Grizzlies(24-16) vs. Lakers(25-16)

Nobody touches Barnes and he falls= Clear path on us

Mayo falls=no call on the Lakers.

Yea, that was a huge bailout, that's a legitimate gripe you have there.

Yea, I really hate blaming the refs for a losses but there definitely were some questionable calls made.

Really we only got 3 FT's... the other 2 were technical fouls.

Marc had zero, despite being pushed on most of his 20 shot attempts.

That's compounded by the fact that they got a lot of calls that should have been non-calls or even offensive fouls, especially Bynum (and the Barnes play, obviously).

You can't expect any team to win with that kind of blatant favoritism by the refs - much less one that is missing it's two go-to-scorers.

Tough to win when you spot the other team 23 points at the free throw line, but we had the opportunity and almost did it

Edit: Another remarkable point from the boxscore - the Grizz set a franchise record with 116 field goal attempts, the Lakers were whistled for fouls on only 2 of the 116 attempts.

Sometimes I'm disappointed after a Grizz loss. At most, upset. Last night I was angry. I didn't sleep well, because I was so wound up. Playoff atmosphere and got to see the Grizz lose a game of 8 on 5. This column pretty much sums it up:

I didn't know I could hate the Lakers even more. I was totally shocked the audience cheered when pau Gasol dunked it in the final minute to give them their first lead of the game in the 4th quarter. How can you cheer for that guy? Is your life that meaningless? Is your brain that empty? You know these same people would have booed Pau when we were playing the Lakers in 2007.

Probably was the case. The Grizz managed to play thru w/o their two main scorers. That says a lot when you're going up against a Kobe lead Lakers team. This game should've been won, but circumstances allowed us to lose our grip and eventually the game in DBL OT. We will meet them one more time in LA. We need to win that game b/c I know we are capable of beating the livin hell out of the Lakers.
