Kobe "elbow"

[Dex]

at every LA fan.

"That's just how basketball is played."

More delusional than Mavs fans with their 2006 "championship".

When you think about it all these technical fouls and ejections will only hurt the Rockets.

The refs will start calling the game more closely taking away their physical advantage.

[Trainwreck2100]

that's the kind of play that gets you shot in a game of streetball

Wrong. Home court + physical game = Rocket advantage for now.

Or getting staked through the heart....

True, I agree that elbow was a foul on Kobe.

But if you look at Artest before the Kobe elbow, every second of that play was a foul on Artest. Look at the play...Artest starts with two hands on Kobe's head pushing him down. Then switches to a forearm to the neck. All of that is a foul.

1) Refs should have called the foul on Artest
2) Refs should have called a flagrant or a technical on Kobe for the retaliation.

But, it's playoff basketball and overall was a pretty good game.

Agreed.

Damn i love physical games like that. Lakers need these in challenges after last years bull teams they played to make the finals. Bad calls are called for both teams every game. The only problem is that NBA refs are not consistent. They let the game be played physical for one quarter, then call a bunch of bull touch fouls the next. Kind of annoying

[DrHouse]

This is playoff basketball.

Shut the up. Seriously, shut the up you ing pussies.

That's two guys under the basket trying to get position. Nothing more, nothing less. No fouls should have been called, period.

[LakerHater]

watch the clip boys.... whos arm and elbow is on whos shoulder, neck and facial area as the shot goes up? hmmmmmmmmmm

The problem is Kobe is having a hard time blocking out Artest, as you can see by Artest easly moving Kobe in the block, that Artests arms are on Kobe's back!!
Bad call by the Refs, shoulda been a foul on Kobe nothin more!

[benefactor]

Wow...I doze off and the hits the fan.

Ron got overly physical with Kobe and he threw an intentional elbow. Only a homer would think otherwise. I would probably do a double foul or double tech and call it a day. I also can't help but wonder if Kobe was trying to bait Artest due to his history...throwing an elbow that might get a reaction that would get him ejected/suspended.

[DrHouse]

Ron Artest only has himself to blame.

Apparently he got ejected when he said to Kobe,

"I'll get you back for this MF"

He's not very bright.

Never said that.

[DrHouse]

Oh really you were at the game?

That was straight from a fan who was sitting courtside you stupid .

[benefactor]

I do admire Artest for his restraint though. If it would have been me Kobe would have been KTFO.

[wireonfire]

[sook]

Yeah, it's a foul. So why are people acting like he should be suspended?

that in no way calls for a suspension. But the fact is artest got ejected in a winngable game for that

[DPG21920]

Oh really. What was his name? What seats? How much did they cost? What else was said? What did Kobe say? The Refs?

[benefactor]

No one should be suspended for this incident. If they suspend Artest it will be complete BS and borderline rigging of the series.

[RedsLakers24]

Wow look at artest, he had his elbow on Kobes neck which cause kobe to throw that elbow. this is why the foul was call

[YellowFever]

Oh really. What was his name? What seats? How much did they cost? What else was said? What did Kobe say? The Refs?

So if he just made up these answers, would you now the dfference?

1) Edward Johanson.
2) 3C
3) He got the ticket through AT&T as a show of "thankyou for being our customer" so he doesn't know how much it costs.
4)"That's bull , man." "Do that again, you piece of ." "Get off me, ." " you, mother er." "Knock it off, the both you." etc...etc..

See how easy that was?

Um, aren't you like a vagina calling a pussy pink? Stop posting for a while. You're embarrassing yourself.

Exactly, it is just more verbal diarrhea from her. Dr. House can't shut her man pleaser so she just makes things up. Shhhhhhh, girl.

[YellowFever]

Agreed.

Joey Crawford got over excited and what got Ron-Ron tossed was not for his actions but for his reputation.

[Imposter Cleaner]

You guys are pathetic, you are amazed at a criminal elbowing another player on court. Kobe would do something much more serious if it was in streets and alleys.

Well, if you put it that way....
