Celtics draw dream ref assignments for Game 1

[CoachCowens]

Lakers got called for more fouls once against Denver, Once against Utah and twice against the spurs.

Obviously there is a bias and it is against whoever the Lakers play.

Thanks, Bahku, TP, you're absolutely right. I think LakerLanny is the only person thinking "Hmm, LakerLanny is making some pretty good points."

By the way, Lanny, yes, all of us who were impartial agree the Mavs-Heat series was a joke, I don't completely remember the Knicks-Bulls one, but I wouldn't be surprised to see you're correct on that one. But like I said, we were all impartial watching your series against the Blazers and Kings (maybe not all of us, some Celtics fans absolutely despise the Lakers, but I and many others just respect them as rivals) and all saw the same thing. That you won't admit it when you claim to be an expert on officiating is truly laughable. There's nothing wrong with being an overzealous fan, but don't pretend to be an impartial, rational analyst when you're clearly being inconsistent when it comes to your own team. You seem to believe the Lakers should be undefeated at all times and every time they lose it's because of bad officiating. That's cowardly, and even Phil, Kobe, Shaq and the rest of the Lakers would tell you the same.

By the way, in the Portland-LA series, you referenced two "obscene" free throw differentials in Games 5 and 6 for Portland. Those differentials were 34-30 and 34-27 for 68-57 overall. +11 in two games isn't that big. But +21 in one game - the Game 7 differential of 37-16 in LA's favor - is. Your stats don't even match up to your terrible arguments.

I don't have the energy to go through all your posts LakerLanny, I know you brought it up before the game, but after it are you saying that the game was poorly officiated?  Did Eddie F. Rush make any glaring bad calls?

I thought it was a pretty balanced officiating crew.  I don't think they were good, but I think bad calls were made both ways.  Since you know all about officiating and apparently no one else's thought seem to matter to you, I figured I'd ask you first.
