I like peirtus but that was a definate fustration move on his part.I have no problem with how it went down. Gasol was going for that easy dunk when he could have run the clock out, Pietrus did the right thing by fouling him. That's pretty much what you are taught, you don't let a team showboat on you. Gasol had his right to be mad, and the refs handled it how they should have. I don't take Gasol as a fighter though, with all the whining he does during games. Most bball players aren't fighters though really.lol u dont know wat ur talking about there was more then enough time for them to foul and send him to the line but they played that horribly. They would have fouled Pau either way so why would u risk missing free throws when u can get an easy dunk??tell me that.Be real, the game was over, Orlando had lost their chances in the game. They definitely played it horribly and it was a frustration foul, but that is playoff basketball. As a coach, you want to see that your players care and you don't want them to let the opponents rub it in at the end. Wit that lead and time situation, you can dribble out and waste more time, or you dunk and expect to get fouled hard.

This..and it was probably the best officiated game of the series. I thought it was pretty even for the most part, and Orlando made too many mistakes to let that be an excuse. Kobe's elbow to Nelson will probably talked about and it was a foul, but Orlando made the mistake of letting it get to that point. Odom also hooked Howard and pushed off to get a rebound on Lewis' miss late in the 4th with a 5-point lead, but they tend to put whistles away, and Howard probably would have missed the FT's anyway. Talking about Howard's FT.. how ridiculous was that foul called on Fisher for pushing him (while Howard was kicking Gasol)?Damn what a lame officiating. Both ways.That foul was soft, but he pushed Gasol after Fisher pushed him so that's why it was on Fish. That call helped the Lakers though, Howard got the board and had an easy dunk lined up.Still a bad call, man. I wasn't saying it helped the Lakers or shit like that. They called a foul on Odom (the 5th one i think) and a pair of fouls on Bynum (4th and 5th) who were disgusting too.Really, the NBA needs to do something against those lame officiatings.I agree, that was a bad call. Odom and Bynum committed a lot of dumb fouls, most of them were fouls though. Odom complained when he bit on that pump fake and they called it, but Kobe has gotten those calls all series. NBA officiating is easily the worst out of all the sports, the stench of the Donaghy era still presides over it, and it makes it my least favorite sport to watch at times, even though I love to play and watch bball.

officiating is horrendous.....
Ya ppl will always bitch n complain about fouls n refs but when it comes down to it, its all about making shots.
I haven't watched too much international ball, but I think you've said this before a few times.
The touch fouls and inconsistency are really bad and I don't know how much better it is in European leagues, but the footwork stuff is really bad. Travels, carries, and guys touching the ball when they are out of bounds. I have seen at least 5 plays in this series where a guy's foot is out of bounds while saving it and it hasn't been ruled out.
On a side note, isn't inserting a PG who was injured for months just into the Finals and giving him big minutes while taking the confidence of the PG who played without a question mark since the All-Star break the dumbest idea ever by a NBA Finals coach?

Also, why the hell did Gortat only play 4 minutes?? I don't understand Stan Van Gundy's logic.true,at least it was consistently shitty lol.i was wondering about gortats absence as well,especially with L.A.'s frontline foul problems. also i would have stayed with alston if i was van gundy.
