Well, to be fair, you can probably find the same thing posted in a Rockets blog site with totally different word descriptions on the photos above. It is stillsomone's opinion and take on what happened. Time to move on to Game 3 unless Stu decides to impose punishments. Stu got too much power. Haha.

I'm assuming you didn't see the gif from yesterday then Ska. After first glance, it did look like Kobe threw an elbow with the intentions to hit Ron,but on subsequent views it appeared it was trying to shrug Ron off his neck/shoulder/back area. And this is coming from someone who said trade Kobe lastoffseason when he asked for it and thought Kobe should of been suspended for his unnatural basketball movements.

I'd like to see that gif, where is it? What page?

 

[Lizakers]

do you all see how Ron lied about the throat nonsense? do you see how he lied to the refs?

just like Raja Bell and the phantom elbow of 2006 that never connected, Raja even checked his face to see if he was bleeding

basketball players are all actors always trying to manipulate refs to get calls

SMH at all of you who actually believed Artest based on that behind-the-play angle.

It got deleted. I'll see if I can find it on the net.

^ There you go. Proof that the Refs called the right foul on the right person.

 

[goukiteg]

This isn't the same one from yesterday, as yesterday was a HQ, much larger gif, but you get the point.

 

[burns1923]

How many teams you got?

I remember you rooting for the Suns just a couple years back.

None, actually. I'm just a basketball fan at this point.

I like the Suns, but I like what the Celtics are doing as well.

"But people use their elbows all the time in a basketball game to block someone out."

The Kobe elbow should be a non issue, IMO. Both ways.

Artest going over to Kobe is Ron being Ron for better or for worse. Let's be real. We're more surprised Ron didn't end his career right there bythrowing something. (Ron's career)

Unecessary, but that's what Ron brings to the table and you gotta live with it.

What I think, as others feel, ska included, the ejection was unnecessary. It was more of, it's Ron Artest, let's eject him. He didn't make a throatgesture IMO, it was more like for the 3rd or 4th time, he motioned how he got elbowed.

But eh, I doubt anything stems from this incident.

 

[frenchblue23]

If Joey Crawford wasn't an official in last night's game, I'm almost certain that Artest wouldn't have gotten thrown out.

 

[luong1209]

It's hard to see if the elbow connected, but the elbow was thrown regardless.

 

[duba169]

lol at some of you laker fans writing a freaking dissertation on the play

He should NOT of been ejected, but Ron's reputation precedes him. His other elbow gestures weren't as violent as the one that appeared tobe a throat slash. My Laker hater friends thought the same until we saw the replay and agreed he was just trying to demonstrate that an elbow was thrown athim.

 

[franchise3]

Also, people need to keep in mind that the ref who made the call, was behind Ron in that angle.

Not the angle that we're seeing these gifs and pics.

After watching the replay, it looks like and sounds like, the ref said that Ron arm hooked Kobe, as Kobe went up for the board. Not because of what he didprior. Even though in reality, it was Kobe throwing an elbow Ron's way

According to a source to the LA Times, DFish will get suspended one game, Kobe gets a flagrant and Famar will move into the starting lineup

 

[CP1708]

Too many pages to sift thru, but did anyone get any pics of Vanessa from last night. That tank top was lookin right in the brief glimpse that i got.

[scuse7]

I didn't really here anything if Artest is getting suspended, but he shouldn't be. And its not close.

D-Fish,

That was some dumb !*%@. Kinda shocked he did
