The officiating was decidedly in favor of the Lakers.

Props to KC's Anthony Peeler. Defending Kobe Bryant as well as anyone ever has. It was funny how he overplayed Kobe's right hand in game two, and made Kobe drive to his left, which he was unable to do.

Last night, he did great denying him the ball and did not even have to make Kobe drive left to pretty much shut him down.

It was terrible to see a series of awful calls that would have decided the game except for the fact that the Wolves showed much more heart.

Peeler was a warrior in the OT, as were the other so-called role players. The T'wolves that finished the game are good basketball players, period.

NBA playoffs is about adjustments. It will be interesting to see how the Lakers adjust to the full court defense. I think the deciding factor for the series will be whether the T'Wolves can continue to shoot a high percentage.

I hope they win, but it sure has been a lot of fun seeing a Kansas City and Mizzou guy play such a big role in an exciting series. Combined with the Royals winning ways, if the Chiefs can pick up some promising players in the draft, being a sports fan is fun right now.
