In all fairness (and believe me, I’m no Lakers fan), the Lakers were doing what they needed to do: getting the ball to their bigs and attacking the basket. That gets you to the line. NBA officiating can be atrocious, sure…but this wasn’t an example, in my opinion.

This has been a great series. The Hornets have showed a lot of guts, and no team with Chris Paul can be counted out, ever. But with the Spurs playing like they are, it’s sure looking like the Lakers are coming out of the West.

yeah, that offensive machine Perkins will out play the
hall of famer who is currently # 5 on the scoring list.
Perkins is a thug, he has no game but to hack, I want to see
him without that other thug KG.

There were so many bogus calls going the lakers way it was ridiculous! Our hornets players could tap one of the lakers and they would have called a foul but when carl laundry went up twice and both times had his arms hammered the refs didn’t call anything! I went to the game here this past Sunday and I witnessed that during the start of the third quarter.. This game they started it right off the bat wasting no time to give the lakers a huge advantage. I hate how hate how all of this is the result of big markets. More money for the NBA to have the lakers continue playing then have the hornets upset the Lakers.

The Lakers did not get “back on track,” this has been the plan all along. Anytime they lose a game, it is only because Phil and Kobe decided they needed to in order to lull the competition into a false sense of security. And, as they proved last night, it works!

THANK YOU!!! The Hornets have played them tough and have proved we CAN disrupt the bigs enough if our front court can stay out of foul trouble. If okafor would settle down and stop playing so nervous and if Gray can man up and grab some rebounds we still have a punchers chance…. but not if they’re gunna call ticky tac fouls on us and let the lakers players LITERALLY punch Hornets players in the face with no repocussions (Paul, Belinelli, Landry). Shannon Brown should have been suspended for that elbow he tried to land, had he landed it he would have knocked the guy out…. but hey its the Lakers!

The league doesn’t want the Lakers to lose. I’ve been a Laker fan for 33 years. Calls are going to go their way during the early rounds of the playoffs, especially at home.

The Lakers shot 19 free throws in the 4th quarter – how fortunate.

I agree, the officiating was awful, but the Lakers were also better. As much as I want them to lose, they’re just a better team. I’m hoping Dallas wraps it up tonight so we can see that matchup next round.

I said it at the beginning of the series, the key to the series isn’t Chris Paul. He can play spectactular and they will still lose as long as the Laker bigs impose their will.

Was there really any doubt that the Repeat World Champion Lakers would respond when the hard playing Hornets tied the series 2-2 that the Lakers would come out like gangbusters and send the message that this series is over and the Hornets can look forward to going fishing after Thursday night’s game? Sorry folks but the Lakers are just too big and too tough to be denied a Threepeat!

I dont wanna sound like a minnesota Viking fan but can anyone talk about how completely biased those calls were last night???? Ive never seen so many phantom calls in my entire life. The game was over before it even started bc of it… makes me sick to my stomach how biased the refs are to “superstars” and “big market” teams when they’re at home. The only way the hornets get a fair game is on their home court, SOMETIMES. I know everyone complains ab refs when their team loses but last night was sickening.

As an avid Laker fan I was glad and happy to see many things finally fall into place tonite..but I’m definitely not under any illusion they can still pull off a 3 peat. I want to see it happen but teams like Boston and Chicago look awfully damn good and if the finals were to start today I might go as far as to say we’d see a game 6 but I would have serious reservations about my Lakers chances
