It's even worse when you factor in the intentional fouls (since the only such fouls committed by the C's were 4 tonight vs 10+ by the Lakers in their close loses). 

People will say you are whining but it is a legitimate gripe.  These teams are both aggressive and live in the paint, but only one got calls consistently.  Also, the Laker bigs constantly camp in the paint and go over the back on rebounds with impunity; fine not to call that in a "let em play" game (as 4,5,6, and 2/3rds of 7 were), but when it gets ticky-tack, come on.

The NBA is getting worse by the year.  This is the third time in 10 years that the Lakers have been gifted enormous amounts of 4th quarter FTs to offset horrid shooting.  The other times were in Game 7 2000 WCF and Game 6 2002 WCFs, both must wins and both with one of the Laker refs (Crawford and Bavetta).
