Not sure if i saw one or two fouls on the last drive. There was definitely one as he was going into the shot.

So you're saying if a team wins their division full of crappy teams they should get home court over a team with a better record in the regular season? Anyways I hope Marc clowns his big brother tonight.

No, they should go by just win/loss record. Screw if you win the division.

Did you guys think the game was officiated fairly?

I saw the box score and I find it hard to believe it was. I'm so tired of the bullcheat that comes along with playing the Lakers. When they played the Pacers, it was so obvious the Pacers weren't going to win. The refs were not going to allow it. Without the blatant favoritism, the Pacers win handily. But with the refs on their side, the Lakers win 99-93 while shooting 30 free throws to the Pacers 9. I see the Lakers shot 18 to your guys 7. Not quite as horrible but I notice a trend... for such a mediocre team, they sure do play great defense apparently, right? I mean, how often do teams get held to under 10 free throws in a game? The answer is never... unless it's against the Lakers.

Sucks for our teams. Both the Grizz and Pacers pride themselves on being team oriented and defensive minded but the large markets/superstars are always given preferential treatment. I wonder what our records would be if refs not only gave us a fair game every night but gave us special treatment. Gotta make that money and reel in those viewers though...

Sorry, didn't mean to go off on a rant lol. I just wanted to see how you guys felt about shooting 7 free throws against the Lakers? I didn't watch the game but it seems like b.s. to me.

The announcers felt the same way in the post game.

The Grizz are superior to the Lakers in every way but they're still the darlings to the officials, as crappy as they are this season. I feel for San Antonio or OKC if they have to play 5 on 8 in the first round.

We are CAPABLE of being better or at least as good as almost everyone. We sometimes (understatement) start out lackadaisical (??), which is frustating as hell, knowing the talent that we have on this team.
And..... it ain't no secret, the officiating will always be what it is. We are the new kids on the block, yet we are good enough to overcome some favoritism most of the time, if we would just play the way we are capable of playing.
Just sayin...........

We always play to our opponent's level, which is so frustrating. No matter how good or bad the team is, we seem to always play to that level. We'll beat OKC in a thriller then blow one off and lose to New Orleans. Bugs the crap outta me. We could easily be a 1 seed right now had we not lost so many of these gimme games.

I think we are a great team. And when all of our players work together like friends, they can do AMAZING things.

We have to win games like tonight in order to stay in contention for the 3 seed and be able to retain the 4th seed.
