The luck factor evened out there -- while Lewis did make a tough shot, if he had looked up, he had Redick wide open for an uncontested three.
which team has more points in the paint and which team has more free throws? those probably shouldn't be significantly in opposite directions like they are (i'm guessing LA has more point paints b/c i don't know where the stat is but it seems like they have to be significantly ahead).
Other than kobe falling down on his own a few seconds ago, this game has been called evenly. Complaing about calls or yelling for conspiracy theories over this game make you look lame. Evenly called game.
how was that bump b/t ariza/hedo not a foul? call something. these refs are vastly inconsistent it's pathetic.
And I'll pose the question again. If Kobe were ever bumped hard around a screen the way Turkoglu just was, is there any official on the planet who wouldn't call the foul?
You're alone on an island with this "The Lakers are getting screwed!" thing you keep trying to sell. Just stop.
Ariza bumping all over Turk no calls. I don't mind letting the teams play but the nba is so inconsitent on that. If they do the same garbage for the Lakers here I am done.
Turk was fouled - that was awful. I mean, you can't allow that much of a bump without a call. What a travesty. Instead of getting ft's or the last shot, they gave L.A. the game. But why on earth is carlos Lee taking the most important shot in orlando magic history? Rashard? Howard??
That should never be a foul call. The only reason it is is because the refs stuck to that stupid mandate by Stern to call ticky-tack perimeter stuff to open up scoring. I wouldn't be suprised if Stern & co. try to adjust that mandate in the off-season.
of course, it's good defense for everyone on this board. but hitting kobe on a jumper is a bail-out by the refs.
These are the type of dumb comments from posters that piss me off !!! There was no foul. Stop blaming the refs. Silly trend.
