What did Kobe do? Not defending Kobe, put the worst thing I saw him do was push off Yao's back and knock him out of bounds so he could get a rebound...
hes still got his nice guy smile in that shot... there are better shots of him when hes yelling at the refs actually looks like a badass for once!
Shane blocked a pass & stole the ball from Kobe. They both fell to the ground and Kobe starting knee-ing Shane.
shane steals his ball ,Kobe jumped up and went to shane and punched shane's head or some illegal physical touch. and there was no calls from the referee. The players crowed together, I can't see clearly ,but Kobe is abosoultly behavior like a irritated mad dog.
When did this happen? I got home from work halfway through the 1st and had to do some things thereafter...

Yeah ,Vujacic got shane with an elbow and made this bloody face. But before this, Kobe 's dirty play just make me crazy . The scene must be cut off by the TV
Not sure but it was almost a technical Kobe after he and Shane fell after Shane almost stole it, Kobe did a knee-push and made an angry face while getting up.
If the Rockets finish off this game, and especially if they win this series, this photo tells the story of this game.
The image of Bynum trying to back Chuck Hayes down and Hayes doing his impersonation of a fire hydrant and not budging should also be included. Chuck didn't log many minutes, but that play had me laughing for a solid 5 minutes : "b****, you better go around me, 'cuz you sure as hell ain't goin' through me..." LOL!
