Agreed totally. It's undeniable that Kobe's constant whining and working of the officials ultimately intimidates them into making those type of calls or non-calls (depending upon the situation). All the same though, i'm glad they just let them play in that instance.
Can't agree less. when Rafer crazily clanked again and again in cluth time, Jameer is the last ace in the hole for SVG.
See how the offense for the Magic get's slow & stagnate when Rafer's out of the game...Jameer Nelson should be no where near the court...Johnson was playing better then him..
Pietrus has been balling but he's a is a very non-creative fast breaker. He never passes even when he has numbers, and does the same strong to the rim scoop layup.
Atleast Magic were getting looks..right now Magic aren't getting anything...what?....so it was Rafer's fault Ariza went off in the 3rd...you can't blame everything on Rafer..I think he was guarding Fisher anyway
