2009 NBA Playoffs!

Bullshit the Lakers have been getting the good side of the refs.

?...

Although you are on the Magic train, so I guess they are perfect in every way, shape, and form. You're entitled to be ignorant. And you're right about there being a bias. They are letting Howard shove people out of the way to get rebounds and shots. That's bully ball, and if they called everything he did then he would be out in 3 quarters.

Okay, let me break it down in laments terms that you can understand. Basketball is a physical game. I know Kobe shooting fadeaways all game isn't that physical, but the rest of the league they allow to actually play ball and go for the ball. When you are going for the ball you are allowed to move THROUGH somebody to get the ball, to a certain extent. I know the grassfag sports you ejaculate to might be pretty strict, but Basketball is an actual sport, that requires much more physicality.

You're right, if they called Howard for everything you complain about, he would be out in 3 quarters. And so would the rest of each team. Refs are paid to determine what is intentional and what is not. The Lakers are a team full of actors that get bumped and go flying accross the court like the other players are some superhuman bitch ass pussy pounding machines, it's hilarious to watch.

He's getting the benefit of the referees. And Kobe does get called for fouls that he actually commits. Pietrus and Lee are swatting his arms every time he gets the ball and have to resort to cheating to stop him. You even agreed with me that Hedo was playing cheaply and still is.

LOL, are you being serious now? The officiating has been bad for both teams, but the Lakers definitely are committing more fouls and just not being called as much. As for their acting skills, that's most of what you see when you are flipping back and forth channels from MLS0001.

I'll agree that the Magic need to clean up their game, and that the officials need to work better at balancing the officiating.

You can't even see a different side of your argument, and you are calling me ignorant.

By the way, how many of Lamar Odom's blocks were called fouls simply because Howard had the ball? You're just ignorant, D3V. If you even watched the game you would know. Lakers are going to destroy the Magic.

Okay HoH, let me break it down for you again. I know that the rules of grassfaggery and the NBA's are completely different, but when you hit them while they are shooting, going up for a layup, it's a foul. I know in grassfaggery you can fuckin slide into people and kick the shit outta shins and do a bunch of gay shit while the ball is dribbling, but basketball is a completely different sport, and it's obviously too complex for you to get a handle on. Calling me ignorant is just making you look like a clown, honestly.

IF I EVEN WATCHED THE GAME?
you can't be serious.

Who made this thread numbnuts?
IF I EVEN WATCHED THE GAME.

You can think all day long that the Lakers might actually pull this one out, but there is still a lot of basketball to be played, and nobody is in or out at this point in time. The magic have gotten off to a bad start, and hell, they could've won game 2. You would be singing quite the different tune right now, hell you'd probably blame the refs even more if the Lakers were down 2-1, instead being up.

Ask anyone that doesn't live in a state where the temperature declines to the point where their intelligence actually drops and they'll tell you, they'll tell you that you're wrong.

I'll agree that the Magic need to clean up their game, and that the officials need to work better at balancing the officiating.

I saw the other side of the argument you presented and quickly corrected it for truth's sake. The Magic, just like the Rockets and Nuggets, have to resort to cheating in order to try to win.

You didn't prove me wrong. Also, I'll disregard your very skewed view of soccer. And you are flaming outside of the flame forum by attacking me and my love of the sport of soccer.

I'll let you babble about how much more you know about basketball than I do since you have nothing better to do with your time. I know that basketball is a physical sport, but you're not allowed to actually grab people and throw them out of the way. Obviously you need to take a closer look at my post, ignoramus. I'm finished arguing about this because you're the type of person who feeds off of stirring problems up, and no matter if you are proven wrong you will still argue.
THE END.

Damn there's a stretch. Yeah, you know they've had to rely on being physical and "CHEATING" all season has nothing to do with being the top 3 point shooting team all season, hell they set a record this year for 3 points. Last time I checked, shooting a 3 point shot has nothing to do with pushing people out of the way. Calling any team a cheating team is a stretch.

I'll let you babble about how much more you know about basketball than I do

You're right, I won't argue that point. This 'babbling' is actually should be viewed as some potential education for you.

And you're right, you should just stop arguing now, you obviously don't know what you're talking about and just need to save yourself a headache and surf back over and watch some MLS.

Wow, the magic can't win even when the referees are blatantly homering the Lakers. Yeah Kobe got away with an elbow, but how many Lakers got hit in the face with no call?! Also, Pietrus should have been ejected and given a flagrant 2, not a flagrant 1 for that double fist kidney punch on Gasol's final basket. Completely unneccessary.

Lakers up 3-1, suck it D3V.



Edit: You seriously neg-repped me for these posts? What are you 8? Get a fucking life!

Lakers win it 4-1. GG NO RE Orlando. Better luck next time.
