Early in the first quarter, or late in the second. Regardless of the score. it doesn't have to be Kobe. Anyone. Hard elbow to a chin on a screen. Just lay someone out. Let these busta arse Fakers know we are here to play. any game. It's obviously fair game to them. I don't care if it's "classless" or chippy. I think the Lakers don't care at this point either. I kinda expected the Lakers to win tonight. Honestly I did, but not like this. I feel like LA is the playground bully who got popped in the face by a younger, smaller kid who is tired of hearing how bad-ass LA is. Now that we MANNED UP, bully don't likey. James White. One play. One Screen. One Elbow. ONE HUGE MESSAGE.
and one large fine. a long suspension. a utah jazzesque dirty play. just play clean, they'll get theirs.
ok that would get the rockets banned or something, you dont send out a player who hasnt had one min of PT in the playoffs into an important game early on and have him take someone out....how can you even argue it wasnt intentional...
Lame. That's exactly what we don't want to do. Every time I see Battier ignore Kobe's douchebaggery, I feel so proud of him to not stoop to that level.
you're probably right. I know it's foul. I'm just sick of watching us take the high road and teams like LA and UTAH advance by playing like disgruntled crybabies.
We are not the Utah Jazz or the Los Angeles Lakers... We are the Houston Rockets (where real basketball is played).
Like Ron just said. That's not the way we do it. We win fair. We lose fair. Leave the cheap shots to the Lakers and Jazz.
I'd love it, but no.. it's not right, and I don't want our team associated with it. Plus the intentional aspect would probably come down on Adelman in some way..
I agree, it's lame, lame as hell....but LAME is winning these fools games. I'd rather be a lil lame in the WCF than a stand up org. at home.
Great idea but honestly, this is too blatant. We have to hide it more by using some of our more innocent players. Example, Yao goes up for a rebound, comes down focusing all of his down force through his elbow to the top of Kobe's head. Theres no way theres even a suspension for that.
I totally agree LL. I know its wrong and lame, but I would just love for somebody, ANYBODY, to put Kobe on his *** just ONE good time, lol. I love Shane, but i would at the very least like to see a hard foul on Kobe just once when he's talking all that ****...
how about we get bunch of people and shoot Kobes in the legs after the game..... this is the stupidest idea ive heard all day... how low can you sink if you wanna intentionally injure a player (doesnt matter if its kobe or not)
However, if the club suspends Wafer for a game based on the actions in Game two on our bench, we wil need someone to take his minutes. SO maybe we give James White his minutes, and then White does something stupid like throw a elbow.
