I watched most of the game. Missed the first quarter. Was out. Sadly missed the Philly game too. Looked liked a great comeback. I hate watching free throws. Going 41 - 42 is really impressive. Harden got the exact same call that Kobe got early in the 4th quarter. Again, the reffing was terrible in principle. But to say its intentionally biased is going too far.
I wont give the Lakers credit. It is what it is. Rigged to make the series longer. Joey Crawford is the man right in the middle as always. its too much coincidence. There isnt that much coincidence in real life.
I believe the ref who got caught in the betting scandal. I think Joey Crawford should be looked into.
Yeah, this game has nothing on Sacremento - Lakers. That game was SO INCONSISTENT. That was bias. That was rigged. Just watching the highlights pisses me off. This game was not inconsistent. It was just tightly reffed.
After Kobe picked up his second foul in the first quarter, he looked over to the bench to see if he was coming out and you could see Mike Brown's lips saying.."nah don't worry about it, we got Joey."
You really think Joey Crawford could get away with betting and rigging games in the world we live in today?
I hate clutchfans sometimes. Forcing me to defend Lebron and the ****ing Lakers. What you guys force me to do.
I'm okay with a lot of free throws if the team is taking it hard to the rack and getting hammered...but that just wasn't the case. After Harden had that amazing sequence late in the 4th, they call him for two ticky tack fouls (his 4th and 5th) away from the ball on Kobe. Not right.
You keep harping about the calls Harden drew with 7 minutes remaining vs. 3min and 1min Yes, they were similar. But no... they weren't.
It's alright... Lakers have too many screw looses in their org to not cancel each other out one way or the other.
These where game winning free throws for the Lakers on ticky tac calls. Back to back to back. That doesnt happen.
The foul with 1 minute left was a clear foul though. The one with 3 minute was the only real touch foul towards the end. Lakers outplayed OKC in Game 2 and then **** the bed.
Lakers had 28 FT deficiency in game 2 2008 finals against Celtics. 22, 20 and 17 FT deficiency in 3 road games against Thunders in 2010 playoff. Today they shoot 14 more with 4 of them intentional, it's not even close.
Classy Scott Brooks. He says nothing about the horrible refs. I feel bad for him. What a rip off. I am out for the rest of the season no matter if OKC wins. I hate being ripped off or scammed.
didn't watch the game. based on reading upon the entire thread, I gather theres a party that was pro-Lakers and their is a party thats pro-officiating. either way, I'm not gonna let my emotions flow out on this. Who wants to see 4-0 4-0 4-0 series? OKC has this series in the bag from the tip-off of the first game. Even if this game goes 7, I can't say I'm going to be worried at all. This OKC team dominates the entire league. If they don't get it done this year, they will for the next few years. Lakers are declining by the week.
