Overt, intentional, and directed very high at Artest to make contact with the upper body.

Why did you put " " around it?
peopel trying to get a rebound. this wasnt outside the paint where it can be intentional
bull dude.
Nice initial elbow by Ron....still Kobe did swing and if he really connected it would have hurt Ron a lot worse. It just hurt his feelings and Ron is very sensitive, hence getting tossed for pleading his case.![]()
i dunno, artest has all the strength in this one until kobe gets away by kind of swinging the elbow.
he won't get suspended for this, but it does look like something was going on in this.
LMAO @ Lakers fans who try to justify all their teams pussy moves, well, get ready for game 3 es......ALL OUT WAR!
Alot of haterade slurping going on. Nothing wrong with that play. Give him a personal foul if you wish, but nothing more than that.
except how can you call a foul on Artest? if the refs saw ANY fouls commited by Artest then they MUST be able to see Kobe throwing the elbow. this is just so rediculous that im not even mad at it anymore because every rockets fan knows we are not heading home 2 - 0. Stern will make sure this thing stays compe ive![]()
looked like a personal foul to me. MAYBE a tech since the game was getting a little teste but not really a big deal.
wouldnt have made a difference. def not a foul on artest but the lakers had this game in control.
holy cow..this board is full of vagina's lately
the problem I got
is why did ron get called for the foul not kobe?
every heard of a run?
Kobe is a classless jerk.
That was a dirty play, I hope someone undercuts him next game and flips him on his head....
DD
Even Kenny and Chuck say that's just a foul.
And look at Artest's elbow to Kobe's neck before he got his...that's not a clean play either. Play rough, then accept the roughness.

This from the guy with the avatar of an idiot who goes in the stands and pounds on fans.
It's playoff basketball... Man up or go home pussy.
Kobe definitely threw an intentional elbow. Looks more around the chest than the throat, but either way it doesn't appear above the shoulders. I'd call it intentional and dirty, but not something Kobe should get suspended for. I agree that stuff like that happens sometimes in box out situations. Probably not regularly, but it's not that rare. Definitely a foul on Kobe and not a foul on Ron.
relax man
He was all over kobes back. He went over the top of a box out. Did you not see the elbow to kobes back that preceded kobes elbow? Its boxing out and fighting for a rebound. Its the playoffs!
Upon further review...the elbow was put into Ron's chest not throat. I would throw Ron out for the next game for fibbing to the refs....
Yea but they also said what artest did was good. All he deserved was a T. No one is doubting that, ironically the foul was o n artest.
