Funny, I saw 3 different groups of NBA analysts go over that and all members of all 3 groups said it was clean. They even showed it in slow motion, all ball. The Lakers had to do a lot of things not just one to get back in this game. The incredible 3 pointer from Smush with that hand in his face. The strip the save and the awesome shot by Kobe. Then there was the tie up by Walton, the tip, the drive and the shot. All the Suns had to do was protect the ball and hit free throws and they couldn't. Hell even Nash didn't say say there was a foul. With the officials taking Kobe out for much of the first half and this being a must win game for Phoenix there is no excuse for them losing this game. This is a Lakers team that is not even supposed to be close to the playoffs and a 2nd seed Suns team that is supposed to be dominating. You should have taked some of my advice in this value betting area you may have been able to clean house.

At this point I have got to say I am more than pleased with what Phil and the Kobe have put together with this team, this season. If it all ended now I would still be very happy. That being said I think everyone (exception maybe goat cheese) can now begin to see the potential this very young team is going to have with more playing time together and a bunch of salary freeing up over the next couple of years. This great Lakers franchise is going to be back up where they should be, at the top of the NBA.

BTW I think Cuban is a great owner too. They are now ranked at 2-1 to sin the West. I never thought I would see the day.
