The following is a breakdown of Game 1 of the NBA Finals Series according to Tim Donaghy (the former NBA referee who spent 11 months in prison for relaying inside info to gamblers). Thanks to Deadspin these are his observations.
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.
