He looked to get bailed out by the refs too often, only on this night they weren’t going to help him." This is the one of the main reasons i don't have any love for Kobe. He whinged every play and you could see his head was not in the game. He wasn't cool calm and collected like he has been. He was old kobe. Some of those calls that didn't get called were exactly right. How can you expect to get a call when you flay your limbs all over the place looking for a call. nice post

this was spot on

Cavs were too sharp from the outset. big wake-up call for the Lakers. Lebron is still a douche however :) i think you’re forgetting that the extra 3-4 fouls that should have been called for Kobe (getting him another 6-8 points) would have also most likely taken Shaq/Z out of the game. so non-calls can be doubly costly.

It certainly would've been a disappointing game for a lot of people but I agree with you on a lot of points. It's funny how as Mo' Williams goes, so go the Cavaliers. I'm not sure he's the guy I'd want to be relying on though. Might be another ECF walkoff in my opinion. I started the season as a firm believer in another Celtics vs Lakers NBA Finals. I'm yet to really see anything that has changed my mind. Now there's 6-7 games that would not be cringe-worthy! :) Great article Rob.
