Well, so far, every call is against Utah
5 fouls on the jazz, ZERO on the lakers.

Yeah, it's all clean

Maybe, just maybe, the Lakers haven't committed those fouls.

Utah is not playing like they should be winning.

L.A. still has more points in the paint than the Utah has points.

Elson has been contributing, but I question whether he's aggressive enough.

I want me some Fesenko beatdown out there.

They called the jazz for a foul when Artest ducked under and forced it. The jazz did the same thing on the other end and no call. Jerry Sloan was livid.
Lakers are being allowed to play very physical, but when the jazz did the same thing, nothing is called. Now the jazz have to back off, the lakers don't.
 
and why is it that EVERY time we have something to say about the lousy officiating, that some dork has to come back with "It's not the only reason that the jazz are losing'

DUH! Nobody has said that it's the reason. We just hate seeing the reffing so one-sided.
 
Fesenko and Hayward checking in. Very interesting. But let's see if he lets them play long enough to see what combo works.

Great. Fes comes in immediately and gets called for an offensive foul on setting a [illegal] pick, and Gasol scores over him.

Booner says that it would be nice that Okur were here. But MO's lack of speed isn't much of a plus defensively IMHO--or even in interior O.

I think that you're talking to me. Well if the Jazz aren't playing like they deserve to win, then it doesn't matter what the refs do, does it?

Utah's not being aggressive enough to get the calls, and Sloan insists to go with his undersized lineup when it has been proven FOR YEARS to be ineffective against the Lakers. We had hoped that the one to two inches of height that Jefferson brings over Boozer would make a difference, but evidently that's not the case.

I want to see a lineup of DW-CJ/RP-AK-PM-FE/KF. Not crossing my fingers that I'm gonna get it.
 
Refs didn't help but that's not why the Jazz are losing. Jazz are losing because Lakers are getting layups and Jazz are shooting fadeaways. 1st-quarter points in the paint 20-8 Lakers. That's being aggressive.
 
Lakers have two starters on the court. But just for a challenge, Utah goes with all backups. Yeah, it's all the players' fault. And the refs. There's no reason that AK can't be out there; he has no fouls and got a couple of extra minutes' rest already.

Update: Jefferson comes in for Fesenko after less than 4 minutes' playing time after Gasol subs out. AJ misses hard immediately.

The "prison guard" tandem of Price and Watson are doing good things. RP with a sick dunk but now has two fouls. Still 39-21.

Somebody has to play physical on Odom.
