I know it's a day after the fact and it doesn't matter now but am I the only one who saw that the foul Mobley made at the end of the third was not even c-l-o-s-e to a shooting foul? I guess it's little things like that which really bring the integrity of Nba officiating in to question.
Mobley was an numbskull for fouling Kobe when they were in the penalty but it should have been a two shot foul without any question! Why didn't the announcers even mention it? Mobley grabbed him, let go, Kobe then took another step with Mobley already past him and then heaved the ball. He didn't even want to shoot the 3.
It didn't matter in the end but it's bogus continuation calls that bring the integrity of the rules into question. I kept rewinding my TIVO and it was a terrible call each time.
