Gasol comes out smoking. 15-12 good guys.

I didn’t follow my own rule for NBA games. Always have beer handy.

Jordan for threeeeeeeeeeee.

Kobe gets called for brushing Allen’s arm away, but Alien can rack Ariza’s arms and nothing.

This is a disgusting display of officiating.

Looks like refs are intent on making this series 2-0.

Didn’t Kobe just get fouled there? Are you kidding me?

Let’s GO.

on that lob

Mug Gasol and no foul. They aren’t even trying to disguise their bullshit calls anymore.

It’s Dodger game time. At least when they’re down it’s not because they’re getting fucked by the officials.

Donaghee(?) is locked up, right?

Lakers shoot one free throw in the first half as the result of a personal foul. (The other FT was b/c of the tech foul on Garnett.)

Celtics are outplaying LA, but still, this is ridiculous…..

Total east coast homers clowns.

when things are little gloomy. I am gonna step out of this game thread for the night … and take it offline. See if the isolation play works. :)

Have fun guys. Here is to a better second half.

And we’ve been going inside plenty so you can’t use the “aggressiveness” excuse to explain it away.

As I said, it’s time for the Dodger game.

Doesn’t change our fortunes

I just came home from a local bar. There were so many fair weather celt fans that came out of the woodwork I couldn’t take any more. I really hope we get all the home calls like they are getting – ridiculous.

I turned it off!

Let Kobe, the best finisher in the game, have the ball in his hands every possession in the last minute

I guess to my good fortune, i didnt see most of the first half because I was at the dodger game. From what i’ve heard the refereeing was absolutely atrocious so im glad I didn’t witness all of ti or there may be some broken glass in the bar at dodger stadium.

All in all disappointing though, dodger loss aside, I was considering tonight a must win for the lake show...im not sure if we can win three straight at home in the finals...but I know we'll need fair officiating if we hope to do it...i guess all we can do now is hope for the best.
