In regards to Game 2 of the 2008 NBA Finals:
"The Celtics were being aggressive and taken it to the hoop (especially Powe) where the Lakers were taking outside jumpers. You don't get those calls when you shoot outside. I think the actual number of foul calls was 28 BOS to 21 LA and 2 of those were when LA purposefully fouled at the end so that's not much of a diff. It just happened that the sorry LA Defense fouled the Celts when they were in the act of shooting. Besides I seem to recall quite a bit of foul shooting discrepancies when the Celts were playing against Atlanta and Cleveland. Those 2 teams made it to the line tons more then the C's. But of course, they were being the aggressors and taken to the rim where the Celts were settling for outside jumpers.
Jackson is the master at whining about fouls and getting the refs to listen. There's no doubt in my mind that Kobe is going to get a ton of calls in Game 3. However, if the Lakers don't start playing D, this things going to be over really soon."
