I've watched this team win 90 games so far this season. WIN 90 GAMES. Whose take is tougher to figure out again? Exactly.
Channel changed. I'm not watching Kobe Bryant travel to get to the basket, get touched, then shoot free throws.
Boston played terrible and now the series should be even free throw wise. Lakers got every call and nothing went boston way. Oh well its still bostons series to lose
What irked me was the 4-5 travel calls on Boston that were so bad. You can call those travel calls about 10-15 times a game if your consistent. Still fail to see how they don't call traveling on Vlad in game 2 where he took 6 steps.
Another game and another reason why the NBA is losing so many viewers and this also supports what Donaghy said today.
The officials get way into involved in the games. If your going to call it for 1 team you sure as hell better call it for the other team. What I really hate is when they call a foul on the defense when its the offense that inciates all the contact. I don't know how many times I see a player throw their arm, shoulder, body into a defender and get a call its stupid it makes no sense.
Oh so basically it's ok for the Celtics to get all the calls at home but when the Lakers get some calls it's wrong?? PLEASE
Guess you also missed the Spurs series. Ginobli might as well have a bus pass all the time and there was one Duncan drive and dunk where he took like 4 steps. Refs are horrible about calling walking in general in the NBA
2 wrongs don't make a right ..no1 really cares about last series anymore, aaaaaaand the spurs can say the same things
The difference is Lakers didn't attack the basket in Boston, in LA they attacked the rim. The Agressive team will get the calls.
I was just pointing out some examples of poor calls pertaining to walking violations. Just because you don't like the Lakers....you don't have to direct your anger at me
6 steps? Really? A 6'10" player who took six steps would have had to start somewhere beyond the three point line. Me thinks you are stretching the truth by about 3 steps or so. I will say that they should either commit to calling traveling or abolish it all together. I agree that I saw more traveling calls tonight tha I can remember ever in a single game, yet there were times where both teams were traveling worse than what was called. It is just so downright inconsistant that you have to just shake your head and throw your hands up in protest. The NBA really needs to do something to fix their borken system.
That's all you've got LA? You're counting on "no shampoo" Sasha to play like that the rest of the series? Good luck with that, haha! I do know exactly what you can depend on during this series, you can expect Gasol to play like a overgrown woman who just got her nails done.
Hmm guess the Lakers stopped playing 'soft' getting to the line 34 times? I guess all the talk about how the Celtics were so much tougher, amazingly not so one the road apparently, was bunk? Amazing.
LOL.. "Bunk".. I bet you COULDN'T WAIT to post this after you read the box score this morning.. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. The C's are the tougher team man, get over it.
if Kobe keeps on doing his D-Wade impersonation and just attack attack attack....the Lakers will win this series.. As soon as he starts shooting jumpers again...it is over.
Laker-haters and Celtic-bandwagoners run rampant here. I'd have thought since so many Patriots are rooting for the Celtics that Dolphins fans would go the other way but oh well.
OOOOOOO calling out peoples allegiance to the dolphins haha. Please I have always hated the lakers always will. Screw them. It has nothing to do with the dolphins.
Yes because L.A. lives and dies with what Sasha does. Nevermind that guy named Kobe who is pretty good in his own right. Besides, Sasha has been more consistant in these playoffs than Ray Allen, he just doesn't take as many shots. Furthermore, I would look for Lamar to be much more aggressive in game 4. Something that seemed to go unnoticed by ost was that late in the game, he was able to get to the hoop on KG without a problem. That is something htat prior to then, he hadn't even really attempted. Granted, he couldn't get the ball to drop, but the looks were there and it led to offensive rebounds and putbacks for Pau. I think Lamar should and will exploit that in game 4 early. Hopefully for L.A.'s sake it pays off. It will hopefully be a good game either way.
Well as the old saying goes, "nobody likes a winner..." Considering we are all Dolphins fans, I tend to agree with that statement.
Sasha is our franchise player. TRADE KOBE TO THE HEAT OR MAGIC OR WHATEVER. LO and Pau have yet to play anywhere near their level though mostly because LO's been in foul trouble and Pau hasn't really shown that fire that got Spain deep in world championships.
Okay he took 4 steps and thats traveling. Yes traveling is the worst thing ever. Every player does it, they seem to call the ones that don't look so bad but they seem to miss the easy ones. lol@this post. Lakers got lucky Sasha bailed them out. Are you counting on Pierce and KG both shooting like crap for the next 2 in LA? Lakers only had 2 players in double figures they wont win the series if that continues.
I think if Kobe keeps playing like he did last night and Pierce/Garnett have the type of night they did then the Lakers will win. But I think both things have to happen for the Lakers. IMO
I don't expect Pau and Odom to continue their funk. Eventually they'll get it together especially Odom once he gets out of foul trouble.
