This crowd really has been overreacting these last two games

Every crowd reacts like that. That's part of home court advantage. It should be anyway, but if you you were getting an actual home court advantage you wouldn't see calls like that last one for Pau.

I know every crowd does, but on every call? I disagree. I think it's desperation for anything to go their way and knowing they can't have too much slip up against the Lakers.

Each of Laker's big three had a good half

My eyes have been opened to Gasol. He's been a total stud. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Gasol handles things deeper in the playoffs as the opponents get much harder.

That's a good point by Magic about Denver's defensive balance with their driving guards...

It's always been there, but I didn't realize it.

Add another flaw to Denver, and one that also relates to a lack of respectable 3PT shooting.

Webber just loves to talk about getting big men the ball enough. I think he had the same beef in Detroit as a player. They should get him and Walton together to do a game.

Ever watch a game played in Utah? Even in the regular season, every call gets a reaction. I honestly believe it helps them get better calls because of the psychological impact on the refs.

Yup that was an excellent point by Magic. When Kobe drives, either Fish, Lamar or Vlad are back. When Lamar drives, Kobe, Fish, are Vlad is back and so on. When JR Smith drives, AI and Keliza(for example) aren't back because they are trying to spot up and get the pass.

Part of it is low basketball IQ and part(most) of it is just pure selfishness.

Yeah it's a regularity there, but I don't know if it's from call to call like these games
