Boy, is this like the ultimate Knucklehead-Drama Queen Final or what? Fisher, Odom, Vujacic, Artest, Garnett, Pierce, Robinson, Wallace, Big Baby- great players, but geez.
To be fair to Kobe, they started doubling him...he then started passing...and his teammates didn't help him much tonight. Can't do it alone.
I agree, both players should be studied because they flop like they don't have spines. It's just sad to see.
You have to be absolutely kidding me. It's not just the call, which was pitiful given the situation, but the officials 2 second delay (while Kobe/Phil screamed about it) before blowing the whistle. Pitiful.
Artest is having no impact on the game at all though. He's just bricking shots, where at least Ariza was making plays on defense, hitting his shots, and drawing fouls. Artest is just out there, it's more because the Lakers have put Ron in a spot of just being a role player like Shawn Marion. Something he's never done, Lakers should get him involved more. It would at least make Pierce work and get him into foul trouble.
If Boston loses, this going to be Kendrick Perkins fault for the most part. Those free throws could've put the game away, and the last foul on the Lakers was committed by him.
