Game 2: Lakers vs Rockets

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Fuck yall haters,

[angrydude]

Rockets still could have won this game if they hadn't turned the ball over with all these stupid plays in the 4th.

[DrHouse]

Rockets losing their composure.....

[baseline bum]

LMAO @ Yao and Landry fighting each other for the board. Brings back memories of Rodman on the Spurs.

[Spursmania]

Game is pretty much over.

[rayray2k8]

Kobe is shitting on the Rockets now..

[DrHouse]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
kobe bryant

shit all over yao ming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Kobe was boxing out just like any player under the rim would have - and it's been happening all game. Artest leaned at the wrong time and caught it, Kobe wasn't doing it intentionally.


Exactly.


Thank You for being the voice of reason.

[Cry Havoc]

Man you fans are such pussies.

This game is nothing compared to the NBA of the 80's and even early 90's. Both of these teams are fucking soft OK. Get over yourselves.

Why are the 80s exalted as a good example of how to play basketball? You're a pussy if you're such a prick that you need to physically beat another player up to show how good of a basketball player you are.

You're soft if you need to resort to fighting to resolve a game.

[Biggems]

Kevin Harlen is cumming all over himself right now

settle down and call the damn game you kobe nutloving bitch

[Rogue]

Kobitch :lmao

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Flashbacks of the Utah series last year

[Indazone]

Yao got hacked on that play. He came out holding his arm.

[Hemotivo]

that's a travel

[braeden0613]

i hope history remembers how much of douchebag kobe is...regardless of his talent

[Rogue]

:lmao.

Yao Ming is garbage when he gets fronted
you answered you with a hook

[Spursmania]

Well, at least Rockets stole a game and they are proving to be tough to handle. They did what they had to do. Game 3 and 4 should be very good.

[Spurologist]

What a fucking son of a bitch kobe is

[rayray2k8]

Rockets couldnt keep the Lakers in the 80's..
Just can't keep up with them offensively.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Exactly.


Thank You for being the voice of reason.

He is Kobe Bryant, any opportunity to hate him will be taken advantage of.

[Lars]

LOL, things are not gonna turn out good for the Lakers.

[Biggems]

Jordan = class

Kobe = classless

That's one of the many reasons there's no comparison. Hopefully, Stern eventually figures out that Kobe's narcissitic ways are bad for the NBA and quits accommadating him.

when I think of class, Jordan does not come to mind.....he was an egomaniacal asshole.

[baseline bum]

Front Yao all series long. He is fucking useless when you front him.

I remember everyone in the media saying that after the Spurs shut Shaq down in game 1 of 04 with Nesterovic fronting him. Expect Adelman to find a way to get him the ball in game 3.

[Rogue]

Scola fucking sucked tonight.

[DPG21920]

If this turns into a physical series, the Rockets have the advantage.

[angrydude]

Kobe is going to have to score 40 pts every single game for the Lakers to win this series.

What sucks for the rockets is he could do it.

[ulosturedge]

LOL at people overreacting to a Kobe elbow in a box out. Dude is truly hated.

At the end, he go the best of Ron.


Kobe always throws his elbows around. He has done it to Manu on more then one occasion. Who knows how many other times he's taken those cheap shots.

[Cry Havoc]

I hope we see the Lakers minus Kobe and Fish in game 3 for the bullshit we've seen tonight.

[baseline bum]

LOL, things are not gonna turn out good for the Lakers.

How so? Looks pretty good for them tonight.

[Kriz-Maxima]

when i think of class, jordan does not come to mind.....he was an egomaniacal asshole.

+1

[Capt Bringdown]

Commanding Jordan-esque performance by Kobe. He saw the game slipping away in the 2nd and took over. Impressive.

[DrHouse]

The playoffs are all about getting underneath your opponent's skin in whatever way you can. If you aren't doing everything you can to foul without the refs seeing it you simply aren't trying.

The Rockets lost their composure tonight, plain and simple. Ron Ron did what Ron Ron does and got himself ejected. It doesn't matter what Kobe did, Ron should have contained himself and not gotten ejected. That's all on him.

[Indazone]

OH this is gonna be a freaking physical series. See you guys in Houston!!

[nil.ball]

I hope we see the Lakers minus Kobe and Fish in game 3 for the bullshit we've seen tonight.

I hope nobody gets suspended, I want the rockets beat them fair and square.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Ron Artest and Wafer are probably fucking in the showers.

[Banzai]

LOL, things are gonna turn out good for the Lakers.
I agree.

[Rogue]

LMAO @ Brooks 4-13

[sook]

who cares about talking about Jordan? Kobe and jordan dn't belong in the same sentence

[baseline bum]

I hope we see the Lakers minus Kobe and Fish in game 3 for the bullshit we've seen tonight.

That would suck; no way was that elbow even close to warranting anything more than a personal foul.

[Spursmania]

LOL at people overreacting to a Kobe elbow in a box out. Dude is truly hated.

At the end, he go the best of Ron.


Yes, Ron lost his temper and let his team down by being such a loose cannon.This game would have stayed close until the end had he remained cool and stayed in the game.:hat

[Biggems]

the only thing that slowed down Yao was foul trouble

[Ghazi]

The playoffs are all about getting underneath your opponent's skin in whatever way you can. If you aren't doing everything you can to foul without the refs seeing it you simply aren't trying.

The Rockets lost their composure tonight, plain and simple. Ron Ron did what Ron Ron does and got himself ejected. It doesn't matter what Kobe did, Ron should have contained himself and not gotten ejected. That's all on him.

LA made a big time mistake lighting a fuse under Houston. When it comes to toughness, Houston is miles ahead of LA.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I remember everyone in the media saying that after the Spurs shut Shaq down in game 1 of 04 with Nesterovic fronting him. Expect Adelman to find a way to get him the ball in game 3.

*shudder*
boy did they ever come out swinging against that look in game 3
bad memories

[Amarelooms]

How so? Looks pretty good for them tonight.

They coming to H town son...and I'm gonna be there cheering for the Rockets. Texas son...fuck Cali and the Fakers :elephant

[Kriz-Maxima]

Kobe always throws his elbows around. He has done it to Manu on more then one occasion. Who knows how many other times he's taken those cheap shots.

It was a box out and it is the playoffs, you are gonna get hit.

[DrHouse]

Does anyone seriously think Kobe or Fish will get suspended for Game 3?

Are you that stupid?

[Rogue]

LMAO @ yao 3-4 from the floor tonight. :lmao

[Cry Havoc]

when I think of class, Jordan does not come to mind.....he was an egomaniacal asshole.

Jordan didn't need a bunch of extracurricular activity. He let his game do the talking.

[underdawg]

This game was exactly what LAL needed.

Muck this shit up. Get Ron Ron crazy. Get in Scola's head. The Rockets are not clutch and have not been all season. Just fuck with them and watch em fold.

sorry moron - Scola got in the fakers head. Didn't help win the game, but it just shows how vulnerable the fakers are.

[Lars]

How so? Looks pretty good for them tonight.

They may win tonight, they may win the series, but when you play like bitches and start throwing cheap shots, that shit will come around on you.

[dougp]

Jordan = class

Kobe = classless

That's one of the many reasons there's no comparison. Hopefully, Stern eventually figures out that Kobe's narcissitic ways are bad for the NBA and quits accommadating him.

Jordan had no class, on or off the court.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I hope Artest shatters a vital bone in Kobe's body if Houston loses this series.

[ulosturedge]

Btw Rick Adelmans player management was terrible tonight. He keeps coaching like this Rockets are done.

[Rogue]

ron is more deserving of a suspension IMHO

[Cry Havoc]

That would suck; no way was that elbow even close to warranting anything more than a personal foul.

Yeah right. :lol Kobe didn't throw that elbow with any intent. :lmao

[Kriz-Maxima]

Does anyone seriously think Kobe or Fish will get suspended for Game 3?

Are you that stupid?

I hope Fisher gets suspended. Kobe aint gonna and he shouldn't.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

WTF is Lowry trying to rebound over his own Center for?

[iggypop123]

shouldnt that be a T on yao?

[Indazone]

Brooks can bring us back if he starts hitting 3 ptrs.

[Rogue]

LMAO @ scola 5-14

[DrHouse]

:lmao at the Rockets injuring themselves.

No composure

[hhml]

Landry just got Yao's version of the People's Elbow.

[Rogue]

Lmao @ lowry 0-7

[Cry Havoc]

Landry just got Yao's version of the People's Elbow.

:lmao

[Biggems]

When I think of class, these guys come to mind

David Robinson
Joe Dumars
Magic Johnson
James Worthy
Tim Duncan
George Gervin
Hakeem Olajuwon

[baseline bum]

Jordan didn't need a bunch of extracurricular activity. He let his game do the talking.

What!?!?! Jordan talked way more shit than Kobe.

[Indazone]

As much as Landry gets to the line, I wish he hit a higher percentage from the stripe.

[Amarelooms]

ron is more deserving of a suspension IMHO

You are gay and faggot :elephant

[underdawg]

Jordan had no class, on or off the court.

he was in a class of his own, but wtf are you talking about?

[Rogue]

Who knows how many Ts Joey Crawford has called tonight

[Banzai]

[DrHouse]

Spur fan is so pathetic in their hatred of Kobe. Just STFU and enjoy your 1st round exit losers. Stop trying to bandwagon on other teams.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Collins has it bad for Kobe...wtF?? :lmao

[rayray2k8]

Despite all this, The Rockets got 1 on the road.
Lakers shouldn't be satisfied with this win, gut check time for game's 3 and 4.

[hhml]

This is got to be the worst officiating so far in the PO this year.

[Biggems]

Jordan didn't need a bunch of extracurricular activity. He let his game do the talking.

he said Jordan was class........you can be classless without committing cheap fouls.

[IronMexican]

Shit, 57 pages. Glad the Lakers won

[DrHouse]

This is gonna be a fun series.

Phil is gonna have to start making some more adjustments though. The Lakers can't rely on Kobe being this hot for the series.

[baseline bum]

Seriously, the only players I have ever seen talk more trash than Jordan are Bird and Payton.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

he was in a class of his own, but wtf are you talking about?

Jordan had enough class on the court. I don't know what he's talking about. He let his game do most of the talking . Kobe is miles below Jordan when it comes to class on the court.

[DPG21920]

WTF was Wafer thinking? He was getting owned by Sasha then he talks shit to the coach and sent to the locker room.

[rayray2k8]

Love hearing all these insecure Lakers fans talk. :rolleyes

[Rogue]

Rick Adelman should have played Landry more minutes on court.

[Crookshanks]

The Rockets had a chance until the game got so chippy and Artest got ejected. Man - game 3 is going to be good.

Rockets just lost their composure at the end and Kobe was a beast tonight. No one could stop him. But I still hate his arrogant, smirking ass!

[Biggems]

is a flagrant 2 an automatic suspension?

[Rogue]

congrats Lakers

[baseline bum]

That string of forcing 3 straight turnovers in the early fourth decided this game. Huge win for the Lakers.

[Indazone]

Landry not getting about 10-15 more minutes was atroucious coaching. Probably what Von Wafer was getting on Adleman about.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Fuck the Cockets

[DrHouse]

First of all Spur fan, GTFO of this thread. You are 1st round LOSERS and don't belong here.

Rocket fans have nothing to be worried about yet. They got what they needed and still looked strong despite losing by double digits. This series will come down to who wants it more. Both teams are very evenly matched.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Seriously, the only players I have ever seen talk more trash than Jordan are Bird and Payton.

Bird and Jordan trash talking was just for the sport of it. It's way different. You have to have enough charisma to pull off trash talk.

When Larry told certain players about shooting a game winner to his defender "i'm going to shoot it right here...right in your fucking face"

and then say "MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS" the opponents would be annoyed in game then laugh about it after game and it became a permanent memory. Same with the Mailman trash talk of Pippen...

Kobe didn't get the memo for the second part of trash talking. Kobe takes himself too seriously. Same goes with Garnett. They're bunch of wannabe Birds and MJ's.

[DPG21920]

Like I said, Lakers are not built to play a physical series. If it keeps up, Rockets with home court have the advantage.

[underdawg]

Spur fan is so pathetic in their hatred of Kobe. Just STFU and enjoy your 1st round exit losers. Stop trying to bandwagon on other teams.

don't worry about Spurs fans - you should be worrying about why the fakers are so ordinary right now and why they're struggling against a team that on paper shouldn't be giving them so many problems.

fakers = overhyped and once again falling short of expectations

[Rogue]

Aaron Brooks played like Ben Gordon tonight

GTFO off the board you stupid fuck. This place is only here because of Spurs fans, you ungrateful whining fuck.

[DrHouse]

I will say this.

Adelman will have to resort to benching Yao Ming if he wants to win this series. Whenever Yao was on the floor the Lakers aboslutely owned the Rockets because they just fronted him.

Front Yao, Lakers win. Adelman will have to go small to win this series.

[dougp]

he was in a class of his own, but wtf are you talking about?

He was pretty notorious for being a douche off the court - my wife experienced it first hand.

As for on the court, I never liked him and thought that the supporting cast around him never got enough credit. He had as much class as Kobe, LeBroom or CP3 has.

[DPG21920]

:cry:cry

[IronMexican]

Lakers have to go back to Houston and at least steal one. Houston came and accomplished what they were trying to do, steal one on the road.

Larry Bird talked trash because he was a dick.

[Rogue]

We expect T-Mac to return in game 3 and make a change.

[rayray2k8]

I bet if it was Artest who flattened Kobe, Laker fans would be crying like little bitches. :cry
Especially House..

[Indazone]

Lakers are going to have to deal with all that trash talking, cheap shots, flagrant fouls they pulled in this game when they come to Houston. Like I said, see you guys in Houston!

First of all Charles, GTFO out of this forum........this is SpursTalk. Take your purple and gold Dr. House ass to the LakersTalk forum.

If you dont like our opinions, go away. Since this is a Spurs forum, expect mostly Spurs fans to be in here.

Yes we lost in the first round, but we are still basketball fans and enjoy discussing the sport. Thank you for letting it be known that we are getting under your skin.

[La Peace]

The hate is strong here! I love it.

[DrHouse]

Wait so now Jordan had class?

He's a gambling addict, cheated on his wife, punched out Steve Kerr in practice, and was hated by MANY players in the league for his cockiness and arrogance.

You people are fucking stupid. Blinded by Kobe hatred because he fucked the Spurs up so many times.

[rayray2k8]

Overall, it was an intersting night.

Get the FUCK OUT OF SPURSTALK. You're a fucking LAKERS fan, why are you on a SPURS forum?

See what I did? JFC, swallow Kobe's balls more ... I'm cheering for the Lakers, but you make me want to hope both teams magically lose this round.

^ total coaching fuckup right there. He should have played 35 min.

LMAO @ Battier allowing Kobitch to drop 40pts

[Biggems]

I love it!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!!

you are a silly little man....trying to spin it.

Remember, you came to our forum to talk about your team. We didnt go to the Lakers board to discuss the Spurs.

[DPG21920]

You know it is funny when your own fans don't like you. The Lakers fans ignore avoid Dr. House like the swine flu.

[Biggems]

People hate ignorant fucks like you more than the actual Lakers. The Lakers are fine; their fans are front-running shitheads.

[rayray2k8]

Dougp, when you talk like that, you credit what laker fans are saying.
By the way, don't forget where you're comments are going, Laker fans. :rolleyes

Rick rested yao tonight, who only played 26 mins in this game.

Clutch is a steaming pile of shit. Is it always this laggy after a game?

[dougp]

sorry your wife has a "bad experience," but name another example of him being a douche on or off the court.

Go read a few books about the man, there's enough source about what he's like off the court and not in front of cameras. Rude to fans, always picking up women, expecting things.

[Rogue]

Rockets just lost a game they were supposed to lose. As I suggested in the first round, the Rockets should rest Yao in game two and use him defending the following double home games, Rockets have already stolen the Home Court Advantage and that's more than satisfying.

[rayray2k8]

Eh, I still think the Lakers will win the series, but the Rockets made it more interesting.
Plus im only commenting to get my post count up. :lol
House is just humoring me as well.

[Ice009]

BITCH ASS artest...GTFO hurrr..you AINT shit compared to Kobe!!! try to trash talk and steezzz :lol :lmao:lmao

What's with you Laker fans calling Artest a bitch.

The Rockets might not be winning on the court, but shit Artest would fuck Kobe up and all of you guys off the court.

Go and call him a bitch to his face.

[DrHouse]

This was a great game tonight.

[Rogue]

I guess Fisher, Odom, and Ron each get one game suspension.

[DPG21920]

Charles just said it best: "Lakers do not scare the Rockets at all. There are some guys you want to fight, Artest is definitely not one of them".

Like I said, physical series + home court = huge Rocket advantage right now.

[underdawg]

Go read a few books about the man, there's enough source about what he's like off the court and not in front of cameras. Rude to fans, always picking up women, expecting things.

what books and who wrote them?

[Rogue]

This was a great game tonight.
Yeah, not a very pure basketball game though, more like a gang war.

[baseline bum]

What's with you Laker fans calling Artest a bitch.

The Rockets might not be winning on the court, but shit Artest would fuck Kobe up and all of you guys off the court.

Go and call him a bitch to his face.

Once again, Artest couldn't even do shit to that fat kid on the floor in Detroit, and went after the wussiest looking guy in the stands when he ran in them.

[Ice009]

:lmao at the Rockets.

They are still the Rockets. When Ron Ron is on your team you will never be clutch.

You silly fucks. You are going back to Houston for game 3 and 4. The series is tied 1-1. This is the last thing you needed to do, piss Houston off going back to their place.

Are you guys that stupid? You had control of the game before that Fisher BS that started all this.

If you were in Houston and coming back home it might have been a good move, but I thought it was idiotic. Oh well let's see what happens in Houston.

[Biggems]

Jordan punching teammates during practice......Punking rookie Kwame Brown and making him cry like a baby, when he is the one that drafted him.

[underdawg]

This was a great game tonight.

enjoy it - might be the only win the fakers get this series

[DrHouse]

If Yao Ming doesn't score +20ppg the Rockets will not have the offense to win.

Ron Artest, Brooks, Scola....these guys are too inconsistent to rely on every night.

That is just stupid. Artest would literally murder everyone on the Lakers except Mbenga.

Udoka would beat the hell out of everyone.

[DrHouse]

Front Yao Ming......you shut him down.

[ulosturedge]

Has Rick Adelman ever heard of staying with the man with the hot hand? The bench is what got the Rockets back in the game. Even at the opening of the 3rd quarter when Scola was continuing his crappyness and Yao continued to stay invisible Rick still refused to go back to his bench...

[dougp]

what books and who wrote them?

Are we seriously doing this? Use google and find some books regarding what he was like ... Jordan might have been good, but class has nothing to do with it.

[baseline bum]

They may win tonight, they may win the series, but when you play like bitches and start throwing cheap shots, that shit will come around on you.

Weren't you the one lecturing me a couple of weeks ago about how great the 80s and all those cheap-shots were? :lol

So are you saying Kobe would beat the shit out of him?????

[DrHouse]

Ron Artest is not and will never be someone you can rely on in the clutch.

Tonight was a perfect example.

[DPG21920]

I am not saying Kobe should be suspended, but that elbow was much more deliberate than people are acknowledging.

[Rogue]

If Yao Ming doesn't score +20ppg the Rockets will not have the offense to win.

Ron Artest, Brooks, Scola....these guys are too inconsistent to rely on every night.
exactly, that's why Rick rested yao for a game tonight. He only played 26min and just took 4 shots from the field, otherwise the game would be much more debatable. I'm afraid the Rockets will seal the next two games in Houston, with 3-1 it's really not easy for them to get turned around by Lakers.

[rayray2k8]

Well, that was.. Interesting. To say the least, but I'm out.

[baseline bum]

That is just stupid. Artest would literally murder everyone on the Lakers except Mbenga.

Udoka would beat the hell out of everyone.

No way. I remember Artest punking out and walking back scared when Ben Wallace was coming after his ass. Artest is all bark, no bite.

[iggypop123]

Once again, Artest couldn't even do shit to that fat kid on the floor in Detroit, and went after the wussiest looking guy in the stands when he ran in them.

Maybe I wouldn't go that far after Chris Childs punked his ass.

[DPG21920]

Ron Artest is not and will never be someone you can rely on in the clutch.

Tonight was a perfect example.

Is Kobe? I mean, he has lost in the finals. Really, you cannot be considered clutch unless you lead a team to championship.

Kobe has "clutch moments", but on the biggest stage, he has shown you cannot rely on him, he is to erratic.

[angelbelow]

intense game! cant wait for game 3 now.

[DrHouse]

Suspending Fisher means more Shannon Brown and Farmar who are both infinitely better defenders than Fish will play. No problems there for me.

[Ice009]

Ron Artest is not and will never be someone you can rely on in the clutch.

Tonight was a perfect example.

Once again YOU HAVE PISSED OFF HOUSTON AND ALL THEIR FANS and you've got to play the next two games in their place.

I don't get why you are finding all this funny. It's not smart at all what Fisher did.

[DPG21920]

the slashing the neck killed it for artest

Ron did not do a throat slash. They just showed all of it on TNT and he clearly did the he elbowed me in the throat motion.

[underdawg]

Are we seriously doing this? Use google and find some books regarding what he was like ... Jordan might have been good, but class has nothing to do with it.

don't need to google it - you have first hand knowledge so please oblige me

[baseline bum]

Yeah right; you'll whine like a butthurt little bitch about how the poor Lakers are so mistreated by the refs just like after game 1.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Jordan punching teammates during practice......Punking rookie Kwame Brown and making him cry like a baby, when he is the one that drafted him.

He deserved it. The worst first round pick ever. I rather just talk shit to him and make him cry than punching and making him cry.

[hhml]

Lol, Artest is such a funny guy. And I mean it in a good way.

[Crookshanks]

I'm loving the post-game show. Kenny said the Rockets realized Yao wasn't that tough, so they went out and got Pit Bulls to surround him. Kenny said there were 6 pit bulls on that team and they weren't going to back down. And Charles said Ron Artest was not on his list of people he'd want to fight. :lol

[Many PackYao]

:lol I don't even care if the Rockets win or lose. I just wanna see Artest fuck Kobe up.

[Rogue]

Suspending Fisher means more Shannon Brown and Farmar who are both infinitely better defenders than Fish will play. No problems there for me.
But Odom means much more than Fisher does, even if Ron and him both got suspended the bad effect on the Lakers team would still overweight that on the Rockets.

[iggypop123]

Ron did not do a throat slash. They just showed all of it on TNT and he clearly did the he elbowed me in the throat motion.

yeah but thats not what the refs thought

[DPG21920]

yeah but thats not what the refs thought

I was talking about possible suspension.

[Crookshanks]

The interview with Artest was really good. He was very calm, rational and articulate. But he made it clear it was going to be a physical series. Craig asked him point blank if he was going to retaliate against Kobe and he said definitely not.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

A 10 yr old fat kid could kick Artest ass. Artest is just a punk. I don't know why people say you should be scare of him. Please!!!!!!

That's good stuff. I really want Ron to stay cool and under control.

It is tough is someone punks you like that to not retaliate.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Ron will retaliate but (hopefully) in a smart manner. Perhaps adding a little extra to a foul on a Kobe drive or something of sorts.

[Rogue]

If you let Ron hear what you just said, you would clearly know why people are scared of him.

LOL step up to the plate then.

STEP THE FUCK UP TO THE PLATE.

These are some of the stupidest comments I've ever heard from Laker fans.

Maybe Artest is more bark than bite, but I doubt many fans that are calling him out can take him ;).

Grow some fucking balls !!!!

[DrHouse]

Why is Spur fan angrier than Rocket fan tonight?

That's some funny shit right there.

[underdawg]

Grow some fucking balls !!!!

take your own advice, buy a ticket in Houston and go up to Artest and tell him he's a puss. That really takes some balls, but I don't think you'll be happy with the result.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Artest reminds me of Kimbo Slice, every little bitch is scared of him.

Sounds like a good idea. Is closer that going to LA. Ima look for tickets right now

[sook]

we aren't angry b.c we already did what we had to. We didn't even win more than 1 game on the road vs portland. Play better at home is what we need to do

what Spur fan is angry? Do you mean angry like you were after G1? Angry enough to cry like a little girl and blame the refs? Be honest - are you really happy with the win tonight? I doubt you're as confident as you were during the regular season - sucks finding out your team is overhyped huh? The fakers didn't win the game - the Rockets lost composure and ended up giving up the game.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

We know sook. It's the spurs fans that seem more upset than anything.

[Killakobe81]

They are resorting to sending messages and trash talking. I agree. They are very good; they are also very scared.


That was not desperate that was just like Horry's shot on Nash just this was WAYY more legit as a basketball play ...
No one here can talk shit ...
Celtic fans have the McHale play so they could never whine about a hard foul
Heat fans know Posey creamed Hinrich MUCH worse ...

This is the PLAYOFFS!!!! WTF
Stop all the whining ...

Kobe is a competitor point blank, and he takes lot of fouls so he can give a few

But DFISH is a BADDDD ASS!

[underdawg]

Sounds like a good idea. Is closer than going to LA. Ima look for tickets right now

make sure you video that crap - that would be pretty funny. Fat guy gets his chicklets knocked out - that's good stuff

[Killakobe81]

Kobe is not scared of Artest because he does not think artest is crazy Im more afraid for him than he is ...

But lets say Artest slugs him he is done ...after the Detroit fiasco ...

[DPG21920]

The Lakers are clearly scared. All the antics prove it. The Rockets won game one and had a legit chance to win game 2, in LA. LA knows they are on shaky ground, hence the 8th grade tactics.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Calm down underbitch!

I rather hear about this game all day today, than Brett Favre. IMO

[underdawg]

and Kobe knows that, but that said if he truly wasn't scared he would have antagonized Artest some more to get that punch thrown. Kobe won't do that because he knows he doesn't want to get hit. Name one incident that Kobe has been close to fist-a-cuffs. He's all talk and that goes along with his supreme doucheness. And I'm not saying he should try to fight with a player - it shouldn't ever come to that, but if you're gonna continue to try provoke players you should intend to back it up.

my bad - you were the tough guy talking about Artest. I was just trying to accommodate you - underbitch? really?

[Killakobe81]

Lakers concerns:
1. Will Fisher get a suspension?
2. Can the Lakers shaky bench give us something on the road?
3. Can Kobe maintain such a high level of play?
4. Can we keep the tempo high?
5. Can we get something out of Bynum?

Rockets concerns:
1. Can Artest stay calm and cool when the series gets rough?
2. Is Wafer done for this series?
3. Can Houston keep the tempo low?
4. Will Yao stay out of foul trouble?
5. Have you guys tugged on SuperKobe's cape too hard?

Kobe got into it with Reggie Miler and Chris Childs ...know your history ...rookie!

Look if we follow the above logic ...were the Spurs AFRAID of the Suns 3 years ago? Is that why Horry cheap shotted Nash you Laker haters are so ful of ish ...

Bowen fans calling the Lakers dirty ...this was 80's and EARLY 90's playoff ball yall that are bichin are bunch of mangina having wussies. Raja bell did worse to Kobe as well ...

[Killakobe81]

Dont worry all that defense has gotten you so far is HCA in playoffs do that against us for 7 games then i will be impressed

Yeah they had a chance but it was more of what the Lakers stop doing in the second quarter.I'm used to seeing the Lakers taking big leads and eventually giving them up and giving the other team some confidence. It shouldn't have come down to T's and elbows. If the Lakers don't win it this year it's because of guys like FLuke Walton, Sasha Vujabrick, and Whoredan Fartmar. This bench is no where near to being a good bench. They just suck a$$.

[DrHouse]

One thing is clear after tonight.

Spur fans by and large have manginas.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Good thing Kobe didn't drop those 40 points on Artest.

[Imposter Cleaner]

Good thing Kobe didn't drop those 40 points on Artest.
He dropped these points on an injuried defender, and I don't think he will continue dropping that many points in the next games. The 96 drafted Kobe is already old, the future of the league belongs to young players like Kevin Durant and other Thunders.

[E20]

I honestly wonder what is going on in T-Mac's head right now. LOL

[Many PackYao]

The Rockets are a good backup center away from beating these Laker fags. Morey get Shaq on this team! Our half-court offense suits him better than the Suns' does.

[DrHouse]

At the risk of sounding like SD the only reason the Rockets are in this series is because they hit fluke fucking shots left and right.

If there was a statistic for most shots made with less than 1 second on the shot clock they would lead the league. That one play where Yao threw up a blocked shot from behind his head and scored just emphasizes this. They are due for some cold shooting, and when that happens they will lose big.

you actually are SD Jeff, it's not a matter of sounding like only. The Rockets did hit some fluke shots in the first round, but it still sound clueless to consider a 4-2 knock-out a pure fluke. Rockets had total control of the series against the Blazers, even the two loses included.

[Caltex2]

And he can get T'ed.

He's not going to get in Battier's head.

This is exactly what the Lakers don't want. They're going to see a ferocious 12th man in Houston for Game 3.

Which is saying something since we generally have one of the worst home crowds in the league. But as if it wasn't already going to be on and popping because the Lakers themselves were coming, now it'll be hype and Kobe and Fish will get a nice boo (at least) every time they get the ball.

[Caltex2]

Jordan = class

Kobe = classless

That's one of the many reasons there's no comparison. Hopefully, Stern eventually figures out that Kobe's narcissitic ways are bad for the NBA and quits accommadating him.

LOL at Jordan being Class. He was but he certainly had his moment. Generally though, they were with his own team. He was so competitive, he became a B---- sometimes. Ask Steve Kerr and Bill Cartwright.

[cobbler]

Haven't you noticed the Pad on Battier's eyebrow? it's pervious though.

Lol!!! Deadly pain! You're making it seem like he's playing with a torn acl.

I hope Artest won't try to get payback, because we need him on both defense and offense. Kobe may shit his pants before tip off though. :lmao

Game 3 should be a good game in Houston. :toast

Grow some fucking balls !!!!

lol I don't know who should stomp you first. Ron or me.

[Ice009]

Artest reminds me of Kimbo Slice, every little bitch is scared of him.

Who said any of us a scared of Artest?

You're the little bitch basically saying he's a pussy and can take him.

STEP UP TO THE PLATE. Don't be some faggot that talks shit. You're live pretty close. Go and do it. Don't talk about it. Show us how much of a pussy he is.

[Ice009]

Kobe is not scared of Artest because he does not think artest is crazy Im more afraid for him than he is ...

Ron won't slug him.

Ron is going to do his talking on the court by winning the game.

[DrHouse]

Ron Artest did what everyone expected him to do.

Lose control. You people are fucking retarded putting your faith in a sociopath.

[ElNono]

The problem is that Artest didn't lose control. You don't want to be in Kobe's shoes when Artest DOES lose control.
It shouldn't have been more than a T. There was not altercation and players argue and get on each other faces all the time.

But it is what it is. I expect Kobe to get fined, and simply move on.

[DrHouse]

Getting yourself ejected = losing control.

Ron Artest is nuts and Kobe knows exactly how to push his buttons.

When you get yourself thrown out of a playoff game for just talking you are crazy.

Ehhh no. That one is on Joey. I'll be surprised if he even gets fined.
And FWIW, he doesn't get ejected if that happens in Houston.
