win or lose...I'm just curious if you haters have seen enough yet to totally agree that officiating sucks ass...both for and against the Lakers? If not...then you truly are a hater!

It's sucked ass for years, it's nothing new. They are by far the most incompetent refs in any sport by a huge margin.

Closer Wanted

Must not celebrate too early.

Must not choke in the clutch.

Send resume to the Orlando Magic

---------------------------------

Dwight Howard, LOL :hand:

Orlando TOTALLY gave that game, and thus gave the series away. That was embarassing.

Ok, my thoughts...

18 free throws to 0 in the 4th and the first 3 1/2 of OT....thats an issue!!! In a game this intense and physical...thats some pooty officiating right there!

The refereeing was poo. absolute poo. we had some of our guys already in foul trouble by the end of the 1st Q? That's when the Magic built up their lead playing our reserves that early. Turkoglu's throwing elbows all over the place, but you can't blow on Dwight Howard lest the whistle be blown. IF he was a better free throw shooter the Magic may have just swept everyfrigginbody in their path.

I'd probably put money on it you're not even a Magic fan. You're just rooting against the Lakers and it's like we're so beatable the Magic had that game on a silver platter. The Lakers did what they've done the entire playoffs: come together and make clutch plays when it counts. You saw it in the Denver series, you saw it against the Rockets. The Magic didn't give the game to us, we took it away.

Oh, BTW, how is your allusion to that the Lakers were going to drop two in a row to the Magic going? Just like the Cleveland CavaLebrons?

Kobe had a better game than the last meeting, it wasn't spectacular but it was still a solid performance.

For all the bullshit calls we've gotten against us, they better tell Pietrus to sit the fug down for game 5 otherwise it only credits the theory that the Lakers are in this one against everybody, not just Orlando.

When did I ever give the allusion that I was a Magic fan? Yes, I do hate the Lakers. Doesn't mean that my point is any less valid.

Give me a fuging break. Even the biggest Laker homer can admit that Orlando choked in the final minutes of that game. 15 missed free throws including the two big ones by Howard with 11 seconds and a terrible job of defense by Jameer Nelson on Derek Fisher. I'm not discrediting the Lakers for taking advantage of mistakes, but don't sit there and act like that game was dominated by the Lakers from the tipoff and that there was no way the Lakers could have lost the game.

PS Arrogant homers like you are the reason that people hate the Lakers.

just like they are saying Kobe choked to lose game 3????

48 minutes (plus OT) to win a game...Orlando couldn't do it....totally dominated in the 3rd quarter as well...that doesn't count as a give away!

Who said Kobe choked to lose game 3? The Magic had a 3 point lead with a chance to make it five at the free throw line with 11 seconds left. If Howard hits even one of them, the Magic probably win. I credit the Lakers for making a HUGE 3 after that play, and for what they did in overtime, but still contend that the Magic choked away a game that should have been decided in regulation. How can a team with a 3 point lead completely not play any defense at the 3 point line on a guy who is on par with Robert Horry for hitting clutch shots with a few seconds left in the game? Why wouldn't you just foul him before he could shoot?

I came to say that after reading the Lakers fans comments. I don't hate the Lakers at all but, the Magic are giving this series away. I mean they are a free throw and a missed layup from being up 3-1. You never know how a team will react to a loss so up 3-1 may never happened had the layup fell in, but still. You guys think the NBA and refs are against the Lakers? That is just stupid. Stern wants the most popular team and player to win, he doesn't want the Magic winning. He is probably pissed they are even in this series. You homers need to take your Lakers goggles off.

why wouldn't you foul him...I thought about that last night and I don't think it would have been the right play...two foul shots would have cut the lead to 1 and you know the Lakers would have fouled right away and the way Orlando was missing...why take that chance?

I for one never said the refs were against the Lakers...I was using the evidence of last night to silence those that say the Lakers get all the calls their way all the time!!! As for could be 3-1....sure...IF! Orlando has themselves to blame for not being able to close out games that they could have won...but this makes the difference between good teams and greats teams!

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
