I'm having a hard time understranding...

how exactly the NBA and the hacks that it calls referees can possibly justify how Kobe Bryant wasn't fouled on the Lakers final possession against Boston today.  True, Kobe made the jumper, but Ray Allen fouled him no less than 5 times on the play.  The fouls were so clear that nobody would argue that they happened, even before reviewing the play in slow-mo.

It may just be a microcosm of how poor the refereeing is in the league, and I really don't care if my team is a beneficiary of bad calls or not, the game needs to be called better and more consistent to the rules.  If they are going to be so concerned as to review close shots to determine whether they are 2 or 3 points, then the league needs to be just as judicious in the way in which the enforcement of the rules is administered during play.  This includes traveling (which happens far more often than it's called) and these little chip-fouls like Ray Allen made in an attempt to gain advantage.

Heck, maybe I'm just pissed at how awkward the Lakers played and am still not satisfied with the W that we got, but the reffing issue just had to be addressed...

A New Decade

After numerous half-baked attempts to branch into the blogosphere, I think I've come to the conclusion that I really should just stick to a basic op-ed style that can leads toward an informative nature, but pretty much is just a place for me to be me and to put it out there (quite succinct, I know). So here we go; not a re-dedication or a re-focus, just reality.  Cheers to 2010, people!
