In a lengthy post on his 38 Pitches blog, Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling strays from baseball and sinks his teeth into the NBA Finals (he was able to watch Game Two from "ridiculously good" seats at TDBanknorth Garden).

Schilling has flattering things to say about Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, says he's become a fan of Lamar Odom (he obviously enjoyed watching Odom more than Lakers coach Phil Jackson did) and he rips into the officials and Kobe Bryant. Here's a small sampling of his observations about Kobe:

"From the first tip until about 4 minutes left in the game I saw and heard this guy bitch at his teammates. Every TO he came to the bench pissed, and a few of them he went to other guys and yelled about something they weren’t doing, or something they did wrong. No dialog about “hey let’s go, let’s get after it” or whatever. He spent the better part of 3.5 quarters pissed off and ranting at the non-execution or lack of, of his team. ... Let me reiterate that this is from a complete basketball newbie, so for all I know this could be exactly how these guys play this game and interact with each other."
