Game 73: Battle of Los Angeles Part IV

Oh and F Fisher. That f-er is the biggest punk ever. How he gets away with fouls while reaching and bumping all game is beyond me.

I hope Kaman busts out his bow and arrow and shoots this f-er between the eyes!!!

I'm still upset about this loss, I just wish it would be fair. Lakers aren't as high and might as you think.

Bad calls:

1. Kobe flailing away on jumpers to get fouled
2. Offensive goaltend on Donatello
3. Illegal screen on DJ. If he's gonna get called for that, he should really ram into F-er.
4. Blake is a star. He should have gotten that call on artest. If that was Kobe or gasol the whistle would be blown before any contact even happens.

shame on EJ!

thats the superstar calls on kobe..the ref are there to bails him out...

[mike3]

frustrating game cause imagine how close we'd come if Ej was on his game.. didnt expect him to struggle like that but positive, we still hung in there and could've had that game.

Gomes doesnt really ever seem to make a real impact for us, id love to see how Aminu would do in a starting role with Moons minutes increase then Gomes being our 3rd option

Here's the funny thing. This is the first time Kobe's gotten calls in a very very long time. So what can I tell you?

[hourockman]

Kaman gets clobbered in the head, and he gets tossed. They don't call the over the backs.

You must've been crying for integrity when Kobe was hit square on the dome by one of your guards w/o a call.

Lol. A Clipper fan...a CLIPPER fan saying this about the Lakers, who are presently the 2-time defending champions (not to mention the rest of the franchise's history. The Lakers have MISSED the playoffs fewer times than the Clippers have made it.)

You got to be kidding me.

It's different if you swiping at the ball and hit someone in the head as opposed to running into a pick and hitting someone in the head.

I say that the Lakers aren't all high and mighty because they are just an NBA team. I was very frustrated about last night's game and thought it should have been called fair. Even if the Lakers are the 2 time defending champs they shouldn't need help from the refs to win a game.

He was hit across the head. Could it have been called? Sure, it should have. That does not change the fact that the referees were heavily slanted in favor of the Lakers nor the fact that our players were fouled numerous times with no whistle. If we had a great disparity of foul shots in our favor, were able to get away with over the backs, commit offensive interference, elbow players upside the head, etc... Then I personally wouldn't care much if one of our players was grazed across the head once with one no call. It's worse to get busted in the head and then thrown out of the game, because of what some little punk did. That's like Mike Bibby's face fouling Kobe's elbow. It's BS.

You don't have to agree with anybody here, but don't come here with some little wiseass comments because an opposing team disagrees with your assessment. I hate unfair calls in any type of event/competition. If it's fair, then whatever happens, happens. If it's unfair, then I am going to acknowledge it as unfair. Regardless of if the refs want to call it loose or tight is OK as long as it is balanced and called the same for both teams. I want my teams to win fair and square with no questionable calls or screw jobs. If that is not the way that you operate, then we're just different types of people.
