I don't want to hear Lakers fans EVER bitch about refs. This entire quarter has been nothing but a screw job. Including that push off.

LOL. Utah got their share of phantom calls in the 4th. Refs even gave Utah the charity of a T.

 

[AirBrian]

Cruella Deville is at the game?

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

Were you expecting anything different?

I should have known better.

 

[linsivvi]

LMAO @ commentary: "I gotta give Sasha credit he's 1/10 in the game and keeps shooting"

Yeah I was going to say that too. I bet he gave mad credits to Lebron.

Payback for screwing over the Rockets, I look forward to having some delicious bitter tears fedex'd from Utah soon.

 

[KolosLazar16]

I should have known better.

It's not like the same didn't happen in Utah.

 

[layzie1989]

Lakers got screwed tonight by the refs

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Yeah I was going to say that too. I bet he gave mad credits to Lebron.

"Lebron's shot 26% in this series, but he's been playing great"
- Mike Fratello or Dick Stockton tonight

 

[jordan0386]

Damn, he coulda set his feet on that one.

 

[NomarTyme]

This game not over yet, especially with Deron. I hate Deron.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

wtf? what good does a 2 do for you?

 

[layzie1989]

Is it deRON williams, or DERon williams?

 

[shibby]

Nice Boozer. But about 48 minutes too late.

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

Holy shit @ that push off. Christ. Right in front of the ref too.

 

[Gigglepoo]

At least this series is close, those Spurs games just suck.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I don't want to hear Lakers fans EVER bitch about refs.

All of them combined don't bitch as much as you do.

 

[QVT]

I don't want to hear Lakers fans EVER bitch about refs. This entire quarter has been nothing but a screw job. Including that push off.

To think, we were saying this after Lebron appears to be incapable of actually shooting a basketball and you're all "nuhuh the finalz"

 

[NomarTyme]

Ok game over. I say WOW at Kobe tonight.

 

[Vyer]

If Okur hadn't been so focused on trying to sell/exaggerate a push, he might have been able to get a hand on that ball.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Pau esta EL TIGRE.

RAWR

 

[woodchuck]

you never actually see gasol pushing okur. you only see okur flopping like a bitch

 

[DY_nasty]

you never actually see gasol pushing okur. you only see okur flopping like a bitch

:lol

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

I just hope New Orleans closes out San Antonio, but it won't happen. Almost everyone playing in the playoffs can't seem to win on the road (except for Detroit).

 

[aznpxdd]

you never actually see gasol pushing okur. you only see okur flopping like a bitch

Basically. It could have been a push, but the replay didn't have Pau in it.

 

[dralla]

if Okur would've boxed out instead of flopping he would've had the rebound. too bad

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Lakers are finished..

there's a bit of juice in you, yet.

 

[Cloudy]

Man, I feel dirty after this game. I'll take the win but eh...

Don't get me wrong, the Jazz played pretty shitty too and deserved to lose but I thought the Lakers got A LOT of calls in the 4th quarter tonight.

Jazz got calls in Utah too but damn. Lakers got away with several pushoffs and charges. Unrel :lol

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

I think the Lakers would rather see New Orleans than the Spurs.

:lol you're only saying that because kobe did shit in the 4th

 

[Karakand]

I think the Lakers would rather see New Orleans than the Spurs.

Absolutely.

 

[linsivvi]

I think the Lakers would rather see New Orleans than the Spurs.

Definitely. Especially with Kobe's injury, the last thing they want is to play an even more physical team than Utah.

 

[The Chosen One]

Bullshit. Did you miss that ESPN article that showed fourth quarter stats? He's the most clutch player in the league.

Huh? Reading is fundamental. Go back and read my post. I was referring to this game not season play.

I know the Lebron fluffers can't handle any criticism of their man but relax.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

shit son, i don't have a joke for this one.

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

Definitely. Especially with Kobe's injury, the last thing they want is to play an even more physical team than Utah.

Detroit is a nightmare match-up for the Lakers though. I think they can handle Boston, but Detroit is a physical team and they're even deeper than the Jazz.

 

[DY_nasty]

I think that points in the 4th star is over-rated too.

I mean, T-mac and KG can score all the damned points and carry their team but if they miss the game winning shot was that make them? There were a bunch of other lames on that list too Absinthe.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Detroit is a nightmare match-up for the Lakers though. I think they can handle Boston, but Detroit is a physical team and they're even deeper than the Jazz.

It would be a damn good series actually. And at least the Pistons would be a threat to win in LA. Boston should just forfeit road games at this point.

 

[jobber]

Deron needs to tell everyone to fuck off and just score on his own. I dont trust Boozer, Ashton Kutcher, or the Commie to come up with a basket.

Billie King was guest hosting on nba radio today. He said Kyle actually hates being compaired to Kutcher. So much so that'll he fight you about it.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Holy hell, Laker-age, those refs saved your asses tonight. Talk about a screw job. Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on the refs for the first time in the playoffs.

-Sasha dives and goes to the line for two when it should have been a TO (right after Boozer got hacked to bits on the other end)
-Kobe gets a 3 point play in the lane with nobody touching him late in the 3rd
-Odom gets a 3 point play in the 4th with nobody touching him
-Gasol gets TWO push off rebounds late in the fourth
-Deron could call LAPD and file a molestation report against Fisher and Derek would be pleading no contest

The amount of touch fouls LA got was criminal in the 3rd.

Total rip job.

It will fall on deaf ears. A lost cause.

it wasn't a screw job. You're team played like bitches in the 4th. Okur should worry more about securing the rebound than flopping.

 

[DY_nasty]

Kyle Korver is a pussy...

Launch the .gifs

the jazz lost because Boozer came up tiny in the 4th. He missed a ton of inside shots when they went to him. I'll admit the calls were in our favor overall this game, but that doesn't cost you the game. Its just an excuse.

 

[layzie1989]

.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I'm calling bullshit on that.

Find it. If anything I was a bit sympathetic toward Houston at times.

Edit: I'm going to bed, I'll review your research in the morning. Three indoor soccer games and a close playoff game can be draining for one night.

 

[VPhys]

Hyundai commercial sucks. It's 10:30pm and every time it comes on I have to rush to turn down the TV volume as to not annoy the neighbors.

This is incorrect. If five calls go the Lakers' way (and they did) then it cost the Jazz the game.

 

[aznpxdd]

Jazz blew all 5 of their chances to take the lead, stop using refs as an excuse.

Bad calls (unless its under a minute) rarely decide the game.
