Complaining about refs...cool stuff

eliminated in the first round......cool stuff

2 of the non calls or calls were game changing.

And you can call me bias if you want, but the announcers, Van Gundy, Brown and Breen aren't. When they replay incidents in slow mo and say it isn't a foul or is a foul, 98% of the time they're right.

And there were 3 wtf moments, 2 of which were crucial moments.

Whatever though, Lakers are probably going to even the series in Denver. Gasol really needs to step up though, if last year Gasol was playing Denver would not be in this series right now. Now he's missing free throws, not shooting his regular shots.....seriously wake the fuck up.

Gasol is a sissy. He might put up his tough guy face when facing other soft big men but that's not the case with Denver and it wasn't the case last year vs Boston. But Gasol did have a decent night. 17 pts with 17 rebs is nothing to sneeze at. Sure he could be more aggressive on the offensive end but then again he's a sissy.

I think the guy that needs to get his thumb out of his ass on the Lakers is Lamar Odom. He's scored 7 and 10 in the first two games and he's playing some really lazy defense. Then again, Denver also has a guy on their team (JR Smith) that is underperforming but that is because he's hurt.

I didn't see anything last night that would lead me to think that the Lakers will tie it up in Denver. Nuggets played the Lakers close in two LA games. Denver is probably the biggest home court advantage in the NBA. The Lakers are going to have a tough time winning game three as they adjust to the altitude. Their best chance is game four but I don't see that happening either.

As for tonight's game, I am really interested to see how the Cavs handle their first loss. If they lose tonight then I wonder how many of the TV experts are going to jump off the bandwagon? So many of them predicted sweep or win in 5. They thought Z could handle Howard the same way Perkins did. Um, just no.

Cleveland by 15+ tonight.

Cleveland by 15+ tonight.

They way the refs are officiating it so far I agree. How dare the Magic ruin David Stern's and Nike's plan on a Kobe vs. LeBron finals.

Should be a bannable offense for bitching about the refs when a team is down 23. Like it really matters.

Whatever. I was 20 mins behind live TV on my DVR. I just got done watching three refs "not see" Mo Williams throw the ball at Howard. One wasn't looking but there was another who was looking at the two all the way and never did anything.

Herd ...
Love the show! I'm a huge fan of the (insert favorite team). In last night's game against the (insert opponent), I couldn't believe the bad calls from the refs! Especially that guy (insert ref of choice).... he's had something against us all year long! (Insert best player's name) was being picked on and it cost us the game! The (insert favorite team) just can't get a break and probably won't win because of it! Call out (insert ref) or I'm never listening again! Thanks bro!
