a wins a win.

I admit, I fell asleep when they were up over 20, so I missed the melt down, and that does concern me that they took their foot off the gas,

The refs did suck, they weren't letting the teams "play", I didn't like the first 2 calls on Kobe, the 3rd call was good when he tried to run through a pick. Then the play he complained about the replay showed he didn't get touched.

I don't think you'll see a lopsided game foul calls in LA in LA's favor.

As someone pointed out here, except Kobe, no one on LA drives to the basket and if you don't drive you're not going to get the calls.

Look at all the calls the Celtics got, they were driving to the hoop.

I will say "Paul Gasoft" didn't play that way last night, he was actually agressive and drove to the hoop, for LA to have a shot at taking all 3 in LA he has to keep doing that.

The Lakers are a Finese Offense and that type of team will always have trouble against a physical defense.

I do find it funny (in LA's defense) that when they run through teams they're a "high powered offense" and then when they don't win they're a "soft team". They are what they are a finese offense that relies on jump shots and fast ball movement to find the open player. No argument it got them this far, but if they want to beat Boston and they want to get foul calls they MUST start driving to the basket.
