<< Forget the refs. >>

Mali King, I respect the fact that you won't use the refs as an excuse for why your team lost. However, I don't particularly like the Kings, so I have no problem saying that there is absolutely no excuse for the last inbounds play, where Kobe leveled Bibby with the ref looking straight at it and not calling anything. Maybe the Lakers defense would gotten a stop and maybe they would have won on their own last second shot or in overtime. But that was the worst instance of officiating I have ever seen.
