I thought the officials were terrible in the Jazz Lakers game 4.  The worst call coming in the overtime when Boozer took out D. Fisher with a shove freeing up Utah to have a 3 point play as the shot clock ran out.  I thought the officiating was uneven but credit the Jazz for the victory.

Stop whining and blaming the officials sappy.You look stupid.Lakers lost because Kobe was 2-13 in 4th/OT he missed an easy layup with 5 sec left.Also he didn't want to play deffense at the end.

How could they kick Turiaf out for that foul?  Unbelievable.

Kobe could barely walk, let alone play.  I credit the Jazz for a good effort and a great victory.

Lakers fans, is this where the excuse making begins? We all knew it was just a matter of time-aloha

Turiaf's foul was bad because it happened after the whistle. Kobe had many phantom calls go in his favor, as did Gasol. Did they really call a technical on Okur?? Please, that was a joke. If that's a technical, then Kobe and Gasol don't make it out of the 1st quarter of every game.

We saw the old version of Kobe today. Acting like he tore his ACL after he misses a shot, but then perfectly fine after he makes one. Then after he misses another shot, he's suddenly got back spasms. He also didn't play a lick of defense.

The Jazz finally shoot more free throws than the Lakers and it's automatically bad officiating?? Please, you look like a fool.

This is the first game in this series that the Jazz shot more free throws then the Lakers. You weren't complaining about those other games and any questionable calls. How about blaming Kobe Bryant for missing 20 shots, or the fact that when your Lakers went to the foul line, they BRICKED them all. That is why you lost.

How did Turiaf's foul happen after the whistle? The foul was when he went up for the block and his body knocked Price off balance. He didn't hit him in the head and it wasn't unnecessary so he shouldn't have even been ejected. And you don't know what Okur said, unless you read lips, so the technical might have been a good call.

Kobe was legit hurt. He could barely move his back. It looked stiff as hell today. To be that injured and still drop over 30 is amazing in itself. The entire game you could see the same reaction whether he made it or missed it.

The officiating was about what you can expect for the home team. We saw many of the same calls go a different way in LA and that's what I expect to happen in game 5. This may go 7 games but I don't think the Jazz can steal one in LA.

Kobe Bryant was injured thats why he was 2-13.  he could barely drive to the basket tribe.  yes the officials were bad but not the reason why Lakers lost.  the turiaf call was a bad call to throw him out.  but all those missed free throws hurt the lakers.  i dont understand why the lakers didnt go to Derek Fisher in overtime. it seemed like he knocked down 3 3's in less then a minute in the 4th qtr.

Actually the foul was called on the ground before Price drove. They blew the whistle like 3 seconds before that, but apparently nobody heard.... and then Price splitt his head open with Turiaf drove him into the ground..... that play had no effect on the outcome. How about the tech on Okur for "reacting" to a bad call the way Gasol does on every call? The refs are inconsistant.. but that was a flagrent foul. The game was sent to over time by clutch play of Derrick Fisher and Odom... and won by williams, Okur and Kirlienko being clutch in OT.

Oh, and the Jazz have won just as many road playoff games this postseason as the Lakers have.

Well, I thought the officiating was worse in games 1 & 2, in my opinion.
