Officiating was horrid tonite .. i was so pissed. brandon roy drives into the lane, kobe gets both hands on the ball without touching him, pulls it away and it's a foul ... a few posessions later, Kobe drives, Aldridge rakes across his arm and no call. Aldridge shoots a 22 footer with what look like both feet on the line and it's a 3. Roy falls hard and it's a flagrant. Frye pushing Odom and Gasol in the back on every freakin rebound .. Gasol getting hit on the head under the basket, no call .. daammiit, not happy ... and Radman was always out of position defensively, and Farmer made some stupid plays on the other end.
This is what happens when we continue to start games off playing like crap, and expect to make some type of miracle comeback in the fourth quarter. This has been happening way too often lately. If we had played with high energy the entire night, we would've won. Instead, we continue to dig ourselves into big wholes almost every single game, and expect someone like Kobe to lead us out. Pathetic.
Wow looks like we got screwed tonight. Although we are at fault as well, lazy/dumb bastards. Kobe must not be very popular with this crew, and the game was on the road to make matters worse.
The crowd was chanting Kobe sucks. ****ing blazer announcers piss me off so much I hate them they are worthless and so stupid!! I love my blazers as much as I love the lakers but our announcers here are dipshits.

Road games against decent teams aren't exactly locked up for us. I guess we shouldn't be too upset with ourselves, we could have easily given up after being down 16 very late in the game. What frustrates me is our lack of concentration and our low IQ players.

Again, like I said, I love when casual fans come in and say how the Lakers are always getting calls in their favor, how the NBA loves the Laker, and how David Stern loves the Lakers etc. etc. Someone needs to tell those guys to actually watch games before making those ridiculous statements. Sure, we get favorable calls, just like every single team in the league does. But we do get screwed quite often. Actually, we've been getting screwed a lot for the past couple of years
The officiating was beyond garbage, tonight. So was Jordan. I heard the Blazers announcers were fuckin' terrible. They wanted to create a Flagrant 4, for the Odom foul!

Lamar just jumped up and Roy just fell hard, but Lamar did nothing wrong.
I expect them to rescind it, but I don't think they will. It seems like the league doesn't give any breaks to us.
**** it how could we lose this game.Thur the Clipps Fri Hornets and Sunday Spurs, **** we need to win at least 2 of 3

We need ALL 3... if not the suns might swipe the Pacific Title from us and we' fall down to #5... We also need all 3 especially against the Spurs and Hornets for Kobe to get his MVP
