Who wants to bet that Stern and the refs will NOT let the Lakers lose

[j804]

I just don't see Denver winning we know how bad Stern wanted the Heat opening this Sunday for ratings, when Rose went down the Bulls got tossed to NBA TV.

He will not let LA lose in the first round he wants that OKC vs LA drama filled matchup.

Well ... LAL are better to step down tomorrow, thAn to be sweeped by OKC

[hpantazo]

Stern won't let them lose, that's why Lakers management assured Mike Brown that he won't be fired

[RebusRankin]

LA will get 15 more fta easy.

Of course Stern won't let that happen, but will the players not named Kobe let it happen?

As long as DEN comes out ready to play, they won't have to let the refs decide.

Faried has played Gasol very well this series..Javale has shown flashes of dominance.

If DEN can contain kobe, then the refs won't have any choice but to call the game as is, and DEN can get an upset.

I'd love to see game 6's second half continue through game 7--pure annihilation.

I'm sure it'll be a close physical game with both teams being aggressive obviously but expect all the fouls to go their way

Well, didn't see the game, but they said it was a lopsided free throw affair.....ron artest-the hack fest......licensed to kill.....why was it only 6 games...just in case they needed him.....nice..! I bet the refs are all for lakers......

Darn those refs; They made Bynum and Gasol both well over seven feet tall.

The Lakers aren't winning the series.  One thing to watch is whether they go down with class or if they take someone out with them as their ship sinks.  Hope they keep it clean I don't want any injuries to Ok. City, especially not at the hands of Bynum, Barnes or Artest, or any other nasties who are being groomed in L.A.

I don't expect the refs to help L.A. beat Ok. City.  Ok. City has arrived and would it would be great for them to be in the finals.  The real action with regards to NBA reffing, if that's what we should call it, is in the Miami Indiana series.  Missed the game but it seems the refs are off to their usual biased selves.....Clamp down on Indiana's best players early and often in order to stay on script.
