    I can see refs "padding" their stats (to look fair). Maybe that's another reason why you get screwy calls in games.

    No matter what, we need this win. I'd rather face a hobbled spurs with Tminus than OKC and the ninja turtle

    They're def getting home calls but nothing crazy. one of two players from the lakers consistently getting to the line and actually making free throws is out.
    Give howard what he wants. He's not making free throws anyway.

    The Lakers would have to shoot themselves out of this game to lose. Like 30% or less. All we have to do is let them shoot jump shot after jump shot. If they are hitting, tip your hat to them and get ready for OKC 4 -1 over the Rockets in 1st round. However, if LA is smart they will pound the Rockets on the blocks and watch the fouls and free throws add up to a LA win.

    Unless we go banana's from the 3 point line and run them off the court because Artest, Paul, and Dwight do not like to run the floor.

    • Lakers beat Rockets = Lakers 7th, Rockets 8th, Utah eliminated
    • Lakers lose to Rockets + Utah lose to Memphis = Rockets in 7th, Lakers 8th, Utah eliminated

    So Amy news on who the refs will be?

    I'm almost certain Crawford will be there...

    I didn't. DreaMac asked "Can the Lakers still be knocked out of playoffs" so I listed the possible Lakers scenarios for him/her.

    Personally, I don't really care what Portland does. As long as we get a win tonight, I'm happy. :)

    Will Joey Crawford be there? The answer to this question determines the outcome of this game.

    Joe Crawford or not, we are certainly not going to have a black ref tonight. Haha

    It took until the 4th quarter, but here it begins...

    5 fouls in 3 minutes, penalty for rest of the quarter in a tight game. We better start making these chunked up threes

    Everyone watching this game know it. The Rockets played really nice BBall for 3 quarters but the refs robbed the game in the early 4th qtr. It was like 5 fouls in 3 minutes. Suddenly team foul. Thank you refs.

    3 fouls in 90 seconds, 5 fouls in 185 seconds.

    I was the last guy to believe in the rigged ref conspiracy.

    consider me a believer

    Conspiracy my ass. Blame the dumb ass coach who had a small lineup trying to check two 7-footers.
