Damn! I thought the game was over, then it got very interesting and the game turned into a battle. EDIT: OT baby!
Both these teams have major flaws.... and once again, the Lakers blow a huge lead in the second half.
Kobe mouthing to the ref: "UNBELIVEABLE." If Yao mouths that to the ref, the refs toss him (more out of fear/shock... then actual principle).
this is why I argue that the Rockets championship team was so great. See how crappy the Kings supporting crew is during crunch time? Horry/Cassell/Elie/Maxwell would have nailed wide open 3s.
that 4th quarter was like the reverse of the infamous game 6 a few years back. the kings had 14 ft's to the lakers 0 with about 2 minutes left, then kobe gets obviously fouled on his drive with 7 seconds left with no call, then the kings get the dead ball foul which, because it included kobe and bibby, was just the opposite of late in game 6 when kobe elbowed bibby in the face but the refs called the foul on bibby and sent kobe to the line. but in this case, the kings managed to blow it with a shot from radman, crappy ft shooting at the end, and crappy defense to give up a layup.
