Do you think the Jazz will have to battle some terrible officiating to get in the playoffs over LA?

Have you been watching their games? I watched both of their recent losses to GS and the Bucks -- they were calling every ticky tack foul and in some cases not even fouls made on Kobe. In both games, Kobe had only three less foul shots than the entire number taken by GS and the Bucks (most of them in the 4th quarter when the refs were doing everything to help the Lakers make a comeback). It was absolutely ridiculous. I didn't see the SAC game but I heard Cousins got hammered late by Howard when taking a three and there was no call. You know he has an agenda, not the refs, I'm talking about Herr Stern, and they're doing his bidding.

I watched the conspiracy theory video in one of the other threads. The way I understood the question is whether or not the refs would be screwing the Jazz over, which I don't think will be the case.
 
There are always going to be questionable calls.

Utah historically fouls a lot inside, especially in the fourth quarter. They can't/won't call them all. Refs typically have to side with calling a foul whenever you "enter a player's space" on jump shooting. You definitely see this more often in the fourth quarter.

I'm not saying it is right. But if all games were called "even handed" then most players would be fouled out in the fourth quarter.
 
I remember that game -- ridiculous. I especially remember the play with Vucajovich kicking it out and AK not touching him and the Gasol push off of Okur. Stern's NBA sucks.
