re: Until they can beat, the San Antonio Spurs, in the Western Conference Playoffs

This

i think we both agree the lakers are the beneficiary of calls

necessarily leads to this:

the league makes a conceited effort to make sure we win

if the game is close enough for that to be a factor. It's not all or nothing.

You have to have a game like SA had against LAL in game 6 in 2003, not flirt with disaster like we did in 2008. Because disaster WILL strike in the form of LA getting a crucial call, more often than not.

I'm not being paranoid or mad. While it sucks to come out on the short end of the stick to y'all in a situation like that, it does make it that much sweeter to beat y'all, because it usually proves that your team was far and away better than the Lakers.

ETA: And on the flipside, I'm also not saying that y'all always need help, don't misunderstand me. No one was touching y'all in 2001, for example.
