So now the Lakers are making a big deal about the refereeing (imagine that) of game 2. While I often disagree with calls in the NBA, I think so far in game 1 and 2 they have done a terrific job of letting them play and making the correct calls. (a couple of stinky ones aside )

I did see a couple possible fouls go uncalled (both ways), but the problem is not the referees. The Lakers need to get there weight up and stop the ball, stop getting pushed around in the paint, and stop fouling when they get beat.
The reality is , the Celtics are a much more physical team and when you are outplayed physically, the reaction is usually to foul. To me its not suprising at all that the Celtics had more trips to the line than the Lakers. Kobe deserved 1-2 calls that he didn’t get, but other then that, they need to stop crying and man up.
