I didn't want to bitch about it, cause having a former international referee as a father i'm not into this "we got robbed by the referees" shit. But i've noticed a lot of strange situations lately. Expecially against Mihm. I've seen Shaq elbowing him in the last Miami-Lakers game, but the referee always called it a foul against Mihm. At least 3 times he inverted the call. Plus Wade elbowed Kobe but he didn't got punished with a flagrant (it was a 2 games suspesion easily). And i can go on and on.. what about the last shot by Mihm in the last game? Wasn't it a cristalline foul? And wasn't Miller's foul a flagrant? Shit they're getting no love. Why?

LOL...It's not even a mystery. The refs (and even the league) simply doesn't respect the Lakers...I'm not complaining though, it's just been obvious. Mihm is THE ABSOLUTE WORST reffed player in the league...Mihm is known around the NBA as foul-prone, so any shot Mihm even dares to contest is automatically called against him...It's sorta' a psychological thing the refs have going, but the way Mihm always seems to pick up 2 quick fouls in the first quarter (resulting in a 2nd quarter benching) REALLY hurts the Lakers...Honestly, Phil has been saying the same thing all year, but it hasn't gotten ANY better...Anyways, games on, gotta get going...PeACe

Shit it's a shame cause if we only could have Mihm on the court for 35 minutes contesting shots the way he can...

It actually happened again today...Late in the 4th quarter it was a tie game, Kirelenko was under the basket with Mihm defending him. Mihm didn't even contest the shot and he gets called for the foul...Earlier, Lakers were down by 3. Odom drove it to the hoop, got fouled on the shot, and flipped the ball up for an amazing reverse lay-up. The ref calls NO continuation...a great chance to tie the game and sway the momentum towards the Lakers direction ruined once again by the refs...There's no way I'm blaming this game on the refs though, the Lakers missed too many vital free-throws down the stretch for me to blame this game on the refs, but let me tell you, the respect the Lakers lack around the league is unexplainable...Kobe is gunna shit on the league in his return.

not hated man, theyre not aggressive enough to get calls. The Lakers will NEVER be a "hated" team by the refs. also remember, theyre young....and other then Kobe none of the players have ANY type of reputation around the league. Kobe gets a ton of bullshit calls called his way, because he has a rep and is a vet. just like most superstars in the league.
