Re: Refs won the game for the Lakers!

I'm surprised that none of the media is talking about the refs.

Re: Refs won the game for the Lakers!


From their perspective's a lot of those refs saw what they thought was right.

me being a laker "*****" hence the avatar, can see that the refs made a few mistakes, but they also let KG stay in the game as long as they could. He was in for around 5-6 minutes with 5 fouls and he never let his intensity down which is a bad sign because that alone can cause more fouls.


I think the refs should be calling the game more consistently.

Why call a 3 seconds on Shaq in the 4th/OT when he is in there, and mark jackson for Minn. is in the paint for 3 qrt.s getting away with "murder".

Why call a foul on Kobe's pump fake attempts in the first 3 qrt.s, which catches a guy in the air and he jumps into the opponent, and NOT call it in OT. "kobe should be getting to the line in those scenario's.

The 4th qrt. should be called no differently than the whole entire game. If that's the case why even play the first 3 qrt.s with all your heart when the way that was effective doesn't work anymore a quarter later.


We need the same calls that were called in the 1st half to be called the same way in the 4th qrt.

If the refs can't remember the the types of calls they let go and the calls they called, they're too old and we need some new refs to step in , who can rememeber whats actually going on.

I agree with you completely the game should be called the same all game for every player not just superstars.

Re: Refs won the game for the Lakers!

The Lakers are done. They may still win this series, but they are done. The refs pull a "1972 Munich Olympics" and do everything they can to hand you the game, Shaq&Kobe tally 1 foul each, Garnett fouls out, and you STILL can't win on your home court? The only bad part is that not many people were up at 2am to witness this joke of officiating. But after the post-game outrage, I don't look for the Lakers to get that many calls for game 4 on network TV in Sunday prime time, because everyone will be watching.

Re: Refs won the game for the Lakers!

Like most have already mentioned, it was definitely some shady stuff going on in this game which seemed like it was 5 against 8 at times in favor of the Lakers. Major props to the T'Wolves for playing extremely hard and not letting all that stuff distract them from taking care of business on the road.

i saw the whole game but had to get up at 6, so the pressconf. after the game was out of the question to watch.

Can you explain/tell me all that went on?

What did KG or flip have to say?

Re: Refs won the game for the Lakers!

KG and Flip were playing it cool at the press conference, saying how they weren't surprised about the victory because they played hard and fought as a team. Laker players mention how they had numerous "chances" to win the game, but could not get it done. The usual press conference statements.
