The Lakers have guys that take it to the rim and draw fouls like Kobe, Howard, Gasol.

Gasoft is lanky, slow and plays on the high post. Fouling him makes zero sense.
BTW, Mister Jump Shooting Team; that's precisely what Kobe is. He got 16 FTAs by himself.
Howard is the one guy who will naturally get 10 FTAs plus and that is partly b/c teams are especially eager to foul him around the rim.

The Lakers are 13th in the league in points in the paint, GS is 26th. Nuff said.
Umm no! GS is a jumpshooting team. The Lakers have guys that take it to the rim and draw fouls like Kobe, Howard, Gasol. If the refs wanted the Lakers to win they wouldn't have called 5 ticky tack fouls on Dwight Howard.
Ticky tack my ass. Dwight is always hacking.
And the apologists always give excuses as for why the big market teams happen to get more free throws. I could break it down; but the reality is only a truly superior team is going to get an overwhelming free throw advantage in most cases. And GS may be smaller, but they're quicker and can arguably draw more fouls. That's why that jump shooting BS doesn't fly with me. NBA knows what they're doing.
How come the knicks average less ft attempts than their opponents?

B/C as much as the league generally loves the Knicks; the league's bigger investment in the east is the Heat.

Then how come they're only 12th in the league in FTA?

That's pretty good when you consider that the Heat have no front line; don't ya think?

How come the lakers are second in the league in fouls committed?

Are you seriously arguing this stuff or are you playing devil's advocate? This is patently obvious stuff. I've came across more than enough Laker fans that have admitted it. Hell, Artest admitted that that's the reality.

All the facts are contrary to your claims. The NBA is not rigged. Sure, superstars often get the benefit of the doubt on a lot of calls, and I don't condone or agree with that, but there is no league sponsored conspiracy to have any team win.
Why did the league prevent the Lakers from getting Chris Paul?

Why did the league prevent the Lakers from getting Chris Paul?
1. The league was still trying to sell the Hornets and Paul for Odom wasn't going to help that.
2. Everyone and there dog in the media was talking about that trade being a sham. It would have reflected poorly upon the league and made it especially blatantly obvious that the league favors the Lakers when they're only going for blatantly obvious.
Seems like you've already asked this and had me answer this. Am I going to have to say the same thing 3 months from now or will you just be accepting my answer even if agree to disagree?

Fair enough. I agree with number 1, although they were getting more than just Odom. To me that's more proof against the theory that Stern will cheat the rest of the teams in favor of the Lakers.

You realize that the saying, 'follow the money' is not just a saying?

The one thing the league can't afford to do is compromise the integrity of the league. The stakes are already too high. Does Stern want a Knicks Lakers finals? Sure he does, but he's smart enough to know he has no control over that. Look at what baseball went through after the black sox scandal.
