The Lakers are an embarrassment

[Gman]

The Lakers are getting every single call, and even calls that aren't there, go there way. Vapor calls.

This is bullshit. Its all about TV revennue. The playoffs always have been. The Lakers need the TV networks to protect them from the Spurs sweeping them. The Laker are a joke being protected by the refs and the TV networks.

1. however

today the Spurs couldn't throw a pebble in the ocean. I agree that the Lakers get the zebras help but today the Spurs just couldn't get it done. The worst officiating ever occurred in the WCF in 2002 with the Lakers Kings series. Now that was a disgrace.

2. NBA playoffs or WWE wrestling...

...in both of them all of the participants know who is going to win ahead of time. Sure the fix is in but the NBA has been fixed for a long time now.

5. The Spurs vs Washington Bullets

for the Eastern Conference Championship, maybe like 1978 or so... Game 7, in the 4th quarter Earl Strom single handedly handed the NBA Finals to Washington. Washington at the time had Wes Unsel and the ugliest man in pro basketball at that time, Adrian Dantley.

3. We just have to wait until Shaq retires........

and if Kobe doesn't go to jail, he'll be outta there. I don't think Jackson is going to coach much longer either.

I agree that the Lakers are the refs baby. Hell, they don't even call the three-second on Shaq anymore. He just PARKS underneath. And don't get me started on the elbows he always throws. Malone has always been bad about that shit too.

LAKERS SUCK!

4. They counted 6 seconds on Shaq the other night

before they finally made the call.
