So the Lakers managed to hang on at the end to win the Championship last night, despite what was (in my humble opinion, anyways) absolutely terrible officiating.
I'm not even a Laker fan per se, but against the Celtics I was definitely rooting for LA. It was amazing how many times the officials "missed" blatant moving screens from Boston. Or the number of times they blew a call, like Garnett hacking across Odom's arms and they call it "out of bounds". It's not out of bounds, it's a FOUL.
Just seemed really lopsided, even the announcers had several occasions where they looked at a play in slow-mo and said something like "wow, that sure doesn't look like a blocking foul to me, Kobe had position and it should have been a charge".
Whatevs, I hope the NBA reviews that game closely. For awhile it was looking like there was some pay-off going on there.
