Infuriating game to watch if you're a Lakers fan, between the cheap shots (Kobe trip in particular), bad calls, and the downright refusal to grab loose balls. Dahnte Jones drove twice in the last two minutes, when the game was over - would it have been too much to ask for Mbenga to put him on his ass?
Overall, LA's probably lucky they didn't lose by 30+.
The officiating in the playoffs overall has been absolutely horrific - they've bounced between missing clear violations and calling every little thing. It's pretty unbelievable, and it's a shame that the refs are so sheltered at this point... Frankly, if I made as many mistakes as some of these guys are making, I would be worried about job security.
Anyone complaining about the Lakers being the recipient of cheap shots and bad calls = :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
To be honest I'm not really sure what you're referencing, but there hasn't been much of a back-and-forth in this series, and in the previous series it's gone both ways. Within the scope of this game, it was just one more thing that bothered me. It's all the more annoying when the refs somehow miss the call.
Uh did you see Kobe kneeing and elbowing shane battier? And also elbowing ron artest? The guy is a cheap shot artist and a scumbag. And Kobe is the beneficiary of calls all the time.
