Milwaukee blew some late chances to put this away so it is on them more than the officials for the final result. Plus, Kobe still had to make a tough shot after he drew contact and sink the free throw plus drill the winner so there was much more than one bad call that went into this victory. Overall it wasn't a great night for the officials, you're right about that. That blocking foul on Bogut wasn't nearly as bad as some of the other blown charge/block calls in the game it just happend to be the most imortant one. Good points Ryan

I’m not saying that call gave the Lakers the win. Milwaukee blew some late chances to put this away so it is on them more than the officials for the final result.

There were literally sequences of 3-5 missed calls in a 1-2 minute span at times, each going against the Lakers. I distinctly remember Ron Artest going for a ball out of bounds and clearly being held from it. The resulting call was merely an out of bounds issue. Then were was the technical foul called on Ron Artest during a freethrow. Replay showed he did absolutely nothing to deserve it aside from his reputation. Refs get calls wrong all the time. Saying that the refs blew this one call and that gave the Lakers the game is silly- the refs blew many calls that favored both teams and ANY of the calls could have changed the outcome.
