Lakers will lose this series. It's just a shame that the NBA has the refs calling bullcrap just to keep the series competitive. I know that the Lakers are the money makers for the NBA but let's be serious here! Ask Sacramento last year about the refs. It's really getting out of hand!

I swear this game was fixed. Tony Parker made great passes into the lane all day. And he throws it right to Kobe with plenty of time left?? I swear, inbounding the ball was the only thing that the Spurs didn't rely on Tim Duncan to do for them. And they can't even do that right.

Quick note, All the Spurs centers and forwards were in foul trouble most of the game and Shaq only had 2 maybe 3 fouls all game. Let's be serious!

they never went at shaq. they used duncan to go at madsen, horry, and walker. that's why THOSE guys had all the fouls.

on laker offense, lakers went through shaq to get fouls on willis, duncan, and robinson.



it's funny how when people don't get their way, they always look for a scapegoat. american culture i guess. noone wants to take or admit blame.

Everytime Shaq had the ball, they called a foul on the Spurs whether they actually fouled him or not. Then you see the refs over there laughing and high fiving the Lakers. Spurs not only had to beat a good Laker team but they had to beat these crooked refs as well. They had no chance. They were killing the Lakers then the NBA\Refs decided that we couldn't have our money makers out of the playoffs so early. We need to have Jack Nicholson and them dropping big money for a few more games.


Let's not even talk about Shaq flopping against David Robinson either.

bad calls by refs, spurs had to get killed to get a call as where ANYTHING mildly agressive on SA parts drew a foul.

you = ludacris = ludicrous.

get over it. it was a fairly called game. there was that call against fisher in the First half that SHOULD have been against the spurs.

it wasn't refs that decided the disparity in penalties it was the aggressiveness of the play. Lakers were consistently more aggressive throughout the game.

its all refs fault

what did they do?

nothing. it was an evenly called game, as most games in the playoffs have been. people just don't like it when their team loses.


Gotta agree with this. I am guilty of it just as much as the next person. I put to much blame towards the refs on Game 1 and 2, but I'm over it.

Funny how you neglect to mention that in the first couple of games Duncan had more FT attempts than the whole Laker team did, those weren't bad calls, were they?

Shaq fouls out of 5 games all year, yet in game 1 they called 6 on him, 3 of the ones that I saw were awful calls, BS tickytack calls, but those were right now too right?

Face it, the refs have been calling the games in favor ot the home team, regardless which team it is.
