actually, the foul disparity had nothing to do with the fact that the "black Mamba" was clanking shots for the first half of the game.

    This series reminds me of 2004 and the five game sweep of the lakers. Stern wanted his "dream team" in the finals and once they were there. He allowed the Pistons to beat the crap out of them. They were very physical with them. Stern wants his ratings bonaza. He doesn't care about the winner. Does anybody else remember when Stern changed the playoff format in order to benefit the lakers? We wussed out in 2004 after the .4 crap and KG and co. were robbed. The lakers embarrassed the West with that poor showing in the finals and it was extremely pleasurable to watch them get beaten like a bald headed step child.

    Bottomline....I'm glad they are getting hosed by the refs. Lets see if it continues in LA.
    I have a feeling that Joey is on the way to set things right.

    Laker fans? , Phil went off about Leon Powe getting FT attempts. I guess he missed Odom, Gasol, and co. fouling the out of Leon because they suck balls as interior defenders.
    Thats because Odom, Gasol & co. are SOFT! Now the whole league and parts of the world will now know!!!!

    When your guys get called for touch fouls after touch fouls (back2back on every instance, Gasol, Kobe, Odom, etc) to start the first quarter, it doesn't help. Sure I knew it was 22-20 by the end of the first, but I also knew the game was over with the way they were calling it one end, and the other.. those fouls hurt as the game goes on, as evident by that JV team Phil had to start out there in the 2nd quarter.. and players are also unable to sustain their aggressiveness as a result of those fouls. I enjoyed the hackjobs by the Celtics and all those calls (or non-calls) with the Lakers going to the rim, but I prefer them calling it the same on the other end - fouls ac ulate and it affect the way people play. Laughed particularly hard when Pierce made love to Kobe's right arm forcing Kobe to shoot and make a floater with his left. I really "hated" that make up non-call travel by Radmanovic though, created an illusion that the bad officiating was at least slightly both ways. There's still hope, we all witnessed the 2006 NBA Finals where David showed his hatred towards Mark Cuban and lovejoy to his new superstar Wade.

    So what's the big deal, I didn't see you whining about injustices being committed by the officials when they were hosing the Spurs...

    I wonder if Phil Jackson will stick around if he doesn't win it in the next couple years, especially if they are knocked out before the Finals next year. On the one hand I'm sure he's itching to beat Red's record but on the other I feel like he's breaking down a bit mentally (unfortunately I don't think this is helped by his physical problems.) I've always enjoyed how he plays with the media (especially against Popovic in '00-'03, it was sweet overcoming that and moving on to ring city) and the best has to be when he totally dismantled Portland's confidence in the '92 Finals before the series even started. Vintage. That PJackson is gone, IMO, and so is '92 MJ. Now it just seems like -assness. The difference b/w 3x3-peat Phil and '04 loss-present Phil is that instead of playing mind games with his opponents players and coaching staff he's passive-aggressively whining at the refs in the post-presser. Where's the Phil constantly pointing out the C's almost total lack of playoff/Finals experience, or the fact that he's beaten KG before? 0-2, too late for that now. Softy. I believe if filters down to the players too, if daddy's justifying the loss I don't think the players focus as much on cleaning up their offense/defense to win game 3-on. This is where I believe it pays to be a no-excuses team - we may be out now but watch out for postseason '09, we will be hungry and acutely focused.

    apparently nobody is ever allowed to have a good game or they will blame refs.

    Watch the game. Leon Powe DOMINATED. That sounds funny, but he did. He lived under the basket, and that is why he got calls.

    Lakers did not get screwed.
