You guys are obviously just dissapointed because the Raps made an awesome comeback but weren't able to finish off. AllNet, why are you crying? Did you even see any of the game? Their were also a lot of questionable calls on the Lakers side as well. Raps didn't deserve to win this game, Lakers played great throughout the 1st half, collapsed in the 2nd half but buckled down on defense and made some key stops that they needed towards the end of the game. VC did not get "raped", he got stripped by "The Glove". Stuff happens like that when you have a great defender on your team.
What do you fiqure is crying? this is the freaking internet,How do you cry over a game?.I don't like the Raptors but they clearly got shafted.Calls were bad both ways for most of the game but late in the game is when the refs normally favour the Lakers.Payton got away with murder on the last play. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">VC did not get "raped", he got stripped by "The Glove"</div> What a homer
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AllNet:</div><div class="quote_post">Yes,DID YOU?</div> Yup, if that was a foul, it wasn't as obvious as you say...I saw like 4 replays, and all of them looked clean...just my opinion

What a homer</div> Are you kidding me? Lakers are never favored late in the game. Actually, they usually get screwd late in games. It isn't as obvious as your saying it is, Payton simply put his hands on the ball and you say he's gotten away with "murder". You guys can complain about it all you want, but at the end of the day, you have to realize that Lakers won the damn game! Skip really said it best.... <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Skip:</div><div class="quote_post">yo, Raps suck ass... haha! </div>
It was a great game, but the Raps couldn't pull it off and VC seemed to have choked in the end. VC choking or GP making a great play, either way Raptors lost. I thought Raptors were gonna pull it into OT but LAkers are too great of a team. They proving that they can win, and when Kobe and Malone comes back its gonna be a dominate force. You can't blame a game on "calls". This is basketball. Both sides were pulled with calls that could have been questioned but in the end Raptors lost. Rose's 4 fouls in the first half came to effect. The Raptors were playing poorly in the first half compared to the LAkers. Lakers won end of story, GP came clutch. And I smell some new GP graphics coming around. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Skip:</div><div class="quote_post"> yo, Raps suck ass... haha </div> Raps played poorly.
all i can say is HORRIBLE FREE-THROW SHOOTING by the Raps!!! That and terrible performances by Palacio, Alvin, and Mo Pete. (props to Shaq for stunning EVERYONE in the ACC by making a surprising 10-15 free-throws in the game.) ....By the end, this game had about 83 what-ifs in it :
ALot of what if's in that game including the poor freethrow shooting. But I'll say this, that last so called strip should have been looked over at least. When the superstar of any given team gets that angry after such a play with that much question it should be called given the fact that its a game winning play. They should apply replays to last second fouls because I've never seen vince be that animated about a play unless he felt some major contact. But imo, the raps dont suck for loosing by one. Its sad on the opposite side when we have so much weak down low players and yet come to close to beating an over 500 team. If not for the lack of a call the raptors would have won

Raps played poorly.</div> No way, that was terrible, u think GP is clutch? Carter is clutch, thats the 2nd time he made a 3 late in the game in a row. I tell you, if Kobe drove, even anyone touches him at all its a foul, its unfair. Lakers get touched just a little and its a foul. Carter never gets a foul. They'll probably send him to his grave with nothing. Oh please, Payton was clutch... whatever, he stuck his hand out and slapped Carter's hands. Raps gets no breaks ever! You Laker fans are just used to winning, so u are angry when u lose, like when Derek Fisher cried cuz he didnt win the championship. You get all the calls all the time too, and think the other teams have it easy, all the wins laker ever got were from referees, Kobe gets touched, blows the whistle, Shaq too. Carter can get punched right in the face and no fouls made, its no wonder Carter doesnt want to drive in the lane anymore. All I know is that if Kobe were to do that, instant foul. And if he didnt get that call, u Laker fans would be complainin like mad that he did.

Raps played poorly.</div> What the hell??! How did VC choke, he got raped on that drive. He rarely ever chokes. He hit that last 3 when no one else on lakers or raptors could. He hit the 3 to tie the game previously against the Pistons with 4 seconds left No way did he choke, he's doin everything for the Raptors. cant say the same for the 76'ers they have a better team, but they just plain suck!

What do you expect
A lot of you Raps fans always say shoulda, coulda, woulda; trying to put the blame on someone outside the organization. The Lakers won this game fair and square, don't blame someone else now.

If you were to actually watch a Laker game you would see that Kobe hardly gets fouls called in his favor when he drives. Stop making Carter out to be such a victim, its pathetic.
im not blaming lakers. It was just a shame we lost. Its always our fault when we lose, i never blame others (except soccer world cup korea of course where the ref was really a bit ... drunk )

Yes the lakers won but the ref's deserve blame over a game winning decision.
