OMG those REFS got paid last night BIGTIME!! 8 sec rule?? turnover block by mercer at the half?? goaltending?? kobe's 3 step in OT??? no call lakers always get away with cheating that's why i hate them sooo much let alone dirty players like malone and payton, at least they caught KOBE cheatin!! im surprised pop-a-zit didnt go postal from the sidelines that was the WORST officiating Ive seen in a long time i cant wait til rox play them and show whose BOSS
How come when SA, Dallas, Minny, and the Kings lose to weak teams they are going to be all right, just part of an adjustment period. However when the Lakers WIN in an ugly fashion against a weak team, we are screwed? I love it when people only point out the refs bad calls going a certain way. I admit the Bucks got the crap end of the officiating stick, but the Spurs got away with a few and the Lakers got away with a few yesterday. If the game had been called perfectly, Lakers still win that game.
Manu back crossed over KB. That guy could shift weight so quickly. He's got crazy legs.. And Him talking trash with GP was fun to watch too.
Yeah, it's pretty harsh for Steve. I remember trying to defend Hakeem in '96 when he only averaged 26.9 points and only blocked 2.8 shots.
Just thought I'd bring this back up so that we can comment on the Lakers defence again.... Looks like they didn't get away with playing slack defence against the Hornets. The Laker's 'casual' fashion of play seems to be more than something that is happening 'at times' - it's three games in a row that they've given up 100+ points. That is a problem!
