Line of the Night (12/16): Michael Redd
Normally, I pick a player from a winning team, but tonight I’m going to give the Line of the Night to Michael Redd because the Bucks got royally hosed against the Lakers. There were a series of bad calls down the stretch and in overtime, but the killer was a travel and charge by Kobe that was somehow turned into a three point play. Lakers win, 107-106, in OT. Ridiculous. You’d think the game was in L.A. the way the officiating crew was cowtowing to the Lakers.
Anyway, Redd has been coming off the bench the last few games as he tries to come back from his ACL surgery, and tonight he finally looked like himself. He posted 25 points, seven rebounds and four assists, and hit some big shots in the second half to bring the Bucks back from an eight-point deficit. In a game where Brandon Jennings had an off night, Redd stepped up. If he can get back to being an efficient scorer, the Bucks will have a pretty potent backcourt.

Dudes feet were moving, he was NOT set.
Kobe did travel AFTER the contact. So either it was a charge -then a travel OR a block -then a travel. So the travel is irrelevant.
I think it was a charge but it was close
Bogut was completely set. Take your Laker goggles off for a second and at least try to be objective.
Even if he wasn’t set (which he was), he had position and doesn’t have to be set to draw the charge. Read the rules.
Actually my goggles are tinted gray/black (Spurs baby!)
I was switching games during the night and saw many charge/block calls & non-calls. Ultimately it’s the ref’s call to make but compared to other calls even last night, I say Bogut’s feet was sliding and if the ref reviewed it on a monitor it would have not been overturned.
Again, he doesn’t have to be set (but he was) in order to draw the charge. It’s a common misconception. He definitely had position.
The NBA is a joke. In no other professional sport is a fundamental rule of the game completely ignored like NBA refs do with traveling. In no other professional sport are stars given anything even remotely close to the preferential treatment from officials that stars get in the NBA.
I quit watching for the most part years ago, though I’ll still catch the occasional 4th quarter here and there. I don’t miss it a bit, I’d much rather watch college ball.
The Bucks should have doubled Kobe and made someone else beat them.That was the biggest mistake of the game.All of this whining about a call especially when there was plenty of bogus calls on both sides is pretty hackish.
Gasol had the line of the night. It’s hard to beat 26 points, 22 rebounds,4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks.

Brady.
Look, I see your point, but if you diluted it with tremendous exaggeration.
