I know the Jazz are gonna foul, maybe even more than the Lakers, but a 43 differential between the two teams?  It really doesn't make sense and should not happen either way.

OK I know you might be a dillusional Lakers fan who believes that because you have Jack sitting on your sideline that the sun rises and sets on your basketball arses.  But, believe it or not the officiating seemed (I'm trying not to be too forward) very biased.  I mean it wasn't too long ago that if the offensive player initiated the contact he would be the one being called for the foul.  That's Kobe's whole game; then the defense gives him room so they don't foul out.  He's OVER-RATED.  Let's make this easy to understand; take away Derek Fisher, then who's going to lead your offensive machine; take away the post play of Pau Gasol, who's going to suck the defenders in.  The fact is that Kobe the rapist Bryant got the MVP as a gift because "he hasn't gotten one and he's been in the league 12 years".

Yes the officiating is horendous.  I know the Jazz are fouling; they tend to do that because they play tough defense.  But you cannot tell me that as many times as Deron Williams hit the floor, as many times as Carlos Boozer had his hands slapped for a "steal", as many times as Jazz bigs took a charge for a blocking foul...   ...you can't tell me  that this is an evenly called game.  I thought that the Rockets series was pretty biased (especially toward the end of each game), but dang this is ridiculous.

Yesterday was finally better.  The Jazz were still outshot on the foul line and I sort've expect that, but it was not an insurmountable differential.  Kobe still gets away with his hook around offensive foul move and Utah is still getting hit inside and not getting the calls, but at least last night the refs let the teams play!  I would rather that than have every foul get called every two seconds.  The Jazz got a much needed win and hopefully they can tie up the series 2-2 tomorrow and head back to LA.
