Christmas Kicks - Boston Celtics Edition

I knew the Celtics 19 game win streak would eventually come to an end but I was really hoping it wouldn't happen in LA against the arrogant and whiny Lakers.  It was a great game the whole way and I was very surprised the C's were able to stay in it with all of those terrible calls by the refs.  That was some of the worse officiating I have seen in awhile.  It felt like they were trying to hand the game to the Lakers and they did everything in their power to make sure they got the calls.

I am obviously biased because I am a Celtics fan but I was watching the game with some people that aren't basketablal fans and even they thought some of those calls were ridiculous.  I almost want to go back and find all of the terrible calls but I don't have the time.  My favorite call was when Rondo went to the hoop after smoking Odom on the baseline and then jumping for the dunk, getting hit on the arm and body and yet was called for an offensive foul.  WTF??!?!?
There was one bonus to the game as the Celtics were all wearing some special edition Christmas colorway sneakers.  Most of them were pretty ugly but you have to appreciate the Christmas spirit with the green and red colors everywhere.  Here's a look at some of the best:

Kobe Bryant also unveiled his new Nike ID Zoom Kobe IV in a few different colorways on Chirstmas Day.  I thought both the yellow and purple colorways were kind of dookie but the black joints are pretty nice.  I like the shoe as a whole but I would prefer a simpler colorway.  Luckily they are Nike ID so you can go in and create the color you want.  I wish they would do that more often with the new and cool basketball kicks.  They could make so much more money on the Jordan line alone if you were allowed to make your own style.  That would be sick!
