Lol @ Artest ejection

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Lol...

Artest was signaling what Kobe did to him, like something to his neck, and Joey Crapford took it as Artest threatening Kobe.

I will admit..that's pretty ed up right there...I do think the neck slashing was bull ..I think he was talking right there...because when he came up to Kobe, he said, "you hit me in my forehead.." then, after the neck slash, he changed it to "he hit me in my throat..." I don't know.

[MmP]

Yeah probably, but I think that the ejection will bring more good than bad to Rockets despite losing this one. He made a point by taking himself out. He forced the replay the play that might have gotten away from officials if he hadn't ranted. Probably Kobe should be suspended. IMO

[monosylab1k]

He hit him in the throat.

Don't be shocked if Artest is suspended a game. He made physical contact with the official when he first started ing about getting elbowed.

Creative thinking..and that could be what Ron Ron was thinking..Kobe won't get suspended though..

man I don't know, I will say that at first it looked like he the neck slash, but after the multiple replays you can see after the foul he's complaining holding his neck, that kobe elbowed his neck, then later he did again, then in front of crawford he did it...and crawford took it as a threat to kobe.


lol. poor ron ron man. his reputation will always precede him.

If Stu suspends him, that will be ed up...I will no longer cheer for the Lakers in this series...I don't care about that certain bag Rocket fan that made me cheer for the Lakers...I will completely change allegiances..just like that...

to be honest i didn't really see a good angle at what kobe did, how bad was the elbow? fine / suspension worthy? well assuming it wasn't kobe...cuz of course he won't be suspended.

[MmP]

If NBA takes the rules like they should he'd be suspended. If the think in the ratings, wel..

really? i didn't see much contact...as in him hitting the official or anything.

It was a direct and purpuse hit. No question that it was intentional. Let's see if the NBA behaves and gives him the suspension he needs.

yeah..I know...that's what sucks..reputation really s with you. I'm just wondering why he told Kobe "you hit me in my forehead.." but after the neck slash he said "he hit me in my throat.." guess I'll have to get a better look at it.

[Spursfan092120]

Let's see what the Inside the NBA crew thinks...maybe they'll mention Kobe maybe getting suspended..that will MAKE Stu look at it.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I dont think they threw Ron because of the neck slashing thing. It was because he went and yelled in his face and then kept ing.

Na man, I'm pretty sure it was the throat gesture.

You see Crawford seperating them, and it looked like he was going to call a Tech on Ron. Then Ron makes the throat gesture and RIGHT AFTER THAT Joey blows his whistle and gestures that Ron Artest is ejected.



I'm pretty sure the throat thing put him over the top.

[MmP]

Creative thinking..and that could be what Ron Ron was thinking..Kobe won't get suspended though..

Yeah, I hope Ron was thinking that. But probably Im just assuming him too much of a brain considering what he has done in the past.

yeah...it was. You can't threaten another player..that's an automatic ejection, and that's what Crawford took it as.

I seriously doubt it, no matter how bad it was.

We'll see...cuz Dwight did get suspended, but he's not Kobe.

he had a right to

lol..could be.

It isn't surprising after you see Joey took Tim's laughing as a crime.

[iggypop123]

ron's reputation and the neck slash= bad combination. given all the T's before that the refs took all precautions

its people trying to get a defensive rebound. it wasnt like this was 20 ft away from the paint like the first incident.

To be honest, I thought the same thing when I saw Ron with that throat thing. I thought he was threating him (not too crazy to think knowing Ron) but then I realized he was just pointing at his throat. But I think it was well ejected rather he was threating Kobe or not. If you let that guy on the floor you don't know what's gonna happen and Stern doesn't want no more epic fights with fans in his NBA custom business.

[Kriz-Maxima]

When I first saw it I also interpreted as a threat. He looked like he had lost it and kept going at it, so him getting thrown out wasn't surprising.

Exactly.
