So now Laker fans are responsible for your hater-assumptions?
So if you assume by this response right here that I absolutely hate every NBA team except the Lakers, I'm responsible for your assumption?
Never.
Your assumptions are on you to stop, not on me to stop.
If I say 'That was a terrible call', it's not on me to make sure you don't think I mean 'That call cost us the game.'
I barely even know what you're talking about.
But if I know what you're talking about, I'm not assuming ALL Laker fans are saying officiating was the sole reason for their loss. I'm saying thatall I saw in this thread was constant bickering/complaining about the officiating. I clarified that by saying that. IF there's constantbickering/complaining and very few real posts about the Lakers' actual play itself-am I supposed to assume you guys aren't realizing the Lakersaren't playing well? I watched the full game, and the officiating was bad. BUT....that wasn't the reason the Lakers lost. Plain and simple. They werejust out of it, how do you let a not-very-quick power forward just drive 3/4th of the court without guarding him and letting him throw one down?
And I'm far from a "hater". If you think I am, then that's not up to me, I could care less, but I'm by no means intending to do that atall.

The Celtics need to know not to stop playing defense when they have a big lead. They could've kept the Lakers away from the game, but they decided not toplay hard anymore because they had such a huge lead.
Kobe played well in the 4th, but a lot of his shot were contested, and you can tell he didn't want to take most of those shots. Lamar Odom need to keephimself away from foul trouble, and Phil needs to play Vujacic a lot more. Because of him the Lakers got to striking distance.
The pick and roll didn't see to be as effective as it was in Game 1. They need to figure out how to perfect it before Game 3.
The series goes to L.A for three straight games. I say the Lakers will win two out of three games back home, they might be able to even win all 3. They playextremely well at home, and I don't see this trend chancing.
I said Lakers in 6 before the series started, and I'm sticking to it.

I know Powe's your boy and all...but enough with the euphemisms...on the open court..he's slow.
the lakers were just mentally inhibited.

i cheer for the celtics but i know they got alot of calls in that 2nd Q that swung momentum in their favor.....but here's the thing, lakers kept whiningabout it and that causes lack of focus.... same crap was happening to us in Detroit.... Doc told them there's nothing you can do about it so just play yourgame. and we won game 6. you just gotta play your game, be aggressive. stop whining. eventually it'll balance.

The points in the paint thing is a little misleading. Lakers had a bunch of open dunks and alleyoops. I do remember Gasol getting fouled on one (the superslo-mo cam) and Kobe getting hit on a lefty layup in the fourth.
Powe got fouled for every single one of his free throws. Those really inflated our free throw number. They were leaving him open down there and had to foul toprevent the dunks.

That doesn't even put a dent into those 40 points, guy.
And WOW @ the 40-34 pts in the paint. Absolutely amazing.

I disagree about the Turiaf block (that should have been a no-call to me), but Powe plays very physical down low, well, he did especially at Cal.He's the kind of player, if given touches, that will get a lot of foul calls just from his style of play.

LA had 10 fast break points, Boston had 14. Boston got way too many calls but the same thing will probably happen for the Lakers in LA.
