LOL

I find it quite amusing that you say the Lakers have two of the biggest thugs when Sam and Spree (Albeit one of my favorite players) are on your team.

The thing is, yeah the Lakers do get some calls. But it's not like they get every call possible. That's just silly to assume. The thing is, there is no way anyone can guard Shaq without somewhat fouling him. That's how dominating he is. But, being reasonable, the refs call the obvious fouls instead of the little contact that has to be made if they even want to contain him. Do you see where I'm coming from?

Granted, everyone isn't a 300+ pounder, but some fouls are going to be called and some are not. It's the way it's going to be and whenever you accept it, the game is much more fun and entertaining.

I have pretty much learned to take the NBA as it is and not wish it was something it's not, every foul isn't going to be called so I'm not going to blame every one of my team's losses on the refs. ANd I'm certainly not going to complain about them if my team wins

Now, if the game is just too one sided to bear, I will simply turn it off and wait for the next game and comment on the calls, I just don't see the point of ranting up and down about the calls or non calls of a game.

Now if I was playing the game then yes I'm sure I would be more upset, but I'm not so I'm just going to watch the game and enjoy.
