Game 2: Lakers vs Rockets

[rayray2k8]

Well, that was.. Interesting. To say the least, but I'm out.

[baseline bum]

That is just stupid. Artest would literally murder everyone on the Lakers except Mbenga.

Udoka would beat the out of everyone.

No way. I remember Artest punking out and walking back scared when Ben Wallace was coming after his ass. Artest is all bark, no bite.

[iggypop123]

Once again, Artest couldn't even do to that fat kid on the floor in Detroit, and went after the wussiest looking guy in the stands when he ran in them.

the slashing the neck killed it for artest

Ron Artest is not and will never be someone you can rely on in the clutch.

Tonight was a perfect example.

Ron should have chewed a gum in his mouth.

[baseline bum]

So are you saying Kobe would beat the out of him?????

Maybe I wouldn't go that far after Chris Childs punked his ass.

Is Kobe? I mean, he has lost in the finals. Really, you cannot be considered clutch unless you lead a team to championship.

Kobe has "clutch moments", but on the biggest stage, he has shown you cannot rely on him, he is to erratic.

intense game! cant wait for game 3 now.

[DrHouse]

Suspending Fisher means more Shannon Brown and Farmar who are both infinitely better defenders than Fish will play. No problems there for me.

Once again YOU HAVE PISSED OFF HOUSTON AND ALL THEIR FANS and you've got to play the next two games in their place.

I don't get why you are finding all this funny. It's not smart at all what Fisher did.

Ron did not do a throat slash. They just showed all of it on TNT and he clearly did the he elbowed me in the throat motion.

[underdawg]

Are we seriously doing this? Use google and find some books regarding what he was like ... Jordan might have been good, but class has nothing to do with it.

don't need to google it - you have first hand knowledge so please oblige me

Yeah right; you'll whine like a butthurt little about how the poor Lakers are so mistreated by the refs just like after game 1.

fake confidence - you know the fakers need Fisher's experience

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Jordan punching teammates during practice......Punking rookie Kwame Brown and making him cry like a baby, when he is the one that drafted him.

He deserved it. The worst first round pick ever. I rather just talk to him and make him cry than punching and making him cry.

[hhml]

Lol, Artest is such a funny guy. And I mean it in a good way.

[Crookshanks]

I'm loving the post-game show. Kenny said the Rockets realized Yao wasn't that tough, so they went out and got Pit Bulls to surround him. Kenny said there were 6 pit bulls on that team and they weren't going to back down. And Charles said Ron Artest was not on his list of people he'd want to fight.

[Many PackYao]

I don't even care if the Rockets win or lose. I just wanna see Artest Kobe up.

[Rogue]

Suspending Fisher means more Shannon Brown and Farmar who are both infinitely better defenders than Fish will play. No problems there for me.

But Odom means much more than Fisher does, even if Ron and him both got suspended the bad effect on the Lakers team would still overweight that on the Rockets.

yeah but thats not what the refs thought

[DPG21920]

yeah but thats not what the refs thought

I was talking about possible suspension.

[Crookshanks]

The interview with Artest was really good. He was very calm, rational and articulate. But he made it clear it was going to be a physical series. Craig asked him point blank if he was going to retaliate against Kobe and he said definitely not.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

A 10 yr old fat kid could kick Artest ass. Artest is just a punk. I don't know why people say you should be scare of him. Please!!!!!!

That's good stuff. I really want Ron to stay cool and under control.

It is tough is someone punks you like that to not retaliate.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Ron will retaliate but (hopefully) in a smart manner. Perhaps adding a little extra to a foul on a Kobe drive or something of sorts.

If you let Ron hear what you just said, you would clearly know why people are scared of him.
