doesnt matter which team you are a fan of, that was a bad game to watch. The officiating is absoutly horrid both ways, it is ruining the games. The two early fouls on kobe were aweful. Paul Gasol on the break at the end traveled. It was a mess all around, they wont let them just play. They are so inconsistant its agrevating to watch. After the gambling debacle last year, the refs come into question...

However the out come got it right, Boston is just locking down on defense and deserves to be up 2-0.

2 wasnt it? or am i smoking crack?

yeah 2, and smoking crack is good too

But we were down my like 23 right? They were giving us a new one for a while! I was watching at the end of a pool/bbq party, I had to take many many breaks. Looked like all 30 of us were watching a depressing movie.

those refs.....Powe shot more free throws then the whole team........

Thats because Powe was getting fouled pretty hard and the ref's werent calling a "breathing" foul on whoever was guarding kobe

You guys actually watch that shit...

could be....but i saw Kobe get mugged, and grabbed and no call......40-10 in free throws...something is amiss

The refs haven't been consistent in making the calls, now we know what it felt like when the Jazz were playing the Lakers... it kinda sucked that these 'no calls' were actually hurting the Lakers, and not just that but also degrading the moral of the players.

Again in my own opinion, the refs just killed the game. Unfortunately the Lakers were the one who got hurt the most from this, and we have to give Boston credits for being able to take advantage out of this one. This is what it takes to become a champion, the Lakers will have to go back from a 2-0 deficit, and then everyone will say that the Lakers DESERVE the championship! I'd rather have the Lakers win like CHAMPIONS than taking a 'gift' from the refs...

The foul differential actually wasn't far apart. So far the Lakers have been a jump shooting team in this series, so when they're getting fouled, it isn't in the act of shooting. This isn't about the refs, this is about the Lakers playing soft.
