Lakers Complain About Refs After Game Two

[MapleLeaf]

From realgm.com

The Lakers aren't sure why referees seem to be calling so many fouls on them through the first two games of the NBA Finals, according to The Press Enterprise.

When asked about the huge difference in free throws attempted in Game Two on Sunday night Kobe Bryant said, "Didn't notice."

Other members of the Lakers weren't so politically correct.

"Ridiculous," Coach Phil Jackson called it.

"Unbelievable," Sasha Vujacic added.

"I'm not trying to complain, but 38-10 you can't beat nobody," Vladimir Radmanovic said. "You have to make a lot of shots to neutralize that."

They weren't really calling anything on Boston at all

Boston is a bunch of old ass floppers I swear. IDK what was going on but hopefully LA can take 2 at home

yeah the refs sucked, but you cant take anything away from the C's
they outplayed LA

but seriously, 38-10 is pretty bad. especially considering the fact that the Lakers took more shots in the paint than Boston. agressors get calls my @ss.

I was gonna say it wasn't the refs' fault Powe lit them up - that would be defense by Odom and Gasol.

always seems the losers complain about officiating -- but, it's nice seeing that the Lakers fans acknowledging they were outplayed instead of complaining

 

[playmaker7]

But seriously, you can't say that you didn't notice some of the bullshat during that game. I think the Lakers could have done alot better but there were still some bad calls.

That one ref that called both the technicals on kobe and kg is an ass, crawford i think (not joe). He just pretty much called the worst fouls on the lakers and practically nothing on the Celtics. I'm not trying to be a sore loser and complain just because the lakers lost. It's just, "Ridiculous". The refs are pretty much ruining the nba finals this year (at least so far).

But yeah, whoever just mentioned how powe lit us up (not including some of the free throws), you're completely right. We pretty much watched him while he ran through us and dunked. Haha, horrible defense.

 

[Mexi]

as much as i want to blame the awful officiating, i just cant. well not completely.
Boston was more agressive.

 

[yezzir]

yeah of course. the officiating was only half the problem. our offense was still horrible and during parts of the game our defense was non-existent. but still, i'm positive it would have been a closer game throughout if the officiating was better and with a run like that at the end, we could have possibly won it.

whatever though, hopefully the officiating will be better the rest of the series.

 

[jarrod2323]

that's the good thing about home court, too..
I really wouldn't be surprised to see a swing in calls once it's back to LA.. just happens that way with the home crowd and all -- part of the game

 

[MapleLeaf]

jarrod were you ever biased in the games you reffed because you might have known one of the kids? lol

 

[The Young One]

Yes the officiating was horrendous. But they didnt play great alst ngiht imo. But i have a feelin LA will get the advantage the next couple of games.

 

[$tunna]

did anyone see the foul they called on Gasol when Perkins pretty much knocked him out of the air on a block attempt? I think he intentionally knocked him down and Gasol hit the ground pretty hard

 

[Agent Zero]

part of it was the lakers couldnt make anything

 

[DJT]

lol, when a team loses, they always try to put the blame somewhere....its horrible. Just accept you lost, if you put the game in the refs hands, you deserve to lose.
