ygbfkm Jeez.....where do we start with our buddy LABallTalk?
Even Derek Fisher said it was a bad call. He expected no call at all, and was surprised the whistle blew. But this is my favorite part of this blog post:
By the way, I’m not even going to bother mentioning the offensive foul where Baron Davis ran straight through Kobe busting his face open with a cut below his left eye that was bleeding throughout the night. Not only was there not a call against Davis, but the blocking foul went against Kobe… that makes a lot of sense.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that rule. It's not possible to commit a foul if you're the one getting injured. Kobe clearly established position after Baron was in the air. Learn a little basketball if you're going to take the time to write about it.

LABallTalk The point is simple. I agree with you that the last play would've been better as a no call. Thats 100%. In regards to the Baron/Kobe play, I really don't think Kobe was all that late... but suppose he was late, contact above the head is a flagrant foul automatically... it was a strange situation but I appreciate your input. The bottom line is that the game wasn't lost on fouls, but it was an amazing showing of momentum and defense, from both teams. I don't support the call made by the refs at the end simply because I know how hard it is to lose a game based on bad calls, from plenty of experiences already as a fan.
