Yes, Ricky Rubio trying to make a running 3 against the clock is not a high percentage play. That doesn't mean the refs should essentially walk off the court with two seconds left to play in the game.

Anyone who has watched the NBA in the last 15 years knows that the majority of these calls are going to go in the Lakers favor so I don't think anyone in their right mind is going to complain about that non-call or even question it. Its just the way it is. Rubio is a 79% shooter. Mathematically he should make 3/3 49% of the time. Thats hardly the impossibility you're making it out to be.

man shut up

this is nothing but you doing your standard "i hate the lakers and kobe bryant" crybaby routine

and quit with the hyperbole, I never said it was an impossibility. In one of my posts I even pointed out a 10% shooter could make three straight, so obviously I'm aware it's possible for Rubio to. I said the majority of the time he does not make all three which is fact.

Stop being ridiculous, anyone who watches the NBA period knows the refs tend to swallow their whistles at the end of the game. I get it you're butthurt that the Lakers won and the refs didn't blow the whistle on a game tying three attempt they'd rarely blow the whistle on. If the roles were reversed and it was Kobe shooting you wouldn't be in here acting like a bytch. You'd probably be agreeing with me, that the refs rarely calling a foul there.

Rubio is European, and everybody knows when a Euro player gets touched in any manner the hair flys around, arms go flying and the fall to the floor with furious anger and vigor.

Good no call.


Blame Dirk.

What does this "the majority of the time he does not make all 3" garbage come from? He is 79% for his career. Like I said, mathematics say he should make all 3 49% of the time. I guess a 51% failure rate is technically a majority but :stopitslime: it was basically a coin flip.

The refs do rarely call fouls in that situation, no arguments here. Even Kobe didnt get an end of game call a few weeks ago. The difference is no one is surprised when these calls go in favor of the Lakers. We've all seen Kobe get to the line for a lot less at the end of games.

Do you understand basic math? If he's a 79% shooter and only makes all three 49% of the time, that means the majority of the time he does not make all three. Do you know what the word majority means?

And I'm glad we're in agreement that the refs tend to NOT call the foul there so I guess you can save your Laker hating for a game they actually lose. The extremes some of you are willing to go to is amazing. Lakers lose "LOL they suck" Lakers win "But..but...the refs :sadbron: "

I do understand basic math and I'd be happy to teach you :aicmon: To continue with your overly literal and poorly representative use of the word, passing to Kobe in any situation is a dumb idea because he misses a majority of his shots.

And Im going to hate the Lakers whether they win or lose so go fukk yourself :smile:
