I'll give it to the Lakers. They've been really good and enjoy the 2-1 lead. But this is the 2nd game in a row that the refs have detemined the outcome. The so called nasty dunk on Nash that was called a block.. was really a charge. Then this game with the 2 tech's on the Suns, even though they only scored an extra point.. it still took the momentum away.

Good series though, enjoy it.

Actually its the 3rd game if you want to be technical. You seem to ignore the Game 1 no cal where Kobe got hit in the face. Either you can sit here and complain about the refs (when the bad calls have gone both ways) or you can accept that there will be some bad calls both ways.

Was just watching a clip on FSN, and the head of the ref union was on talking about the Lebron move at the end of the game, and said it was a good no call. Said that the rule is if a player drives to the hole, jump stops as Lebron did planting both feet simultaneously he has choice of pivot feet. Lebron went up with the pump fake, and took 2 steps to the hoop for a layup. It looked odd because during the pump fake, Lebron's non pivot foot was moving, thus making it look like more steps than actual. He said it was a good move, and a good no call by the referees. There were a couple more calls discussed, but I thought that was the most important one to take note of.

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

its funny how some peoples opinions are so skewed when they watch and post at the same time.

ive watched the ending and posting very little and have enjoyed it. i havent gotten into the ref "battle" or mess. i dont see what half of you "see"

Thats why I always wait till the next morning, these jokes crying and whining throughout the game (two from L.A. too, sad) give me good laughs while I eat breakfast.

I love seeing them meltdown as the Lake show takes down the Suns.

Re: ***Official Running Commentary of Every Single 1st Rd NBA Playoff Game Thread***

This was stressed a few years ago, but it gets forgotten. Whenever the Lakers win, we have this contingent of anti laker fans who blame the refs. The point is, only losers make those kind of excuses. In the end, the better team will win the four games. Not the refs, not any other excuse or tools of incompetence that are used by those accepting losses. In game one, there were some questionable calls against the Lakers, if the Lakers lose this series I wont say it was because of that game one officiating. I can understand being caught up in the moment, but come the frig on. This is the playoffs, we are watching one of the best first round series ever.

Well stated.

you guys do realize if Stoudemire was healthy, it would probably be a sweep by the suns with a blowout every game? I'm still surprised that the suns were this good w/o Amare until now. What a shame this team is. If they don't beat lakers, that mvp means nothing.

Last night might've been the best night of playoff hoops in a 5-6 years. I'm so hyped now for Tonight's games.

No doubt, great bball being played and tonight I get to see the Pistons live. Add the NFL draft, some MLB action and you have a awesome day of sports.

"How big is the hype surrounding James? The Wizards issued a credential to a reporter from lebronjames.com, giving him a seat between The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer and USA Today."
