well, lipstick, Denver is going to have to deal w/ the Lakers very soon so I hope you're prepared. :smt006
Kobe Bryant first team All-NBA defense over Dwyane Wade (who was 3rd in Defensive Player of the year voting)? Kevin Garnett (who has missed half the season) first team All-NBA defense over Tim Duncan? I love KG, but c'mon, his selection over TD as well as Kobe's over Wade's are an absolute joke. The NBA is losing credibility with stuff like this.
LA sure does love to blow leads. Seriously, I can't even say the Kings blow leads when arguing with Kings fans anymore, because LA does this shit the whole damn game. At least the Kings waited until the 4th quarter to suck ass back in the day.
I had a feeling the Rockets were going to come back, because like you say, the Lakers have been letting teams back in all year. Wow, the Lakers are in SERIOUS trouble if they lose this game man. SERIOUS.
What a game. This series is getting heated. I can't wait to see what happens with Fisher. That was a wicked hit. Definitely think he's getting suspended.
And then you have Rafer Alston slapping Eddie House in the back of the head, Kobe throwing bows, etc.... Man, you gotta love the game of basketball.:smt028
The Kobe vs. Artest incident brought back memories of this: Sorry guys, i just couldn't resist. Kobe is a dirty player, and at least Chris Childs stood up to him and gave him what he deserves.
Kobe, a dirty player? Lakers just get physical, but not dirty. Damn, that incident was YEARS ago. Ha. Damn, hella long.
Honestly Ajax, i didn't know Kobe was a dirty player until this series started. Look at what he does to Battier. People say it wasn't intentional, but you can clearly see that Kobe went at him with the elbow to the back of the head as he was trying to get up. That was definitely dirty: And then today, you have a clear elbow to Artest' throat. This stuff is not incidental, but intentional. Kobe didn't even deny it when he was asked about it after the game.
Not only Kobe, but Derrick Fisher? What has gotten into the Lakers? Fisher absolutely leveled Scola. If he doesn't get suspended for this hit i'll be surprised.
1st and foremost, where do you find these gif.s of the nba games? 2nd, artest was putting his knee up kobe's ass and trying to shove him under the basket, he was just as aggressive about the situation. especially his attitude afterwards.
No doubt. Artest fouled Kobe on the play. But was it necessary for Kobe to throw an elbow at the man? What about the play on Battier? Was it necessary for him to do that? Oh, about the gifs....i'm a member of a bunch of NBA forums. The posters usually put up the gifs immediately after games.:smt023
Well, I'm not going to defend Kobe's behavior but I know this series is going to be physical all-around. I just want to see the Lakers play at their potential and take it to the Finals. They don't usually play this dirty/physical but Houston has a bunch of 'pitbulls'(as charles barkley called it.. or was is k.smith?; anyhow). By the way, what are some good NBA forums?
