Donald your speaking out of both ends either the refs were making bad calls or no calls. If its the no calls that falls on your soft team for playing soft and not trying to draw the contact...that is not on the officials. You expect them to call mild contact when you guys are knocking Nash all over the floor? Kobe gets breathed on and gets calls so you have NO right to complain about any NO calls against a LA team that regularly rakes in wins based on home cookin'.

A no call is a bad call. If you want clarification, what I am and have been referring to is the lack of calls, not an overabundance of them. Hence the focus on your team's 12 fouls in 48 minutes.

And yes, I pretty much said EXACTLY that it's the Lakers fault for a) not going aggressive themselves to see if it would be called that way on the other side and b) for Pau to shrink and not keep forcing the issue. Been pretty clear about that too. I have no idea why you can't see that.

Edit: I went back and looked, and I never said "bad calls." I've repeatedly said "missed calls" and "no calls." If you make a distinction (which I don't) then I was clear and you misinterpreted.

See, this is just silly. It's only mild contact, yet we are knocking Nash (while the Suns were blatently targeting Fish and knocking him around, yet that's ok because he's dirty). Kobe only gets fouls when breathed on (whatever) so nobody can complain about legit poor reffing. Lakers get home cooking (duh, so do most home teams) so therefore nobody can complain when they get the short end of the stick. Funny I'm only complaining about Game 4, not Game 3 where a more realistic 21 fouls were called in 48 minutes on the Suns. But, since I'm a Laker fan that wild foul total of 12 means nothing and only Suns fans can complain about refs in any way. Obviously, the Suns were just super clean and Pau completely changed his game because of mild contact.

:safe:

Good stuff nashman, always good for a chuckle.

Whatever Donald your team jacked up jump shots all night you said it yourself, the Suns aren't fouling jump shooters.....GET IT? Your team did not attack SO THEY DIDN'T GET FOULED OFTEN is it really that hard for you to understand? I am done with this debate your a Lakers fan so clearly your going to point to the officiating and FT differential as the reason your team lost I get it. The only thing I agree with you on is the Lakers pussed up and therefore they didn't get nor DESERVE calls!

I LOVE LAMP!!!


none of the fans of our opponents ever realize that one of the remaining philosophies of the dantoni era was "don't foul." now we don't take it to the ridiculous extreme that we did during the dantoni era (where it was interpreted as "let them get layups"), but it's still a part of this team's philosophy and psyche. as a result other teams don't tend to take many FTs against us simply b/c we tend not to foul. that's not the refs' work, but rather a result of our style of play.
