minus Kobe I think they are officiated fairly, I agree though that Kobe doesnt get the respect from the officials he deserves, they give it all to Bron and Wade :-X

i think you forgot about the minor details in games 1 and 2 where kobe shot over 20 FREE THROWS? if anybody is a master at drawing fouls its kobe
head fakes gets the player in the air whistle, press up on kobe defensively, you face up got your hand on him he twirls his hands and throws up a wild shot whistle, kobe drives into the lane a defender side by side with him he bumps him uses his hang time for a 3 point opportunity WHISTLE .. don't tell me you guys dont see this?
the league did hate the lakers especially kobe after that colorado scandal they were showing him 0 love.. but nowadays kobe's on a fast break Ak47 is running side by side, pokes the ball cleanly as shown on the replay (this happened about 3 times) and kobe screams = WHISTLE
gasol never used to be like this back in memphis, Kobe rubbed off on him now everytime hes in the paint with the rock you hear him scream OUCH OUCH OUCH even when theres nobody around him within 3-4 feet distance lol
then when a defensive player makes a solid defensive stand against him and he misses hes crying for a foul.
what im seeing is alot of BITCH-ASS-NESS out on the hoop court, the league needs to implement instant replay on controversial foul calls asap either that or go back to the 80s 90s defensive oriented style game play where it was way more physical than this pussy ass game .. no more oakleys, masons, zo mournings, charles barkleys, moses malones, bill laimbeers, to lay the wood on you anymore when you drive into the paint.. or when your playing in the post (stupid t.v. ratings)

^Kobe gets fouled on practically ever play. If the Jordan Rules applied to him, he'd be going to the line more than he already did...the refs are getting better with him, though. I can admit that. But for real, nobody's "rubbing off" on Gasol, it's just that now he's a much bigger target in that Laker jersey. Boozer and Okur have shitty defense, so they resort to hacking, which goes unwhistled a lot of times.. There was even a little sequence where Gasol was fouled 3 times on the same play, but he kept getting the offensive rebound and finally put it in on the 3rd a attempt..no complaints, just made a funny face like "wtf?"...i think if I was in the league with these terrible officials, I'd be on some Bobby Knight shit, throwing chairs and what not...You dunno how hard it is to play like that.

Damn...This series really proved all my points.
Boozer:
16 PPG (43/109 FG)
Total Blocks: 0
Gasol:
18.5 PPG (47/84 FG)
Total Blocks: 18
Anyone who voted Boozer change their mind?

yeah pau is way too thin to be a PF or a dominant center. i love his game but i think farmar could take him out on the bench

I dunno...Pau has done exceptionally well at both the PF and C throughout his career. He's not an athletic monster, but he does have the length, size, skill, plus the excellent basketball IQ, to be a great big for years to come. Remember, the greatest center ever, Kareem, was also one of the thinnest centers ever.

bacctrac alert. first the jew said gasol has done exceptionnally well at center throughout his career and actually mentioned him in the same breath as a center as KAREEM ahahaha.
but now all of a sudden the lakers lost cuz gasol was playing out of position at center, now the jew says "he is a power forward, he never plays center!!!"

^ he obviously did do exceptionally well playing as a center...the Lakers won the west with him there. That doesn't mean he's a natural center, idiot. You're trying really hard and you need to stop.
