I'm not denying it, I think there were some crappy calls, but lets see how game 3 is called before we go crazy...

Lakers earned it. They did not need refs help to make it this far. All im saying is if the refs are going to call it tight they must call it tight both ways. Which wasnt the case the last 2 games.
When the calls don't go Kobe's way, all the sudden it was the refs that won the game for Boston. I'll give you the offensive call was pretty weak, but the holding foul on Allen was pretty obvious to me. I was calling it before they blew the whistle. LA lost because they were shut down. Think about it....
1. Kobe didn't take the ball to the basket until late 3rd.
2. An effect of the above, he shot very few free throws (that's half his game).
3. Odom was shut down--AND HIS FOULS WERE GOOD CALLS. He tackled Rondo and tried to blow through Brown.
4. Gasol started out strong, then they just stopped giving him the ball
5. Fisher was nonexistent
6. 3's didn't start dropping for them until the 4th
7. Boston was on....Powe slaughtered them....Allen was hitting....Pierce was on....Rondo had nearly 20 assists- to ONE to......KG was the only one dragging behind.
Need I go on? As said, you're jumping the gun on the refs too soon. WAIT UNTIL LA!! I guarantee you the calls will go the other way, and Boston fans could be giving the same crying excuses. Wether you want to believe it or not, it's part of home court advantage. And to sum it up, LA didn't decide to start playing until the 4th......

Won't happen. LA wins first 2 in LA, then Boston steals the 3rd. They then finish at home in game 6.
