refs control games: lakers vs celtics!
« on: June 18, 2010, 06:36:59 AM »
so i'm watching the finals last night and i didn't really have any side of the other, i just wanted a great game, which besides the close score it wasn't! although i think i wanted the celtics to win just a tad more, because it seem like the sportscasters were for the lakers and i got sick and tired of them showing the so called 'celebrities" of our society in the stands, who gives a shit about them!?... anyway,

was it my imagination or reality that the lakers were given so many free throw attempts and the celtics seem to be called a foul every time the lakers came down the court?

we all know refs control the game, not just in basketball but every sport, but in trying to be fair and impartial it seemed that the lakers had like twice as many free throw opportunites and the celtics were called on twice as many fouls. surely, one team cannot be fouling and getting called on fouls by what seemed like a huge disparity in regard to the other team by that much. i wonder where i can find the scoreboard on how many more free throws the lakers got then the celtics and the ratio of fouls called on the lakers and the celtics and the difference?

this is nothing new, the league favors the Lakers and gives them a 'helping hand' all the time. Commissioner Stern famously said his dream matchup every year would be the 'Lakers vs the Lakers'. this Lakers team was stacked with talent comparable to any 2 other nba teams, hell we all remember when they got Gasol (a top 2 center, franchise player) and gave up NOTHING in exchange.

think about it this way: of the 60-something Finals in nba history, the Lakers have been in HALF of them...

imagine if a certain NFL team was in the Superbowl every other year, going back fifty years...

So have the Celtics.  I thought they said of the 66 championships the Celtics and Lakers have won 33 of them with 17 to the Celtics.  Not sure on the exact numbers but I am close I think

Remember the Italian Seria A match fixing scandal..Several Italain Teams were caught bribing Refs including Juventus, AC milan, Lazio, etc..

I've seen it quite a few times... Marseille French team.

They say this ref (Howard Webb) is a Manchester united fan. Seems like he gives them many favorable decisions.
