It's official.. BELL suspended

[mavsfan1000]

It was stupid but I enjoyed seeing Kobe getting taken down.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

The more you think about it, it might have been the single most stupid play of the year.

So far maybe, but Rasheed might be called upon to defend Robert Horry again.

[1Parker1]

I don't get it, why would Bell point the Lakers bench afterwards and say...that's your foul?

One can only hope...

Am I the only one who actually WANTS to see a WCF between the Spurs and Lakers?!?

For one thing, all the games would be broadcast on ABC, which is all I get at my place. Also, the Spurs would utterly annihilate the Lakers, and no matter how many I times I watch the 2003 Championship DVD, I just can't get enough of Kobe crying his eyes out as his season comes to an end. Finally, it would make Kobe 3-3 lifetime against the Spurs in the playoffs, and all these evil Lakers fans would feel the same way we felt in 01, 02, and 04.

Go Lakers!

I'm not concerned about Kobe...but, do you really want to go up against PHIL JACKSON??

[boutons_]

"broadcast on ABC"

I thought ABC only had Sunday playoff games and the Finals, while TNT and ESPN had everything else?

[ALVAREZ6]

I would take sides with Kobe, Raja Bell is an absolute .

I hope the Lakers win the next game.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If he kept getting hit in the face like he said he did, then I wish he would have hurt Kobe more.

[Winnipeg_Spur]

I don't get it, why would Bell point the Lakers bench afterwards and say...that's your foul?

Apparently Bell said that when he complained to an official in the fourth quarter about Bryant's wayward elbows, Jackson told him, "You (expletive-deleted) deserved it." So I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

If Phil somehow infuriated Bell enough to get him suspended that just adds to what a great job he's done this year.

[mavsfan1000]

Phil Jackass=biggest asshole ever. I ing hate the lakers.

[baseline bum]

Why doesn't anyone else remember that elbow Bell threw at TP in the 2003 WCF? That guy's dirtier than Artest and Bowen combined.

[T Park]

I remember Bell's dirty moves.

With Dallas, with Utah, with Philadelphia.

Good player, but a dirty Mofo.


Hes always been horrible.

[missmyzte]

Wow, that's the funniest thing I've seen Kobe say. Here's a little transcript for anyone that missed it ---

Raja Bell:
"Honestly? He hit me in the face, then he came down and tried to bully me a couple times on the play. I went over the referee, Greg Willard, and asked him what happened, and Phil Jackson said 'I effing deserved it.' And then I said 'what?' and he said, 'You effing deserve it.' "

Kobe:
"I don't think anyone expects to get clotheslined during a basketball game. But it was still fun."

Raja Bell:
"It's a personal thing when someone continually hits you in the face. That's the only way I can put it. I've been playing as hard as I can play, been trying to do a good job, I've been trying to be what my team needs me to be, and I continually get hit in my face."

Kobe:
"Oh come on, I retaliate and what, miss a game? For this guy?" (shakes his head)

Raja Bell:
"There doesn't seen to be any boundaries or limitations for what he's allowed to do to me, and at that point I kinda lost my cool and I took it into my own hands."

Kobe:
"Does he know me? Do I know this guy? I don't know this guy. I might have said one word to this guy. I don't know this kid. I think he overreacts to stuff. I don't know him, I don't think about him. We go out there and we play, we play during the season, we play each other. That's it. I don't know this kid. I don't need to know this kid. I don't want to. We go out there and play the game and leave it at that. Maybe he wasn't hugged enough as a kid, I look at him a little bit and he gets a little insecure about something. I don't know."

It was stupid but I enjoyed seeing Kobe getting taken down.

yeah baby!!!!!!!

[T Park]

Yeah, before the series started John Ireland from LA on Extra Sports 1090, said that Bell was saying "He doesn't respect me as a man, you can not respect me as a player, but you respect me as a man"

The cookoo alarm is going off on this stooge.

Apparently Bell said that when he complained to an official in the fourth quarter about Bryant's wayward elbows, Jackson told him, "You (expletive-deleted) deserved it." So I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

You seem to have missed some letters. Let me translate.

Bell on what phil said: You ing deserved it. You ing deserved it.
