ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 5/4/2009 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

The lakers are dirtier than the jazz!

 

Amen. Ariza traveled all over the place. Terrible job by the refs.

 

what a horrible quarter and terrible dribbling exhibition by Artest.

 

I'm very impressed with the Lakers' D. They're playing much harder and smarter than I expected from them, being huge favorites on several days' rest.

 

Deke would elbow someone and call it a day.

 

I'm sorry....I normally HATE the ref bandwagon.

But so far, this officiating has not only been highly questionable, this seems extremely highly suspicious of home court advantage and of blatant extreme favoritism.

On one end of the court, I see the Rockets being called for every shove or potential thing. On the other end, I see Battier getting a horrible cut and he has to beg the refs just to pay attention.

This is ridiculous. I hope it gets better in the second half, but for sure next game. And even better, I hope we can win this series with all of this horrible officiating - it'll make it that much better.

anybody else seen Kobe sneaking that elbow behind Shane's head earlier in the game

 

We really need to protect Yao. and really lack of bigs. Damn

 

The NBA is dirtier then the jazz

 

Nice Lowry!

 

LOWRY. IS. AWESOME.

 

Is Wafer OK? Very strange to replace him with Barry there; hope he didn't tweak his back again.

 

I love Lowry <3

 

Lowry!

 

I love how Lowry just took it right at the Lakers. We need more of that

 

Nice layup and rebound by Lowry.

 

i've been lurking on the site for years, never posted anything. But Kobe Sasha, the officiating, rritating me so much. I finally understand why people hate lakers so much.
