Obviously Stern directed the refs to single out LMA tonight, since he needed some cover for picking a guy with from an 11-win team to the AS game. Expect more of this treatment, LMA. The white guy wins again!
What a strange last 5 games this has been. We've pretty much been housed in games 1-2-4-5 (Sac, Bos, Den, Ind) In between, we played our best game of the year, and beat the best team in the league by 13 (their 2nd worst loss all year). No coincedence that LA has played probably his 4 worst games since the middle of December, but sandwiched in the middle of that he had the best night of his career! Go figure. Wierd.
The refs are taking the concept of home court advantage to the extreme. The travel call on Rudy near the end of the 3rd was a prime example. What were they looking at? I think the refs heard the crowd call travel, and that was enough to plant the idea in their stupid little heads. It was down right Inception stuff, methinks.
