    So basically, Rafer has been benched for JJ Redick. Funny stuff.

    another call for howard? shocker. nice 3 step travel and blocked cleanly but he gets 2 ft's.

    I thought the 3-step travel Redick had the prior possession was even more blatant.

    Odom is playing outstanding offense, but he keeps falling asleep against Rashard. You'd think he would've learned by now, this Lewis guy has a stroke...

    rashard can't miss, turkoglu is getting crazy rolls, and howard might as well get to call his own fouls. not looking good for the lakers.

    Has anybody ever seen JJ Redick make a bucket in the NBA?

    no call on 3 straight strong takes to the basket for the lakers? another shocker. i guess howard thought there was no contact.


    edit: another no call for gasol, another foul for howard. the hits keep on coming.

    Assuming they don't take him out, he's going to get a look or two down the stretch. Such is the nature of Kobe's gambling/"help" defense.

    bull****. if that's the case neither team should have more than 5 ft's. the lakers have been called for 9 or 10 little blocking type fouls today and yet when they drive strong the standard seems to be an obvious hard foul before they get to the line. it's ridiculous.

    ****ing finally kobe gets an iffy call driving to the basket. 1 down, 9 to go.


    edit: reminiscent of the cleveland series with lebron getting beat at the free throw line by howard. howard 2-2, lebron 0-2. now howard 2-2, kobe 1-2. maybe he actually does make them when they count.

    and turkoglu has been pushing off all night like that. he finally got caught.

    the reason the lakers aren't getting calls is that they're fading on EVERYTHING, even on drives. you don't get calls for screaming your lungs out

    No matter how he plays offensively, howard still defends,rebounds and goes to the hole.
