NBA Finals - Game 2's Officiating

Never in my lifetime have I seen a game as poorly officiated as I did on Sunday.  It was probably the worst I've seen in NBA history; how in the world did Boston put up 38 free throw attempts to the Lakers' 10?  There were a lot of fouls under the basket that weren't called, and I saw a couple three point plays the Lakers should have been awarded when Pau Gasol dunked over Kevin Garnett early in the game.

David Stern was in attendance at Sunday's game; I think he should send a memo to all three refs reprimanding them for the job they did.  The officiating was so one-sided; what I saw was absolutely ridiculous!!!  True, the Lakers didn't play very well, but some of it was the officiating.

As the scene shifts to LA tonight, I'm hoping for a much better game.  The refs owe us one.  I look for Kobe and Lamar to have monster games tonight; I'm confident the Lakers will at least tie the series, now that they will be playing three in a row at home.  Hopefully we can sweep all three here and then take Game 6 in Boston.
