The Bucks should have reminded Kobe that he has a broken finger with hard fouls all night. Letting a player with a broken finger dump 39 points on you is a disgrace.
48 seconds left in OT, Bucks up by 4 and Kobe gets this and-1 call?� COME ON MAN!

Clearly a charge...........you cant spin into someone with your back and it not be. Oh well.
LOL. Typical bs call by Stern's pitbull crew. Bring back the replacement refs already.
NBA Forum >>>>>>
Looks like a superstar call... nothing new unfortunately.
lol superstar call my ass.
Not even Jordan, Magic, or Bird would have gotten that call back in the day. This type of just goes to show how filthy and corrupted the refs have become.
Bogut was still moving his feet. Not a charge. Refs made the right call.
Not when Kobe plowed into him. Bad call at a regular time in the game and bs call for that point in the game. There are always issues of integrity in the NBA when the Lakers play.
well - at least they needed a game winner/OT to beat the Bucks...
See, this is one of those "judgement calls" that the refs love to use to play god.
The rules are ambigious on charges, but from what I've come to understand is that it doesn't matter whether the defensive player is moving his feet, if the offensive player lowers the shoulder and drives it into the defender, its an offensive foul regardless.
I gauran- ing-tee you if the teams and situations are reversed its called a charge in the lakers' favor.
GUARAN- ING-TEED.
Horrible Call!!!! and the NBA Has The Nerve To say Refs Dont Decide or control Ball Games.... Im tired Of this Superstar Love the NBA Gives!
true - refs always seem to use this type of discretion to benefit certain teams in the playoffs - I look at that and think no call - but if a player flops, in this case Bogut, a lot of times they blow the whistle and then punish a guy for the flop. It seems like many refs are dead set on calling fouls in those situations when no call is probbly more appropriate.
Flop? How do you get a flop out of that? Bryant was out of control and spun right into Bogut's chest.
Except the refs cMe out last year And said feet or body moving has nothing to do with taking a charge, or it being a blocking foul..
TRAVEL!!!
who cares about the charge watch his feet
There can't be a travel if a foul is called first.
Linda Cohen (sp?) on ESPN even said he got away with a travel and an offensive foul. Kobe gets the Jordan calls. Jordan got the Magic calls, and on it goes.
Holy LINDA COHEN SAID IT?!?
Did she address why a kobe and-1 topic is on the main forum of a spurs board that should be celebrating another win over a horrible team?![]()
This. When did NBA teams become such pussies![]()
She did, actually...right after she asked why a Lakers fan is hanging out on a Spurs message board.
Ah, I don't think he was out of control that much - I think Kobe was definitely trying to get into Boguts chest - I've just always understood it to be that late in a game contact has to be blatant - and smalls typically get away with putting their shoulders into big guys chests - especially Kobe. I think Bogut hurt his case by not standing his ground. I kinda saw a travel as well, but that is debatale - two steps were taken after Kobe picked up his dribble and then he jumped to take the shot after the foul.
Not saying it's the right thing, but just how I see it.
Then it can't be a continuation shot if he traveled, which he beyond obviously did. 4 steps, not just three.
Kobe=joke.
