Go to 1:06 and then tell me he was in bounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNFsEnI9lFg
I don't know the nba rules that well, but is it legal for kobe to run into Rodriguez like that, sending him staggering back, allowing himself to have such an open look?
I believe it's looked at as incidental contact.
I agree. Plays like that happen all the time during the game and usually aren't called. At first i thought it was a push by Kobe but LA straightened me up. Sergio just made it look worse than it really was so he could draw the foul. Which was a dumb gamble on his part.
Poor defensive execution on the part of the Kings. Oh well.. hopefully we can learn from these tough losses.
Exactly. It's gotta be extremely blatant to get the call there. Sergio shouldn't have gambled, and Kenny should have stepped out. Still frustrated today.
