=85by the officials! Are you freaking kidding me? The Lakers had 21
more free throw attempts. Posey gets tackled and thrown out of bounds
and no call. God forbid the Lakers lose 3 in a row. I'll bet Mr. Stern
is happy tonight. The unfortunate thing is, it happens every time we
play the Lakers or Kings or Spurs, etc. Guess we'll see more of the
same in the playoffs. They'll just have to overcome.

That game was really awful as far as that goes, but the game was pretty
encouraging overall. With Posey not himself due to the flagrant foul,
AND Pau and Bonzi out altogether, AND the ridiculous Laker-loving by the
refs, Memphis still only lost by single digits and led with what, five
minutes left?

Besides that, had the Griz managed to make more than 50% of their
miniscule amount of free throws, they still might have pulled it out.
What did they have, 22 free throw attempts? If they make 16 instead of
11, it's a 3 point game at the end. At that point, anything can happen.

As for Pau, Bonzi and JP, I just hope they're ready for the playoffs.
