The Floating Fix Continues

Isn't it funny how the technical foul orgy has disappeared completely from the playoffs?

Not at all. It has been replaced by an even more subtle fixation. That of obsessing as to whether 3 point shooters are stepping on the line. Let's see what team does that kind of micro-scrutiny distress. Hmmm. Let's see...

Yes, replay after replay is scrutinized to ensure Orlando's points are shaved as often as possible.

Yet, here in game four overtime, Kobe Bryant clocks Jameer Nelson with such force that Nelson is almost knocked unconscious. No flagrant. No call. Furthermore, play continues so that Fisher's three is counted.

Funny isn't it. Play can be stopped for minutes at a time to scrutinize from every angle whether or not someone's foot is on the line, yet a player is writhing on the floor and not one ref has any interest as to why.

Amazing doesn't just happen, it's manufactured.
