I highly doubt anyone gives a shit about what happens to Mo "The Orlando Magic can't beat us 4 times in a row" Williams.

[Dunc n Dave]

I highly doubt anyone gives a shit about what happens to Mo "The Orlando Magic can't beat us 4 times in a row" Williams.

Why so butt hurt? Don't worry, they'll fine him, IF they decide to do anything. They won't suspend their West Coast poster boy.

[Culburn369]

Gee, Dunc two days in-a-row. We musta lost.

[Dunc n Dave]

Yeah, and the Spurs lost to an injury depleted team in their last game, but you don't see me hiding out for a week either. Sound familiar?

[Dunc n Dave]

You should be hiding... 15-11

But I'm not. I know they are playing piss poor ball right now. They have the same problem the Lakers have right now... can't beat the real contenders, only the cream puffs.

[monosylab1k]

Collisions happen in basketball, I don't think Kobe was paying attention to where Mo Williams was going, he was trying to get inside for a rebound and Mo walked right in front of him, and that's why he plowed into him. Shoulda been a foul on Kobe but it wasn't a cheap shot. People take harder hits than that all the time in basketball, Mo should just quit being a pussy.

[Dunc n Dave]

And they aren't playing bad, as you would put it. The team just sucks.

You're right the Lakers DO suck. I agree. You're finally coming around.

[tlongII]

I highly doubt anyone gives a shit about what happens to Mo "The Orlando Magic can't beat us 4 times in a row" Williams.

You should care. Mo be kickin that purple & piss ass! :lol

[tlongII]

I'm gonna enjoy watching you slip out of the playoff race. What you see now is like a dying man fighting for his last breath. These current wins mean nothing.

I can't disagree with that. We have way too many injuries to be a serious contender this year. We got heart though.

[DrHouse]

The difference between the Lakers and the Spurs is that the Lakers can actually play significantly better than this.

They are simply going through what all defending champs go through. Championship malaise. It's the reason why there are so few back-to-back winners in the NBA (Spur fan should be intimately familiar with this).

I expect the Lakers to really ratchet things up around February and start rolling come playoff time. These games in December don't mean all that much for a championship team.

[Double-Up]

I can't disagree with that. We have way too many injuries to be a serious contender this year. We got heart though.

Even when everyone was healthy you were never a contender.

[lil_penny]

Even when everyone was healthy you were never a contender.

That was around 4 years or so ago the last time everyone was healthy.

[spurs10]

Not much talk on this thread @ the cheap shot by Kobe...at least everyone watching their tv's saw it....the NBA will just sweep it under the rug...Mo was down for awhile..between that, Jackson's whining @ the refs ( the same one that let Kobe slide on a flagrant 1), and the wonderful fans in L.A.....what's not to love....dirty prevails.

[iggypop123]

its kobe so people will call for a 5 game suspension

[Culburn369]

[Culburn369]

I wanted to save it for posterity, Iggy.

[KidCongo]

What's funny is Mo made Fisher his bitch in the post :lol

[Culburn369]

What even funnier is yer O & 40!

[cobbler]

Mo completely outplayed Fish. No doubt about it.

Anyone who is calling that play on Kobe a cheap shot has never played the game and is a complete and utter pussy or a Kobe hater.

Is this really what it's come to? The Cavs won and deserved to. But they have to send in that tape to the league to complain after their victory? Pathetic!

[Spursfan092120]

its kobe so people will call for a 5 game suspension
it's Kobe so he'll get no punishment.

[cobbler]

it's Kobe so he'll get no punishment.

Another ignorant hater post. Kobe has taken his share of punishment over the years. It's documented... look it up.

[namlook]

it's Kobe so he'll get no punishment.

More like "it was Bruce Bowen so course he'll get no punishment." Bowen never received suspensions for all his cheap shots.

So you should only compain after you lose? Thats just being sore losers. If they feel something untoward happened to one of their players... they have every right to ask questions.

[Culburn369]

And the Spurs know everything about being a bitch.

[Baseline]

Bryant does cheap and dirty stuff all the time, but nothing ever happens to him - he's protected by the League and alway has been.

One of these days he'll stop getting away with everything, and that day will be a great day for America.

[Gutter92]

lol doesnt Phil Jackson get fined once a month for complaining??

[BadOdor]

I've seen Kobe punched in the face, clotheslined, tripped, elbowed, kicked, scratched, you name it, I've seen him catch it, and not once has he ever retaliated against or complained. Yet when Kobe gets physical with these players, they either want to fight, bitch to the refs, or lobby to get him suspended. You all have to be the biggest bunch of pussies on this planet. I guess that comes with being classy.:toast

kobe never once complained about bowen'[s bitch-ass dirty play, unlike pretty much everyone else he guarded....bitch ass spur fan are quick to forget they got the benefit of the dirtiest perimeter defender playing on their team this decade.

[iggypop123]

so did they ask what was the response?

[23LeBronJames23]

Bull Shit

[Culburn369]

so did they ask what was the response?

They asked.

The response was Kobe putting the Magoof Bros on their knees again with 2 three pointers that were just this side of homicide.

[DxB]

Fuck that. This is a sport... this kinda shit happens... eevryone quit being pussy.

Kobe's a fag we all know, but we had Bruce drop kickin niggas left n right so we cant say shit!

Let em play!

[VivaPopovich]

It was a cheap shot but it wasn't that obvious, nothing will happen.

And namlook is right, nothing ever happened to Bruce after all of his blatantly obvious cheap shots which seriously injured players. I love it!

[Bukefal]

I havent seen that before. But damn, this confirms even more that kobe is a shitbag. What an asshole.

[TheNextGen]

youre a dumbass. Kobe always gets suspended for his cheap ass plays.

[LakeShow]

I'm not surprised. After all the Cavs front office is made up of former Spurs. So it doesn't surprise me to see them whining to the league even though they won the game.

[JMarkJohns]

Bull Shit

Mo walked in front. Neither player seemed aware a collision was imminent. It just happened. There wasn't any follow-through... Maybe it was a hell of a strategic acting job from Kobe, but I dislike Kobe as much as anyone and I thought Mo blindly waltzed into traffic.

[hitmanyr2k]

Its called being a bitch.

No, this is called being a bitch. Flailing and crying after just about every damn missed shot and then getting frustrated and giving cheapshots..

The forest represents a balance of life. There is a special order of things that keeps that balance in tact. When some creature acts out of order in the forest, the forest has ways of bringing back the order. So when say a wildcat goes out of his own territory to attack a nearby family of cats to establish dominance, he leaves himself open to the dangers of a territory he's not familiar with. And that roaming wildcat might find himself in the middle of a wild buffalo stampede at the wrong time. And when I say "wildcat" I mean that cat with the wild elbows, Kobe Bryant. And when I say he "goes out of his own territory to attack a nearby family of cats to establish dominance" I mean cheap-shotting players and sometimes his own teammates to prove he's the bigger, more dominant dick. And when I say he might "find himself in the middle of a wild buffalo stampede at the wrong time" I mean he might come to find out that muhfukkas been running trains on his Mexican whore for the last six seasons since his own Colorado buffalo stampede. Karma's a bitch, Mamba.

Don't wanna be startin' somethin'. Mamba se, Mamba sa, Mamba coo sa.

No, this is called being a bitch.

The wins also mean nothing when you go to the finals just to lose to the boston celtics with the best record in the west. You can have the constellation prize of saying you got to the finals, but it doesn't mean shit as well. It's not about how you start son, it's about how you finish.

[WalterSobchak]

Around the 6:45 point of this video is fucking priceless. Ball is bouncing about 2 feet away from Kobe, and instead of taking 1 step forward to retrieve it, he gets pissy and proceeds to yell at the refs to call a non-existent foul.

MVP! MVP! MVP! :lmao

[PM5K]

Kobe looks away so he can pretend he never saw Mo, but it's clear he did and hit him on purpose.

[dbestpro]

I looked at the play with the attitude of being objective. It looked like a cheap shot to me. No one runs up the floor with their eyes closed. Kobe also has a history of committing dirty plays (Nash groin kick) when his team is losing.

[dbestpro]

I've seen Kobe punched in the face, clotheslined, tripped, elbowed, kicked, scratched, you name it, I've seen him catch it, and not once has he ever retaliated against or complained.


.....and that was just from the chick in Colorado.

:lmao What??!!

Now people are just making shit up for the hell of it.

BOWEN is the one with the infamous groin kick on Nash.

KOBE is the one with the groin slap to Nash's face. :lol

I seem to recall Kobe throwing a series of limp-wristed punches at Chris Childs.

[namlook]

The perpetual scrub Chris Childs who was suspended by the Nets for being overweight and out of shape.

Kobe: "Take your best shot. You can't hurt me, punk!"

[Culburn369]

You can see Duncan go for the chip shot and when he realizes that it isn't going in, he falls down and screams like a bitch. :lmao
