I didn't realize the Lakers have gone thru anything at all this season, other than being generally ignored. Of course, the Spurs are well accustomed to that...
The officials will have a new whipping boy in the playoffs. You know that he will not get any calls and it will be frustrating for you to see him have to go thru bull like that. Tim Duncan will take the place of Kobe Bryant, as a superstar who can't buy a call. Good luck with that!

Kobe Bryant -- who shot 50 more free throws this season than anyone else in the Association and was one of only 2 guys (along with D. Wade) to shoot more than 10 free throws per game -- couldn't buy a call this year?
Lakerfan must think Kobe deserves to go to the line every time he's breathed upon.
It will be interesting to see how the fouls go between Denver, with two superstars who can make flashy plays, and the Spurs who play a gritty style of defense.
I seriously doubt Duncan will be on the receiving end of more bad calls than average.
As for Kobe, hey, how's he doing? Has he been flinging elbows into anyone's faces lately?
Kobe was definitely ignored when being fouled last season. He took a beating with no calls from the ref's. Anytime a player takes 33 shots and goes to the line 4 times, you know he's not getting calls.
There's some proportionate allocation of FTA to FGA? Funny, I thought a player had to be fouled before he went to line, whether he took one shot in a game or one hundred.
The crying about Kobe getting "no calls" is ridiculous when you consider that nobody in the league shot more free throws this year.
No, just everytime he's fouled. Im sure Kobes FGA was more than any other player in the league, so of course the stats will show him shooting 10 freethrows a game. How many shots did Wade put up to go to the line 10 times a game?
I'm sure you were still worried about Kobe getting "no calls" when he got 20 FTA on 21 FGA at Sacramento on 1/4; or when he got 19 FTA on 22 FGA against the Warriors on 1/22; or when he got 24 FTA on 22 FGA at Utah on 2/26; or maybe when he got 18 FTA on 19 FGA against Dallas on 3/11; and when he got 24 FTA on 27 FGA at Seattle on 4/6.
I'm sure.
I cant believe Laker fans are still crying. You should be thinking about the Suns, not the Spurs fortunes
of course it is. You can't go to the line often unless you shoot often. If you noticed all of the players with high FGA are leaders in Freethrows.
Given that logic, it's Carmelo Anthony, not Kobe Bryant, who should have the biggest complaint about officiating. Carmelo took .4 fewer shots per game than Kobe (22.8 FGA/g for KBB; 22.4 FGA/g for Melo) but only got to the line for 8.7 FTA/g. Melo hoisted up almost as many shots as Kobe did on a per ngiht basis, but got to the line for 2 fewer FTA every night.
Boo hoo for Kobe. But boo hoo hoo hoo for Carmelo. The plight of the disrespected, volume-shooting superstar. There just aren't enough officials who are willing to recognize their en lement to spend an evening on the free throw line.
I think that tradition started with Kareem.
Or against NJ, 8-24, 4 fT, or NO, 10-17, 2 FT, or Philadelphia 15-22, 2 FT. I could go on and on,

Thanks for the warning to your participation.
I wonder if the Referee's will have Crawford's number on their shoulders?![]()
Dude, you've been shown up. Quit before you get completely disgraced here. You have no validity to your off the cuff claims.
@ Spurs fans
Por que?
Why do you even care, the playoffs are about to start and your still crying about some that happened 2 months ago? Get over it. Laugh at Laker fans that still cat get over Kobes dirty elbows
You guys are legends in your own minds. It was just an observation and Timmie is already crying for fair calls in the playoffs. He knows its coming!
As could I. I just picked out a few examples to discredit your nonsensical whining.
Kobe gets more than his fair share of calls. I'm not sure why Lakerfan is so convinced that the league is out to get Kobe. Just because he doesn't get away with anything he wants to isn't proof that he's somehow being persecuted. Shooting more FT than anyone in the game is pretty significant proof that there isn't some agenda to withhold calls and deprive Kobe of his opportunity to score.
No he wasn't being ignored by the refs last season (05-06)

I did an analysis based on the FGA and FTAs, and I broke down the FGA based on 3pters, , outside shots excluding 3 pters, inside shots excluding dunks and tips, dunks, and tips shots.
Out of all NBA players, Kobe ranked 24th in terms of the difference between expected FTAs and actual FTAs.
BTW, if I remember correctly, Parker is somewhere in the bottom, which really isn't surprising given how often he scores on layups.
Likewise
Just a few examples amongst many to discredit your nonsense
