Those two fouls were two of the most "bush league" flagrant whacks I've ever seen (including the Ron Artest inexcusable whack of a few games before). I hope they throw the book at both of them! The league must demonstrate that if you're losing badly and you're frustrated, you can't just go out and hammer someone - playoffs or regular season. I'd like to see 10 games and a $100K fine! There could have been a really bad injury, especially the one by Bynum.

The announcers went out of their way to commend the officials and the way they managed and had control of the game.

A sad way to end Phil Jackson's career. Really embarrassing for the league.
