Not even the extended make-up calls throughout the second half evened the balance in the Lakers' minds. There was an unnecessary foul on Ray Allen, a questionable offensive foul on
Rajon Rondo and
Lamar Odom rode
P.J. Brown out of bounds on a rebound attempt with no call.
Most blatant of all,
Vladimir Radmanovic took so many steps he looked like he was training for the Boston Marathon when he went in for the breakaway dunk that cut the Celtics' lead to four.
The Lakers had their breaks, too, and couldn't capitalize.
that's straight from espn.com
People want to claim the game is rigged, blame the officials, etc. but fact of the matter is, the Lakers bench did not get the job done, AGAIN.
Honestly, from a non-objective point of view, I think the role players of the lakers (SPECIFICALLY Vlad and Vujacic) are a little too comfortable shooting offthe dribble. They both took a number of questionable shots that it seemed made #24 VERY UPSET, especially that one with a few seconds left.
I wouldn't blame Kobe if he went back to the old #8 strategy. Or better yet, the #8 and #16 strategy only.
