Donaghy's Game 1 Breakdown

[shari91]

"A few things stand out: Kobe is clearly getting different treatment from everyone else. Doc Rivers was all over the officials last night, complaining about Kobe's habit of carrying the ball and about all the calls he was getting that Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce were not. Derek Fisher and Rasheed Wallace are going to cause major problems in the series moving forward and should be watched closely. Wallace is smart and can tell his team isn't getting the same calls as Kobe, and Fisher will keep on flopping and doing the little things to annoy Boston."

His complete breakdown, including videos is here for those interested.

Thanks for the post Shari. Great info here.

Does he make picks?

He did but I think he's either going to wait until after game 2 or not make them at all. Too many degenerates are bugging him for them on there - some of them even from here - and since he's so anti-gambling now you kind of get the sense that he's getting pissed off. He told one guy he's not going to enable his habit

Really Shari?

He is getting some serious heat,,that degenerate thing is just a cop-off,,I told you Shari he wouldn't last in the public eye to long....

Really Shari?

Well that's the way he comes across at least. He works at a gambling addiction treatment centre and is constantly telling people on his site that the best thing to do is stay far away from gambling.

Wow what a deal breaker. would be nice to know who he's got. At least we know he's leaning towards Boston.

[refrain87]

Not really, I think someone asked for his opinion on Lakers in game 1 and to win the series in 6. And he said he liked it.

[wrongturn]

good info. i actually totally agree with his analysis.

[Snowball]

ref crew should be more even handed in Game 2.
DeRosa favors home teams and Crawford is a Stern thug.
Stern was there in the public seats.
let's see what the assignments are for tomorrow before deciding.
