The Christmas Day game between the Cavaliers and Lakers lacked a certain loving spirit, from the players grousing to the refs about foul calls on down to the L.A. fans tossing foam fingers at the visiting victors. This extended into actual play, with a fairly chippy effort from the two elite clubs.Perhaps no play demonstrated the frosty feelings more than a big third quarter collision between Kobe Bryant and Mo Williams. The Lakers were down 61-48, looking utterly lackluster. Kobe was stopped on a baseline turnaround by Shaquille O'Neal, with Williams having been in the area. There may very have been a foul on the play, but no whistle came, and the Cavs swooped onto offense with Kobe laying down, pleading his case.
Kobe does get up in time to get involved in the play. But his entrance is more like a football play than anything we should find in basketball.
No call on the play, and minimal discussion of the collision during the telecast. And in fact, the Cavaliers didn't even go on the "Dirty hit!" offensive after the game (at least not on the record). But the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Brian Windhorst did get Cavs officials to tell him they'd likely ask the league to review the play.
You have eyes, and you don't need me to tell you whether that play is dirty or not. I think there's plenty of damning evidence, but Stu Jackson is the adjudicator here. That Kobe can be a real brat when frustrated wouldn't be news to this observer, nor should it be to you.
