Haven't said this since Game 4 of the 2006-2007 1st round series vs Phoenix...

the league is not tryna hold the lakers back, if anything, it would be tryna make as much money as possible...Lakers will still advance, regardless, but think about two game 7s on sunday. how much cheese do you think that brings the league? or even betting for that matter...it doesnt even have to be the league. the fact of the matter is, the reffing was horrible to the point of retardedness and nothing can change that.

wouldnt 4 game 7's be even better? How come Denver and the Cavs are done with their series? You think the league wouldnt love to have had Lebron on TV today?  The reason that didnt happen is, because the Cavs beat their team in 4....the Lakers couldnt.  Plain and simple.

building LeBron up and playing Kobe down makes it seem as if theyre on the same level and makes for a stronger interest in rivalry...what didnt u get about my previous points?

lebron is building HIMSELF up

Honestly I don't think that was rigged, Houston played much harder in Game 6 and deserved to win. In basketball, refs always miss at least a couple calls, there's so much going on at such a quick pace, but the more agressive team usually gets rewarded (and should). They missed a few today and made some that I agreed with that my friend was complaining about.

If there was a grand scheme to fix games though, then it would make sense to work in favor of the Rockets for that game only, because a Game 7 Sunday featuring last year's 2 finalists would be exciting, especially since there was a 2 day delay compared to the usual 1 day off. But they could have kicked off the Conference Finals today if the Lakers and Celtics had won in their Game 6's. The other argument was about why would they risk the most popular team losing, but if the league felt they could rig it to force a Game 7, they would rig Game 7 if they needed to. Using that as an excuse is pretty low unless there's an obvious screw-up, and you haven't presented any real evidence, other than the marketing possibilty.

the evidence is how retardedly bias the officiating was. i mean, there was one sequence where Houston blatantly kicked the ball and it wasnt called. now, this wouldnt have been fishy had the Lakers not been called for kickballs in the same exact scenario on not one, but TWO previous possessions.

What a win tonight for the Lakers. Chauncey was out of bounds on that last 3 too. Kobe was so huge down the stretch. Kobe is unreal

the officiating was again horrible in Game 1 vs Denver...almost as if Lakers overcame another fixed game. LOL.


foreal, though, i cant be the only one on this site noticing the horrible discrepancy in officiating that goes against the Lakers...i dunno if it's our attitude as a team that makes the refs hate us or if there's money involved, but there's definitely something there. hell, some dude stopped me at Home Depot today cuz he saw my Laker shirt and started talkin about how horrible the refs were last night...he didnt even talk about the win, just how he cant watch basketball anymore cuz the officiating is so one-sided most the time.

THE REFS WERE SMOKING SHWAG, THEY NEED TO BE BLOWIN OG LIKE KOBE DOES AFTER GAMES!

No i agree. My boy is a huge Lakers fan and he was over watching the game and we kept talking about the horrible officiating..I remember 3 times specifically in the first half where chauncey went to the line on 3 AWFUL Calls. One shot Kobe blocked SOOOOOOO clean i was in complete shock when the foul was called...
