Could the 1st four games of the Conf finals been any better?

No. The best part is that vital calls in each series went against the home team in the waning seconds. That travel call on Lebron was obvious but still gutsy.

As a constant NBA referee basher/conspiracy theorist, I have to say I agree. These games have been called not always well, but very fairly so far. The fact that LeBron was called for two offensive fouls in a row in the fourth then that travel made it easier to appreciate his game-winner. Hopefully this continues, as it makes the games much more enjoyable.

They have been at least called pretty evenly though the refs are too hyper sensitive to tough calls and incidental contact type fouls.

For the record....


This > 6 T's in the playoffs cost a player the next game is complete bu lldodo.

If your going to use the World Cup soccer code of player discipline at least reset the number of T fouls after either all rounds of the playoffs or something equivalent. If Kobe missed a game 7 in a conference final because of a BS tech. Rasheed has affected the game immensely in ways that are overkill

Kobe needs an I.V. The rest of them are so fkn lazy it's sick. My guess is we see a big let down now.

No Kobe is a better actor than the rest. Spike Lee told him what to do.

Fisher is just over the hill
George Karl makes a lot of mistakes too
Dont they have a freakin out of bounds play? Having to call a to was bad enough. The 2nd mess that they ran when Kmart just threw the ball to Ariza was terrible.

Interesting defensive adjustments by the lakers.

Still not exploiting size advantage enough. Bynum is either injured or the most overrated player in the NBA.

I dont think that they did anything special, it was just Denver getting in foul trouble and Kobe winning the game with an assist to george and Kenyon. I thought they did a pretty good job of exploiting Gasol's size's in the post. Like you said Bynum cant be trusted on the offensive end. It is simply evenly matched teams.

They played the majority of the season without him.
If you watched them you would realize they push the ball
off of long rebounds and steals. Bynum does not fit this
scheme, especially in his currently immobile/out of shape
state.

Kobe and Gasol.
This is what the Lakers have.

Then pray someone else shows up.
Usually Ariza or Odom.
