So much for the officials favouring the Lakers.
Denver have got a lot of questionable calls in this game.

Although LA should have put them away in the first half.

C'mon refs, don't ruin another one.

Did you see the calls Gasol has been getting on the Denver bigs? They're not allowed to jostle on the boards apparently.

Yeah, but Bill Simmons was suggesting that LA were getting all the calls going their way. That's definitely not the case.

Denver got luck on that jump ball, again.

denver ties the series...

duffer · 21-05-2009, 09:54 PM

No-one gets every call, refs are going to make mistakes. But the touch/contact calls are so ridiculously subjective and LA are getting the large proportion of them.

EDIT: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course.

I have a feeling this series is gonna go the distance. As soon as one team gets a lead they tend to fall asleep, and then all of a sudden the scores are even again.

duffer · 21-05-2009, 10:40 PM

So so awesome.

EDIT:

ok both top seeds have lost home court advantage...it's far from over but nuggets vs magic in the finals was not a scenario even their most ardent fans would have imagined...

"It ain't just going to be us and Orlando lay down so [LeBron and Kobe] can play in two weeks," Martin said. "That ain't going to happen. I'm going to make sure it don't. Y'all can go home and play NBA Live or something like that if y'all want to see that matchup. We're going to have something to say about it."

Goddamn, it's hard not to love how this team plays ball. Old Skool powerhouse basketball. Lakers and Cleveland might be a drea final but it looks like these dawgs are up for the fight.

Hilarious how the same people who called Melo overrated and barely a top 15 player in the last couple of years are now calling him a superstar.

KiWiNiNjA · 22-05-2009, 05:42 AM

Kobe vs LeBron
Melo vs LeBron

Either one would be an awesome match-up. I just hope Orlando don't spoil the party.

But Melo didn't live up to the expectation like LeBron and Wade did. Watched him play in NCAA, he was great. But somehow he faltered in NBA in his early years. Now that he is performing, people are rightly acknowledging it.

Hahahaha!

Not able to watch either series but hoping to see the Nuggets see Lakers off. Any one of Magic, Cavs and Denver could take the championship and I'll be happy, as long as its not the Lakers. Wish I could watch the Denver game 2 replay somewhere, sounds like a good one. Anyone know where I can catch game 3 being in UK?
