Check It, You Know Who I Be...

Kobe hit another tell-me-how-my-ass-taste shot. That makes four game-winners this year. With 0:07 left, Kobe hit a tough, fall-away jumper in Ray Allen's face to take a one point lead.

The other three game-winners were buzzer-beaters. Miami, Milwaukee and Sacramento have gotten the ass face this year. Add the Boston to the list.

The Lakers were able to comeback on the Celtics in Boston to get an important win. Ray Allen got a good look at a three to win but couldn't connect.

Not the best game from either team, but Boston should have been able to put the game away. They'll continue to struggle unless KG and PP are able to turn back the clock a few years. Glen Davis, Sheed and Perkins are good at shoving people and getting pissed, but that won't get it done. Rondo is best guy they've got by a long shot.

My Beef: With about 1:20 left and LA leading by one, Perkins tipped a rebound that hit a camera attached to the back of the backboard. He gained possession, and called time-out. It should have been ruled out of bounds.

Phil made a stink about it to no avail. Of course ABC knew about it. They showed everyone the ball hitting the camera that doesn't need to be there.

Van Gundy: "How about ABC playing a major role in this game?"
Breen: "As always, our crew doing an outstanding job."

How were they doing an outstanding job, Breen? ABC doesn't need a camera jutting out there. If they were doing an outstanding job, the camera would be set up of top of the backboard, out of the way. And of course, the refs should have seen it.

Despite that mishap, ABC's NBA coverage on Sunday afternoon is great. I seamlessly transition to the NBA from the NFL without skipping a beat. Van Gundy and Hubie Brown are as good as it gets, in terms of color commentary.
