The only people who have a problem with the calls are people who want LA to win. There are missed calls sure, but LA is fouling because Boston is being aggressive. Same thing that happened with Boston earlier in the playoffs. If you shoot jumpers you usually dont get fouled and Boston is playing its usual good defense.

Newsflash: It makes no sense to shoot jumpshots when you can get to the line by creating the contact yourself because you know the refs are going to call it.

And how many jumpshots did Pau Gasol shoot in the first half?

If the Lakers get the home cooking that the Celtics are getting tonight, at least you can count on getting 3 straight in LA.

i don't know what ya'll think but the refs are letting the Celts get away with MURDER on the defensive end, i mean. Farmar took an ill-advised shot with his back to the basket because it was way too obvious Cassel had grabbed him by the arm. Odom has been getting hammered when ever he drives or gets an offensive rebound. Garnett took a swing on Gasol's arm on that alley-oop, and to top it all up he got absolutely hammered at the end of the 2nd quarter. Common denominator?? NO FOUL CALL ON EITHER ONE OF EM. I mean WTF

Please refs!! a 19 to 2 FTA discrepancy?? WTF?!? :lol:

Gasol is being aggresive, why isn't he getting calls? hmm?

How can you call a foul when a guy puts his hands up and powe runs initiates it. How can you not call obvious fouls on the other end? How can you call touch fouls on superstar? How?? WHy? Can the lakers play basketball too? How can we play with worrying about everyone fouling out??

I wonder what would hurt LA fans more, losing in the first round or being swept in the Finals. I think I know.

He should have shot free throws one time at least, but just because they missed a couple of calls doesn't mean that every call is BS when it doesn't go LA's way.
