Bad calls were plenty, on both ends. But one thing I have to say, if Dennis Rodman was officiated the same way as they are doing on Howard, Rodman would have been the most dominant center, if he could camp in the restrict area for 10 seconds at both ends, shifting feet to gather himself, hacking and elbowing before every move then getting sent to the FT line, on top of his incredible rebounding ability.
The 2 years of non-stop playing has put a huge wear on Kobe. He's just a tough SOB. But he should have trusted his teammates more, especially get Gasol more involved in the offense, to put more pressure on Magic's interior defense.
Overall a very exciting game.
