Congratulations, Joey! You have now surpassed Steve Javie and Violet Palmer as the worst official in the NBA! You are a total assclown, but congratulations!
(I mean, I know you were sent by David Stern for one particular reason tonight. But Jesus Christ, did you have to be so obvious about it? You f--k over the Rockets in Game 2 versus Portland... no surprise. Then you do it again in Game 2 against the Lakers. It's like you've finally found your niche.)
You suck, ya jackass!
GO ROCKETS!
(You still have homecourt advantage. Joey can't take that away from you!)
***oh, and FU, too Derek Fisher. You are better than that.

I agree ...
he is an aging ball player that has seen his best days pass him by. What a jackass. I can just see the Lakers locker room at half time, with all the talk of the cheap shots that were coming. Exactly what I would expect from this “championship caliber” team. The Rockets came roaring back in the 2nd quarter and even took the lead, and the Lakers simply panicked. They apparently aren’t supposed to have any trouble making it to The Finals this year according to ESPN. Didn’t ya hear?

So, how then, were the refs to blame?
You blame the refs when fouls aren’t called. Not when everything is being called. Being in the bonus at 8 minutes to go in the 4th only helps you. Yao doesn’t break double digits without the ft’s.
If the refs were screwing you. Nothing gets called. I’m not saying the refs were giving you easy calls, but there were a few tick tacky calls. How can you complain?

Ron got himself run.
The 1st tech was earned. The 2nd was inevitable. It was a throat slash from Ron Artest after he got in a player’s face (who just happens to be Kobe) in a chippy Tech laden game.
Not the refs fault. It was stupid to do given the situation.

The throat slash was after he got ejected
And it wasnt a slash, it was an elbow, but since a human cant physically elbow himself in the neck, he used his hand.

Artest is an unhinged player, he does not like Kobe and was fouling him to the head before the alleged elbow to the throat. Artest shoved Kobe half way across the lane with a forearm to the back of Kobe’s head. Watch the replay.

Wow!!! That had to be
one of the most dirtiest games that I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
It seemed to me that the Lakers felt that the Rockets were not going to go away and towards the end of the game, they got extremely dirty so they wouldnt drop 0-2 at home.
If Dwight got suspended for his elbow to Dalembert earlier in the playoffs, Kobe’s ass should be gone in Game 3. And Fisher’s suspension should be a no-brainer. If he plays in Game 3, I’ll go crazy. So we’ll have to see how consistent the NBA is…

Really...?
The Lakers (especially Kobe) dont like it when they are played against by a physical team like the Rockets. So throughout the course of the game, LA got frustrated that they couldn’t put the Rox away and were getting pushed around on their home court.
Kobe thinks he is a f*ckin basketball god or something, and that he can do whatever he wants and get away with it. Kobe knew what he did. The replay does not lie. I think even Stevie Wonder saw the elbow that Kobe threw on Artest. AND, to rub it in a little more, the foul was called on Artest. Get the f*ck outta here.

Oh, come on! I lost all respect for the Lakers tonight
This is the team that you guys think is going to win a championship? Lakers were thoroughly rattled by a bunch of determined role players (Hayes, Wafer, Landry, Brooks, Lowry) and they could not stand the heat and resorted to dirty play.
Game 1: Kobe slams Battier’s head with his elbow when he is on top of him. League lets it pass.
Game 2: Kobe elbows Ron Artest on his neck. He is not even called for a foul. Let us see what happens tomorrow.
Ron is right on about what happend in that sequence of events. This Rockets team is not going anywhere. The blatant thuggery displayed by Kobe, and the collective meltdown in the 2nd quarter is quite telling.
With all the talent advantage that the Lakers have, they don’t have a lot of heart that bunch of role players displayed today.

by Kari on May 7, 2009 2:27 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Quite telling indeed...
Lakers win by double digits. This is a joke. Nobody seems to be mentioning the fact that Ron Ron shoved Kobe about a foot under the basket before Kobe decided to do something about it. Oh right, and it was an intentional elbow to the throat when Kobe has his back to him. I’m sure he knew exactly where he was. Give. Me. A. Break.
You can’t have it both ways. If you guys want to be the rough-and-tumble, take-it-to-‘em team then chances are we’re the softies (see Finals, 2008) not the dirty ones.
Also, on the topic of dirty, let’s talk about Luis Scola pulling the jersey of an already falling Lamar Odom. Or was that just playoff basketball? You tell me.
All this being said, Joey Crawford is a horrendous referee and should no longer be allowed to ref in the NBA. Players get cut all the time for not being good enough, why can’t this happen more for refs?
Alright, that’s my two cents.

Ron Ron did not "shove" kobe
RonRon was fighting for position under the basket. kobe threw a high elbow, doesnt matter if he knew where Ron’s head was. Its like a high stick in hockey, its dangerous, and shouldnt happen.
Scola barely tugged Odom’s jersey, it just looked like he was pulling hard because as you stated, Lamar odom was “already falling.” Tough to tell how much of a pull occured when someone is already falling, but it obviously wasnt a big one because lamar didnt have any added motion due to it.

devolving into the severity of the act. Was it a pull? A tug? A yank? Point is, his hand had no business being clinched on the falling Lamar Odom’s jersey. It wasn’t hard to tell.

by Gils_Keloids on May 7, 2009 11:27 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The problem with that sort of argument is
That it assumes that both sides must be equally guilty. That everyone basically acts the same. So, ok, where was the premeditated elbow thrown at a Laker? We saw two. Where are the Laker stitches? Didn’t see any. Now, if Battier had gotten cut by, say, Brandon Roy, I’d think nothing of it. No rep as a cheap shot artist there. Now, I wonder. No, I don’t think Kobe meant to bang into Yao’s knee, he stood an equal chance of getting hurt, though Bynum may beg to differ…
Anyway, claiming bias does not automatically make things equal. It’s a popular argument, but not necessarily a true one.

but the real outcome of the game wont ever be known since refs were being retarded. thats the difference in saying ‘we would’ve won if it wasn’t for foul calls’ vs. ’shit’s fucked up but now we’ll never know.’ artests ejection = that shit needs to get reviewed by stu jackson. VERY CLEAR ’bow in the throat compliments of kobe.
also, lamar odom needs to shut his mouth. just because you never turned into the player you were expected to be and scola has surpassed expectations doesn’t mean he needs to have such a pompous attitude.

It's not about how many fouls were called on either team
The Rockets have one of the lowest foul rates in the league. The organization, from Daryl Morey down to the coaches preach not fouling. Why? Because FOULING IS BAD. Fouling close to the basket is even worse. Comparing the Lakers’ foul rate to the Rockets’ and saying the game was ref’d evenly is stupidity.
The Rockets, who barely foul as it as, against a jump-shooting Lakers team (Yes, Jump-shooting, check the season stats). The Lakers should far exceed the Rockets in foul rate every game this series. Of course, that never happens because officials are humans prone to human error, crowd influences, and general stupidity (I’m looking at you Joey Crawford). A closely-called game would benefit the Rockets (see first 4 minutes of 4th quarter).
That being sad, theatrical officiating aside, we turned the ball over way too much to deserve to win. The Lakers theatrics were sort of just icing on the cake. I hope Stu Jackson sorts this stuff out…the Rockets were nothing but physical and tough-minded as they have been all post-season, the Lakers were trash-talking and throwing cheap shots. Would any self-respecting player not respond to a blatant elbow to the face/throat? Ron-Ron deserves an apology from the league (and from Kobe).

Don’t get me wrong, I hate Joey Crawford with a fiery passion too and he sucks HORRIBLY at being a ref. Middle school gym teachers call fairer games than him. But still. You can’t scoff at one side saying the refs sucked in one series than turn around and complain about the refs sucking in the next.
Although the refs did suck. But didn’t we all know that BEFORE this started? The only team loved as much as the lakers by the refs are the celtics. It was…a foregone conclusion.

P.S. LAKERS fans sucks, they can not even compared with BLAZERS fan.
