It's only one game, though... And they were hitting their shots.

What happens if their shots don't fall? Who's gonna step up?

Enjoy Laker fans

That game was probably one of the worst officiated game this season. 50 free throws vs 16 free throws...

[tigermack]

I didn't watch the whole game but I thought they kept fouling D12... until after the game, I was disgusted at how those are called as fouls...

[pqv22]

Damn u got a lot of time on your hands...

[sensi09]

Get this fixed game crap out of here. Didn't bother watching the whole video, but in some of those fouls the defender clipped the elbow of the shooter a few times....like in k.thompson's 4th foul. If you're going to complain about fouls, might as well show all the angles.

And btw dwight picked up his 4th and 5th fouls within like 30sec of each other in the 4th quarter and then had to sit. But lets not mention that since the game was rigged

I like the Lakers but holy shit, Laker fans are in denial all the fucking time.

Do you really believe the game was rigged?

Teams get favorable calls along with bad/cheap fouls against them everyday. It goes both ways for both teams.

Just to play along, say the game was rigged. Dwight gets 22 foul shots, and was actually hitting them at a good clip early in that game. For the times that dwight went to the line, on most of those possessions, I guarantee you that golden state would rather have him at the line then actually getting a shot up with no foul.

Other than Kobe, the bulk of those fouls came in the post with dwight and gasol. They were shooting at a high clip so in many instances, golden state is forced to foul.

And in the end, they have to make shots. The lakers shot 52% overall and 48% from behind the arc in that game....can't rig that. Not in denial and not a blind laker fan, just calling it as I see it.

Really. So you don't think that the coaches talk to the refs and let them know they are going to play "hug-a-Howard" so they would be watching for it? That same stuff happened back in the day with "hack-o-Shaq" If the team knew that was their game plan the reps knew it and blew the whistle a whole lot faster so that Shaq didn't get murdered.

And you can put up all the stats you want but that happens and I know it.

[tigermack]

If the game isn't rigged the CP3 trade would have happened. Lakers got their calls from pussy ass taps against GS because NBA wants the Lakers in the playoffs, it's all about money and it'd be a joke for this Laker team to miss playoffs. They don't give a shit about the Jazz. That video clearly showed all those calls were B.S., you can call those fans whiners but they had the right to whine.

That GS game didn't even have hack-a-Dwight going... it was calls to every player on their team.

[sensi09]

The players guarding dwight got into foul trouble. Not that far-fetched....

And it would be cool if the lakers had chris paul, but in the end new orleans got a better deal. If the nba is pulling strings for the lakers though, well that chris paul example shoots down that idea

LOL...no shit sherlock. Can't be a true fan without believing in the impossible. It like rooting for your own kids. You root and cheer your ass off even when you know your kids are retarded. Why? Because you love them.

So why then? Because we love LA and we love the Lakers. ...to include the red headed step children on the Clippers.

[tigermack]

Dumb ass detected.

[RYANBOZ7]

Lmao,all the Laker haters out there.They have freaking 16 titles and some of these haters love the damn Nuggets or Clippers who haven't done shit....LA can't win the damn thing every year......

[F36_CB1K]

^^Very well said.

The number of freak injuries has really taken the toll this year. I just wish the famous "meeting at Memphis" would have happened at least a week or 2 earlier than when it did. Los Angeles teams seeded 4th and 5th battling best of 7 series..

Respectfully,
The King of wishful thinking


Edit: aaaaaand the lakers are in!

[RallyRcrr]

we made the playoffs...barely. go lakers!!

[amanda hor$t]

^ yeah pretty cool, pretty sure they'll get beaten first round but at least the playoff streak is going. last time lakers missed the playoffs i was in h.s. and the best guy on the roster was ceballos

Yeah, they backed into the playoffs thanks to a Utah loss.

Fortunate, 'cause they're getting losing to Houston, 66-59.

EDIT: Something's gotta be wrong when Steve Blake is the Lakers leading scorer...
