Sickening watching the Lakers play that way. Here's a bold prediction, if the Lakes don't win game 5 this series is done in 6.

Of course, the whole foul/free throw thing will turn around now in favor of the Lakers, one of the more annoying things about the NBA. The officials.

OK the Lakers are getting their asses kicked tonight for sure' date=' but the fact that OKC has shot double the FT's that LA has is asinine.....[/quote']

Serious question for you..... You always bring up foul shoot discrepancies in games, Do you believe the number of foul calls on each team should be even?? Cause some teams and players do a good job of going to the basket aggressively and getting fouls called. And some teams on defense play VERY lazy and slow and thats why they get fouls called against them (The lakers last night)... Lazy D+Aggressive Offense= Lots of free throws.

Just like the NFL... Penalty flags should not be even.... teams with lack of discipline gets more fouls called against them.

Dwight howard has been playing very lazy offense (Pushing off, using elbows to get space) and late overly aggressive defense... This is why he's been on the bench the whole damn series.

I'm not saying they should be even, but both teams have been very aggressive going to the rack this series. For the FT attempts to be so one sided is ridiculous. I understand it's because Jackson opened his mouth, but if the officials aren't held accountable for this stuff it will only get worse. Just my opinion though....

It's just the "Home Court Advantage", something the NBA has to fix if they ever want to compete with the NFL again.

Game 5 Kobe will go to the line 10 plus times, guaranteed.

Yea I know, I just don't get whats so hard about blowing the whistle when a guy gets "fouled" and swallowing it when it's a touch foul. It goes both ways obviously though, but its gotta get more consistent. It's one of the reasons basketball is one of my least favorite sports, the officials can make it an absolute joke way to easy. They aren't even held accountable for stuff like this. When was the last time you heard of an NBA official getting fined or suspended because they blew the whistle too many times for the home team.....

Kobe goes for 32/7/3 and leads the Lakers to victory in the 6th and deciding game against the Thunder. I believe I heard that Kobe has scored 30 plus in 6 straight decisive 6th games.

So with that in mind:

There was and will continue to be a difference tonight however.

Gotta love the crowd reaction in the background of the Gasol picture.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
