nevertheless, this series should stop even any whispers of kobe and jordan on the same level. it's a disgrace to MJ. kobe gets single coverage people. even lebron got doubled/tripled in the semis.
Is definitely affecting the Celtics more than the Lakers as the Celtics are known for their tough, physical defense more than their offense, the way the referees call the game so far basically affecting the way the celtics play their defense. Overall the referees have became the X factor for the series. Game 1, Allen 5 fouls in 15minutes. Game 2, kobe had 5 fouls and the lakers lost. Game 3, in the first quarter, Perkins, Pierce and Rondo had 2 fouls each and lakers built early lead, never looked back and won the game. Doc Rivers complained about the referees. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ba...t=AkTdlpWashC3HExF5cnPtCa8vLYF?urn=nba,246990 It will be interested how the referees call the game in game 4.
Game 3 Lakers never looked back? Did you stop watching after the second quarter? The Celtics had a chance to take the game in the 4th, doesn't help when ray allen goes 0-13/0-8 from the three and rondo gets schooled by fisher down the stretch. Celtics choked yesterdays game away.
Yes the Celtics did climb within 2 points in the fourth quarter but the large lead earlier did make the difference! I didn't say the lakers won because of the referees and stop being so sensitive!

Then what was your previous post implying? So the large lead earlier made the difference, and you stated that large lead was created by the refs. "Hey let me bring up how the refs affect the game, oh wait, that's not why the celtics lost."
So much about single coverage. When Kobe's treated like MJ when fouled he can be MJ. http://i1.hoopchina.com.cn/user/624/3964624/1276138451c7588.jpg http://i1.hoopchina.com.cn/user/624/3964624/1275888553eee62.jpg
I KNEW it! No wonder your analysis is so terrible.. you can't even get the games! And I knew your boy did some kind of Asian tour to globally hype himself up, but trust me, you aren't seeing the whole picture. For every highlight they show of Kobe on ESPN China, there are three or four bricks. LOL @Kobe shooting under 40% in the Finals again!
Given that Pierce couldn't score on freaking Luke Walton in Game 3, I'm starting to wonder how much of it is Artest's defense, to tell the truth.
Mr. Bryant and tonight's referee Greg Willard have a small history together. Lets see how this unfolds tonight [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYPujQiKIzE&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]
LA needs Kobe to show up with some good shooting tonight, something tells me Pierce is going to be ready.
