Offical: Lakers vs. Celtics 12/30 7:00PM PST Game On FSN West & NBATV

Can we please stop with the conspiracy theories? Please?

Y'all are my fellow fans, and that's not a good look for us.

#1- Good teams get calls. The Patriots get calls that the Dolphins don't get. The Red Sox get calls that the Royals don't get (although I haveconsistently said that the MLB refs are by FAR the most fair officials of the 4 major leagues). The Celtics get calls that the Heat don't get (anymore).That's just the way it is, and always will be. It's called a 'positive bias', and it's part of every person's thought process. TheCeltics are the team to beat this year, so FOR THE MOST PART, they're going to get a majority of the calls throughout the game.

#2- Stern having his hand in games right now, after the Tim Donoghey (sp?) ref scandal? That would basically be career suicide.

#3- The Celtics are awesome this year. We're nice, but they're definitely nicer. This is a gameI would expect us o be competitive in and have a CHANCEof winning, bt this isn't a game where I can look at and go, "Yep, I expect that o be a victory."

you earn those "calls" and this current celtics squad havent earned SQUAT.

but the lakers arent losing because of the calls. they are losing because they cant stop ro put the damn ball in the hoop...

and the spurs are the team to beat this year not the celtics...
 
watching the game on fsn courtside, it makes me sick how horrible Kwame Brown is. it's crazy. he's trash.
 
I think the refs slurping this unproven celtics team caught the lakers off guard, especially on their home court. Either way Kobe is shooting terrible.
