It is amazing the lack of respect that Howard gets from the officials. He gets pounded on all game and can't get a call and then gets called a couple times for loose ball fouls while going for a rebound. I guess NBA refs have determined he's not at that star level where he gets the respect of getting the calls.
Classic Kobe moment at the end of regulation. I said to my friend "so the smart move would be for Kobe to drive and kick but he's Kobe so he'll never do it like Jordan would of". Sure enough Kobe drives and four guys collapse on him. He has three wide open teammates at this point and Pau Gasol covered by Courtney Lee. But of course Kobe still tries to play hero all by himself and Hedo has a perfect block from behind. Then he almost got toasted by Lee for the winning layup on the ensuing possession.

That was one hell of a moving pick to get Lee free to the hoop it looked like. Beautifully drawn up play, just not executed by Lee. They'll be smarting over that one for a while.
