kobes will to stay on the court and play through fouls was illogical, and ended up costing him the game, if he would have relied more on his team to produce while he sat on the bench perhaps the celtics wouldnt have had such an easy game plan in the 4th. This was the epitome of seeing Kobe lose, because the game was never in his grasp, and you could tell. Pau had a shot at it, he played amazing.

I would bet my life savings that not one person complaining about calls here would be able to ref games of this magnitude better than the professionals who did it.


If you think you can do a better job, by all means dedicate your life to becoming a ref, but until then accept the fact that the refs do the best they can, and stop bitching please.

It espeicially blows my mind that LA fans can whine about calls when they shot something like three times the amount of FT's? Doubt that will happen in the Garden...





Taking criticism from spectators is part of the job, and always has been. The whole "don't complain since you can't do any better" argument is nonsense.

Its not nonsense, because this thread has become nothing but the losing teams fans bitching about the refs after every game.

It is incredibly hard to ref a basketball game. There's so much stuff to look for.

But that doesn't put the refs above reproach. They're paid professionals who should also be held to account if the mess up.

Both teams copped some horrible calls though.

That "foul" on Kobe where he banked the shot was probably the most laughable.

It's getting really ridiculous how pedantic the refs are being though. It's ruined two games and hopefully someone gets the message across that they need to let the guys play.

It was bad refereeing on both teams, but the Lakers lost his by not getting loose balls for the better part of the 4th quarter. Rondo got free too much.

I am not worried as a Lakers fan though, it required a monstrous effort from Ray Allen to pull this off and unless the other 2 magically turn it on, then I don't see the Lakers losing this series...unless the refs start up on the phantom fouls on Kobe again...that 5th foul really hurt.

Yeah, it's pretty sad. He was so intense back in 2008, and he still is, but he can't seem to back it up..

notice how there's no bigman in there to grab important rebounds, get a key low post stop, block a layup >< if the celtics lose it's because of the front court for sure

then again rondo grabs so many loose balls out of nowhere maybe it doesn't matter =p

Is that what you see? About 90% of the referee complaints I've read here make it clear that the officiating was bad both ways. If these people are all bitter L.A. fans, they aren't being too overt about it.

I think we need to up the total # of allowable fouls from 6 to about 10! j/k of course, but watching games where both Kobe and Garnett sit on the bench sucks. The calls seemed a bit rushed. Obviously the visiting Celtics had more called against them, but when you're hitting perimeter shots like Allens incredible 7 for 7 3pt shots, you're not going to be putting the other team in a position to foul you.

I thought the officiating was a bit too ticky-tack. Seemed like a lot of clean blocked shots got called which is sad. Blocked shots are the best. The thing that sucks the most is that refs seem like they have to "make up" for botched calls. Like after the questionable 4th foul on Kobe, at the other end of the floor they immediately made a laughable call against the Celtics. Anywho.. the Celtics got one on the road and the bookies in Vegas as well as the TV networks couldn't be happier as they're guaranteed at least 5 games and most likely 7. I'd bet my life that the same happens down the road in Boston.

Game highlights. Obviously 7-7 3pts before the half! Wow. Kobe coming in with 52 seconds left in the 2rd quarter (had been sitting for about 5 minutes) and almost scoring 6 points in 2 seconds (which cut the lead to 6). Celtics lead by as much as 15 in that 1st half? maybe 14?

The fouls felt more anticipatory than anything. Like oh there SHOULD be contact here, but there isn't. There were definitely a fair amount of compensatory calls though.

A candid, and pretty reasonable article. Though honestly what surprised me most was the rumblings out of Miami, as that aspect of free agency has been significantly less covered. I totally agree with Riley about the value of Stoudemire :D

Edit:
Jay-Z about recruiting LBJ was gold, though.

...Orlando series and Game 1? KG hasn't been showing up since ECF. But you're slamming Pierce for one game? Did you slam Allen for his performance in Game 1 too? Pierce forgo a lot of his shot attempts for his teammate Allen. Man, you are funny. :r
