People (lakers fans) are really gonna try and downplay this, but I watched the game with a handful of Hornets fans who were impartial, and even they were like "Really, that's a foul all of a sudden?"
Fact of the matter is, I had some screwed up, misguided sense of faith in the NBA that once it got to 7, they'd just let the boys play and whoever won would win. And for about 39 minutes, that was the case.
And then they realized LA wasn't gonna comeback if they didn't get freebies at the line.
Don't even get me started on when Boston started to open up the lead in the FIRST quarter, KG picked up his "second foul" about a minute after Gasol did.
Then to give Kobe the MVP? Come on now. I'm gonna pay attention to free agency, but there's a good chance that was the last time I watched any NBA game with any sort of allegiance to any team.
