Jeezus, when it comes to whiners, Bryant makes Peyton Manning look like an amateur...and he's pleading with refs like a drama queen after every call. I can see why people who watch basketball don't like him over and above his extra curriculars...
They're still playing like crap, they're getting abused by the refs, and yet - if they had made half the shots they missed in the first quarter this would be a tight game.
Walberg also said the other night that the lighting at Staples is bizarre - almost stage show like - and he thinks it effects visitors shooting perception/percentages. Having to adapt to road lighting might also explain why LA was having such trouble shooting here for the first game and a half.
Ooh, I like it - Stearn addressing Officialgate actually looks nervous. And he should.
