It was a frustrating game to watch for many reasons: Boozer's lack of defense chief among them. I was generally upset with the officiating, but the one that bothered me the most came near the end of the game. Kirilenko and Vlad Bullabase (I have no idea how to spell his name) were going for a loose ball. It clearly goes off the Laker player's leg. Instead of immediately going out of bounds it hits the referee and stays in bounds for a few moments and then rolls out of bounds. Only after the ref realizes he hasn't made any kind of determination as to whose ball it is, does he then call a foul on Kirilenko. This literally came about five to eight seconds after the ball went off Vlad's leg. That did it for me. I'm done. He missed the call and made one up.
Sure, you can play better and not put yourself in a position to lose the game because a ref gets it wrong, but enough crap like this erases good play and effort.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
