People really need to watch the way the Knicks played in the 90's, and Pistons in the 80's.
Nothing dirty, just good, intense, playoff basketball.

I'll just say this:
There are very few humans that I can just kick in the head with no remorse. Kobe Bryant is one of them.
He's one of those people I can't stand.
You know when you were younger in school there was that kid who was an absolute square, but had a unique talent? And he felt like that talent compensated for his square-status.
That's how I view this piece of %+@$. I cannot stand this mother +@!@@$.
Seriously now. If we judged bball players by what they only do on the court and not off the court, there will be totally different perceptionsOriginally Posted by nicedudewithnicedreams

This is how I feel about Kobe and the persona, but this does not effect my basketball opinions, the fact that Kobe is the best player on the planet. He
just
happens to also be the biggest douche on the planet.
Because he knows he is the best at what he does? Because he will tell a player he can't guard him? That the face guarding doesn't work? Because of
his
personal life being made public? If you had skills like that I guarauntee you that you would be boasting about it. I mean nobody can guard him 1 on 1. His
personal life is his personal life, how does that affect you? Get over it dude, worry about yourself, I bet Kobe doesn't lose one ounce of sleep
because he
is up thinking about how you don't like him.

on players like ron artest, starbury, etc. We, fans, hear stories like how artest is from queensbridge and how he grew up in the hood and everything. With
that, we stereotypically assume he is a straight ghetto dude or whatvr. Same with other players that came from real grimey areas. Now back to Kobe. Kobe grew
up in Italy and played in Philly too. He was from the suburbs. And once again, stereotypically, we expect suburbanites to play with less "swagger"
in their game and etc. But what we see from Kobe is quite the opposite. I don't even need bring up his personal life. Kobe can be cocky all he want but
he didn't grow up in that kind of environment that suggests he would be like that. It is a stereotype but at the same time, we, the public have made it a
stereotype. If Yao Ming started talking trash like Kobe... Fans would be clownin him too. But Yao Ming doesn't. He plays his part in the stereotype of
Asians. Not saying you have to stay within your stereotype, but come on, there will be hate and there will be dislike when you try to change or be different.
Especially, when you try to hard to be something you are not. Word to Kobe Bryant feat. Tyra Banks - K.O.B.E. And besides, Kobe is and was never an underdog
in life. I don't hate on people that have been well off ever since birth, but people need to play their part and be respectful too.
Also, Ron says "im ron artest, the wrong guy to hit" I got news for you pal, Kobe trains with Bruce Lee's old trainer, and this aint no self defense class, its a attack first fighting style so if Ron wants to go im sure Kobe can give him teh touch of death and end all you Rockets fans off after him.
I cannot get over this. "I got news for you pal"... Jeebus.
Rondo's play was reviewed after the game, lost causeOriginally Posted by baby dill
We got Kobe homers in here saying Ron don't want NOTHING with Kobe....
You're justifying MISSED calls by refs (e.g. Rondo decapitating BMiller to save the game) as the reason there should be no call/suspension on Fisher? You sir, are a lost cause.

That was the dumbest thing I have ever read
yea definitely was one of the stupidest things ive heard in a long time. you contradicted yourself so many times (bold)
Ron has both hands on the back of Kobe's neck just prior to that, shoving his head downwards on the rebound
That was the foul they called on Ron (the ref' told Ron he had his arm around him) and it was legit. To me, it should have been foul on Ron, T on Kobe. Kobe's known for using his elbows, but there are only a few guys that get close enough to actually beaffected by them. Only Ron and Bell have overreacted. IMO, Ron should've taken Fish's route and given Kobe a hard foul. A good push in the back on arebound attempt or something.
Ron deserved to get kicked out because he was taking over the game and not listening to anyone. The ref's can't have that.
Kobe's "He can't guard me" is straight stalker-status of MJ's in 93 against Gerald Wilkins.
Did you read BillSimmons recent article where he touches on the l0 stages of a player's reaction to a game winning shot?
Stage 5: "I'm going to pretend to be Michael Jordan to the point that you will feel creepy."
(Best example: Kobe's game-winner against the Suns in 2006 that recently made the slew of cool playoff commercials. We haven't seen an imitation that uncomfortable since Jennifer Jason Leigh got Bridget Fonda's haircut in "Single White Female.")
Normally I don't agree with that kind of play going on but you know what Scola deserved that for all the junk he does after the shot.
I agree. That's the way the game was played before the league clamped down on the extra stuff. It's about the type of foul Fox wouldhave put on someone during their championship runs.
my dude ron pointed at that sheep kobe and gave him the cut throat
I've seen it a few times and I still believe he was just talking to Kobe about the elbow.
Ask Spike Lee and how he almost canceled his movie do to Kobe's douche baggery.
Spike Lee was asked and didn't substantiate the claim. You're going off of hearsay.
crawford is too emotional as a ref.. he needs to go
+1
The NBA needs to do something about the refereeing. I know it's a hard game to ref' and it only gets more difficult when the teams get physical, butthey've got to do something because...
Fisher deserved to get kicked out, not sure if he should get suspended. Freakin Rondo eye gauges Brad Miller and barely gets a ticky tack foul.
Piece of #*+% officials.
Exactly. Rondo threw Hinrich into a table and slapped the heck out of Miller without receiving anything more than a foul. No fine, no suspensionand the ref's completely missed both calls.
Regarding Fish's intentional foul, as Fish already stated, it wasn't a blow to the head so he shouldn't be suspended. I'm not even sure itshould have been a Flagrant 2. It's not like Scola was in a prone position, but I can see where the ref's were looking to keep control of the game andit was the right call to make.
More than how the teams are going to play, I'm interested in how the next game will be called. The Lakers play defense with their hands too much so ifthey aren't disciplined, the Rockets are going to get a ton of free throws.
It seems like Odom finally played interior D the right way, by using his body. He bodied up the guys when they got to the lane and let the guards reach forthe ball instead of doing it himself and picking up stupid fouls. He's still the worst rotating big the in the league, but at least he didn't seem tobe committing stupid fouls.

please explain to me how running over to kobe, getting in his face and talking head like he wanted to fight him is not initiating anything
