I tend to believe he didnt care about Yao's knee when he bumped into it.

huh? when did i mention yao anywhere, that knee-bump was an accident, the play with battier clearly wasn't ...

Wow Rockets-Lakers what a dirty game!

^^

only one team played dirty

[ommy48]

dirty ass lakers, kobe gets away with blatant dirty play, and if fisher isn't suspended for his cheap shot then i know that this series is fixed....

Fisher shouldnt be suspended if Rondo didnt get suspended for much worst in the 1st round. I feel as if the ejection was enough punishment for Fisher's actions.

Kobe got away with the elbow, yes, but Kobe said it best himself "if they play rough, they have to be prepared to take it"

So you guys are trying to tell me that Artest has never thrown an elbow??

Its a playoff game, emotions are high, the game is physical, elbows happen all the time. Gasol and Yao were elbowing each other the whole game. It doesnt justify one player attacking another. It happens.

homerism at its best, laker fans seem to have blinders on when it comes to dirty play by their own players..."tough"=bush league in laker land and boxing out is equivalent to an elbow in the neck....especially after Kobe had another blatant elbow on battier in the game before and got away with it....Kobe is showing his lack of class and fisher with his premeditated shot against scola will be suspended for sure in game 3 if David stern wants to retain any sense of justice and fair-play in the NBA.

Well, see for yourself



Artest has his elbow on Kobe's head at the start....he's initiating the contact while Kobe is trying to boxing him out....you don't think that's going to get a response?

It's the playoffs.

i'm sorry but you really don't know anything about basketball whatsoever if you think physical play such as boxing out (which is what both players were doing in the clip up until the kobe elbow) is equivalent to someone ****ing a deliberate elbow at another player in the throat...the fact that you continue to argue this point is beyond shameless and absurd...kobe in the clip, with ron on his back, ****s back his elbow and hits him with a quick vicious shot that had nothing to do with rebounding the ball....if the reverse had happened and kobe was on the receiving end of an elbow he would have exploded at the refs and laker fans would be calling for ron artest to be suspended for the rest of the series...stop being biased and call a spade a spade for god's sake....i'm not even a rockets fan...my hometown team is the bulls and rondo got away with the same blatant type of cheap shot against hinrich and miller, but that doesn't change the fact that kobe is getting away with the same crap two games in a row.

by the way i don't know why the word i am using is being ** because it is now a swear word, and is merely a commonly used descriptive term to describe kobe's action against artest: "c ocking" an elbow is not an inappropriate term...

[KasraKhan]

Ya man, youre right. I dont know anything about basketball.

Do you have eyes?? Look at the clip. 2 seconds into the clip Artest has his elbow on Kobe's shoulder/face. Elbowing is boxing out?

Artest is one of the dirtiest players of the era. And you're defending him. We are talking about the guy who went into the stands some years ago and punched 2-3 fans in the face. He is forearming Kobe in the face first, Kobe retaliates, and you call Kobe dirty. You must be the only person in the world who says Kobe is dirty and not Ron.


Thats why I dont post on the boards often, no hosseleh to deal with people like you. Somebody who labels " you must know nothing about basketball" after reading 1 of my posts.

Ya man, I know nothing about basketball, only you do. You're the God of basketball knowledge
