that replay showed CLEAR rondo didnt TOUCH THE BALL he hit all hand
I don't give a crap about that, because NOT ALL OF THE FOULS BEING CALLED ARE LEGIT.

There have been PLENTY of replays where a Laker was called for a foul and both Mark Jackson and Van Gundy BOTH say something like 'Enh, I don't know...that didn't look like a foul to me.'

 

[chest rockwel]

Refs are about to ruin the sport for me.

 

[nyfly1]

AINT NO ONE WANNA SEE THAT #*++

 

[slow motion g35]

like that wasn't a foul, Gasol just got hammered

Must be alot if you think that is even close to english. The Lakers are getting no calls. The first two on Kobe should not have been called, this isthe finals. 15 Years ago half these fouls wouldn't even be called. It makes the flow of the game slow and it's just annoying how Powe gets like 8 freethrows in 3 mins and the Lakers as a whole I don't even think have that much.

 

[sohi 23]

What the *+%+ is Kobe/Lakers supposed to do then?

When they drive, they don't get calls. Period.
I DARE someone to tell me the lack of calls the Lakers are getting compared to the Refs is not affecting this game.
YOU KNOW, it's in the back of their minds on every single play.

They HAVE to take jumpers, and if they can't make them.
This game is going to be a blowout.

 

[MambaMentality824]

Don't even know what to say right now. Things are not looking good. Boston is hitting some very tough shots and is being very aggressive going to the hoopwhile we are playing like a bunch of soft pansies. Kobe needs to play like the %%*###! MVP because he looks nothing like it right now. Add in the fact thefriendly referee assistance Boston is getting and we have know why we are getting our +%#%% busted. Beginning of the 3rd will be key. If Boston goes on anothermini run I don't see how we will be able to get back into it.

That doesn't make much sense considering all these fouls disrupt the flow of the game...and Kobe has been sitting on the bench more than he's beenplaying, yet still shooting 40%.

 

[zona0924]

the refereeing in this game is disgusting smh

you already know.

the celtics are doing a great job on defense though, yeah, they got away with a few fouls probably but they're doing a nice job on Kobe overall. But, 2 ofthe 3 Kobe fouls were basura, and even though Powe is that dude, that Turiaf block was clean and he shouldn't have gotten free throws there.
the Rondo block on Vlad looked legit to me, maybe I missed a replay.

when your playin out there and you're getting absolutely ZERO calls, it'll keep you from doing things.. yes kobe has to play better, but the lackof officiating has gotten to the players mind

Oh my gosh, this is beyond frustrating.

Enjoy this, Celtics fan.

Enjoy your fraudulent victory.

I've lost a lot of respect for my SoCal native, Paul Pierce.

People are saying 'The Lakers have to play tough D,' but... WE'RE NOT BEING ALLOWED TO!!! The Celtics are being allowed to HAMMER us and we have to make good plays to even get a shot off in the paint, but they can be guaranteed a free throw if we even touch them.
