What are you talking about? So LA is getting inside, but since it's Gasol taking hooks they don't get calls? When do you setup drives with outside ball movement? Outside ball movement, and extra passes usually equate into easier shots not favorable fouls/calls. You isolate your defender and dish or get to the hoop...Have you played ball before at all?

I'm telling you the trend in the finals and playoffs is home team benefits from the refs.

What are you talking about? Are you even watching the game? What inside game?

Gasol taking hooks initiates zero contact. Maybe, if the Lakers passed the ball in and out, created picks/screens they'd be able to get people driving to the basket without the ball for an easy lay-up. Their assist numbers, says it all.

And yes, I played point thru-out high school. How about you?

Notes for Phil Jackson on Game 3:

Radmonovic is not your starter, guy belongs in left field of a Dodgers game in the stands.
If you have to double team someone, double team the guy raining threes - Paul Pierce.
Give Kobe the ball and let him create early - this got LA down to a 8 pt deficit from 18 in Game 2.
Tell Kobe he's not going to get his calls until he's back home in LA.
Get the fucking rebounds and create points in the transition game.

LOL... I like how the refs are calling fouls now that the game is pretty over. GG refs. Gotta hide all those uncalled fouls in the beginning of the game.

I played PG in highschool as well - at 5' 8" that's all I could play.

If you played point, wtf are you talking about with creating outside ball movement for an inside game? How are you saying there is no inside game for LA when they are trying but the fouls are not being called. It's point blank, LA is not getting the calls, Boston is. In/out? Picks? Are YOU not watching?

LA was putting Kobe in the post early, then went into pick/rolls. Nothing. No calls, no baskets, absolutely nothing. The little success that LA had came from Kobe bringing the ball up, pushing it himself and drawing the double. Boston is running the pick/roll and things look a lot better there. Could be the Laker's [lack thereof] defense or it could be the officiating playing a roll.

Oh look at that Kobe, is pushing the ball himself and creating...success.

O RLY?

WTF is up with the travel on that breakaway?

 

[EvilYoda]

LOL, if they even tie it up, I'm going to shit myself. 24 point deficit what? Craziness.

 

[zerocool84]

Woah what a turnaround. It's down to the wire. Time for triple ocho to take over.

 

[tfinch2]

Let's see if Pierce has ice in the veins and can knock these down.

 

[JJChicken]

phew pierce makes the free through

Forget it, it's not worth trying to discuss it with you. Again, I'm talking about moving the ball inside and out by passing, creating lanes for folks to drive to the basket, another pass, basket.

Nice comeback by the Lakers.

On Radman? Yeah, the refs are making all calls in favor of the Celts.
