Lakers at Bucks (spoilers inside)
Charge!! - No Brainer. Ref should be sacked. What happened b4 & after is irrelevent. Mistakes need grey areas & none there at all. Disappointing!

Terrible call and highlights what is bad about the NBA.
Bogut could have won the game in regulation, and Ilysaova blew a chance to ice it in OT.


charge! no doubt about it. Kobe got lucky on that one. Didn't see the game but looks like another great effort from the Bucks. They just need to learn to close out better - Celtics did the same thing to them last week.

Absolute disgrace.
The ref did not have the guts to make the call immediately either. He confered and then came up with the block, and notice it was the scorers side ref, the guy with the worst possible view who called it.
Dumb play by Bucks to let him get the match winner off though.Should have
1. made it a lot harder to get inbounds.
2. doubled him when he did get it.
Great crowd, got their money's worth.

No doubt it was a charge. Bogut was outside of the 'dunk circle' and Kobe hit Bogut square on the chest. If thats not a charge, then I don't know what is.
Regardless of that, Kobe was crazy down the stretch, scoring the last 7 points of the game. Even if teams do get close to them the Lakers have the best finisher in the NBA. To me, the Cavs are the only other team with a guy who can be a finisher down the strecth, but Lebron hasn't exactly shown that he is 'clutch' yet.
