Lakers are a finesse team. Fadeaways and pussy hookshots aren't gonna get called. They were hacking at Powe all night because he's physical. Lakers shouldn't hack so much. Plain and simple.
Kobe didn't shoot FT's 'cause the Boston's D is the one of the best in defensive without fouls in the NBA.

Like when the Spurs were jobbed out of game 4 at Staples in 2003 with 5 more FGs when Shaq and Kobe combined for 45 free throws? The game LA won while shooting 39% thanks to having Bennett Salvatore in your pocket?
Leon Powe did get fouled, nobody is disputing that. But so did Kobe, Gasol, Farmar, and Odom. That's the problem, there is no consistency.
2 more wins and that sign Garnett is conveniently holding in your avatar has a permanent tear right down the middle my friend.
That was just an extremely well-called game.
The officiating in Boston is another black-eye for the NBA...it's hardly watchable anymore...
I fail to understand how any NBA fan who wants to see good basketball would be happy about lopsided officiating against any team.
...that's cause most of these guys could give a rat's ass about the NBA...unless they are kissing Spurs ass.....
They want a game 7
We all saw the 4th quarter when the refs let both teams play somewhat. Complete domination.
Word has it that Phillatio the Overrated is about to get hit with a fine between $25,000-$50,000, according to a source on the radio out here.
I heard & read that Phil Jackson also mispronounced Leon Powe's name last night.
he sounded it like pweee
No surprise to the unsung Powe.
He pronounced it "Pow" - similar to how you would pronounce Gasol's first name, but he corrected himself.
please allow me to introduce you to kettle.....
Have no fear, Lakers Fans -- Mark Wunderlich will be in the building tonight to call his first-ever Finals game and be emasculated, then bullied around by Jack Nicholson as he was in Game 3 of the Spurs/Lakers series in 2003!!
As an added bonus, Joey "didn't see Fisher foul Barry" Crawford will be on hand to not see any number of obvious fouls that might adversely affect the Lakers.
FWD - I think I love you. Will you marry me? I'm pretty sure SFIE won't mind. In fact, he'd love to have someone as knowledgeable as you around to talk to. We both cook pretty well, and I bake amazing things. I make the best homemade fudge ever. Pretty please?
^Gets it.

Anyone who can watch that and honestly say the Lakers didn't get ed is a babbling moron, period.
Stern wanted the Lakers in the finals, but there was no hint whatsoever that he wanted them to win.
The oldies in Boston deserve one le.
Anyway, it's going to be 2-1 with lots of FTs for the little kobe.
The series will go back to Boston 3-2, and the Celtics will have in 6.
So freaking predictable.
Real basketball fans don't watch stuff that results from McHale-Garnett-Boston and West-Gasol-LA connections.
That stuff is business not basketball.
You read about it in the WSJ.
I disagree. But I do wonder: when the Lakers outshoot the Celtics by some astronomical number of FTA in one of the games in LA, will you be here to whine about the officiating then, too?
Nbadan is a 911 "twoofer". 'Nuff said.
F the Lakers - the Spurs had ALL the reasons to complain for Game 1 and Game 4 (Kobe's push on Bruce and Fisher's leaning on Barry), BUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT - this is the difference between a classy team and a BOGUS DOG ...
To hear the best whining ever, go here at noon pacific/2 central:
