Refs are clearly favoring the Lakers in this one. Durant got destroyed in the paint, and there was no call. Westbrook got hit on the head. No call. And a tech for like 3 seconds of complaining.
Feel bad for Westbrook there. Gets smacked in the head and then gets a technical for complaining about being smacked in the head.
Kobe doesn't even have to assist well for the Lakers to be good, because Nash can take care of that as the primary distributor. mHe just has to not chuck. That's why if he sat out, they'd be fine. Meeks is perfectly suitable as the SG in their offense.
That sequence right there is exactly why I despise officials to the extent I do. It's not just that many are poor at their jobs. It's the unfounded arrogance and hypocrisy. Any time one of them makes a mistake, we hear over and over how they're "human" and we should understand that missed calls are a part of the game. OK, fine. You know what else is human? If Russell Westbrook gets hit in the head by a seven-footer and doesn't get a whistle, he's going to be upset. Yet the official compounds his own error by not only taking away two free throws from OKC but giving one to the Lakers. Three-point swing on the whim of an incompetent spoiled brat. Folks always ask me when I'll ease up on officials. To me, it's pretty simple: when they give that same "human" courtesy to the players. I don't see those hypocrites going for it anytime soon.
It's a sad day (for the Lakers) when fans celebrate one decent regular season home victory like a championship. And a Lakers fan would say 'SWAGGGGG' like a complete dbag. LMFAO
Nice response. Beautiful. Outstanding. Stupendous. Unlike you, I appreciate the game and most of all appreciate greatness when it's set right in front of me.
Dwight just doesn't look like himself and maybe it is time to wonder if the Old Dwight will ever come back...
You're equating greatness to the Lakers? The 19-24 Lakers? The 19-24 Lakers with all that talent? It isn't as though they've triumphed through adversity. Hopefully you're not the type of fan who doesn't say anything when they lose, and then boast about how they're the best when they win.
