Having the starters on the bench at the end of the game was a great coaching move, and really highlighted the depth and respect the Boston team have for each other. For KG, Pierce and Rondo to be chilling on the bench in the last three minutes when the game is there to be won, without crying and dancing around about it, I loved it.

I don't think the refs, or any particular call had much influence on the overall momentum of the game or final result. I watched the game in its entirety, and noticed a pretty even amount of bad, and missed calls.

Lakers looked flat. The fact that Kobe couldn't give his team any momentum with the back to back three pointers killed them. With Rondo having a tough time offensively, Robinson was key.
Say what you want about Boston's behavior Laker fans, but don't forget you've got Artest on your team. Boston showed heart.
How about that slobbering monster out there . . .

As far as Rasheed goes... he has consistently been a whining, crazy, bastard
I'm banking on him going on some delusional rant in the next game after obviously fouling somebody, so I don't have to see him in game 6.

Noone wants to see a performance like the new 'Rasheed Shoe Shuffle', but the emotion behind it seems to come from a good place. If that wasn't Kobe, do you think it would have been an extra late foul called?

We'll agree to disagree on 'clearly', but I didn't hear the commentary about the whistle not being heard for some reason. The lateness of the call is what had me confused.
It does look like there is contact there. Was it a body call or a hands foul? I think he got the ball pretty damn clean.
Either way, Wallace should not have put on a terrible tantrum like that. I love the guy in the crowd with the Allen jersey telling him to shut the hell up and giving him the 'cool it' arms. Just before Allen himself came and told him to pick the dummy back up!

I don't excuse anything RonRon has done in the past. But since then, the guy has been a model citizen and a competitor. Part of the reason we brought him on this season was for a little bit of that crazy.

I agree about Rasheed though, can't stand that whiny bitch, even when he was with the Blazers.
