Laker fans complaining about officials........... the world has really gone crazy

dont get me wrong, the officials didnt lose the game for LAkers, but my point is that playoff officiating has dramatically changed since the 80's-90's.

prime example of a hard playoff foul that would never exist today:

not even a technical called on this play. McHale was not suspended and played in the next game. As Tommy Heinsohn says "its a strategy by teams in the NBA to not give up layups, make them shoot the free throws...."
