    Uhh what? It was Fox who shoved his elbow into Christie knocking him down to the ground. It was Fox who then shoved his hand into Christie's face provoking Christie to give him the chin music that he received. It was Fox who ran around to the visitor's tunnel to instigate another brawl. Fox has the reputation of being a dirty "pretty boy" type of player, and this incident just adds to that reputation.

    It's pretty clear what happened if you were actually watching that game... Fox did one of his dirty, "enforcer" type plays and Christie responded catching Fox completely off guard and making him look like a fool in the process. Fox is only trying to save some face by making up this BS to explain his arse-kicking away.

    Amusing though.

    You guys never fail to amaze me.

    Fox is s#itting out of his ass. Obviously, Fox initated the incident. This is a Phil Jackson-esque quote to try and get into the Kings' head.

    Anytime a Laker says something, everyone wants to make it a big deal. The Lakers are the #1 team at saying s#it for the sake of getting teams unfocused from the task at hand.

    I'd be willing to bet that Fox or Horry will do something to stir the Kings up in tommorow's game. We'll see if it will work. One thing for sure, is that LA has had a decided mental edge over Sac the last few years.

    Yeah, even when one of the Lakers farts on/off the court, it means to get the opponent unfocused, a part of the grand scheme under the Zen master.

    One thing for sure, Fox started the fight, got his a** kicked and got a heavier punishement from the league. Advantage: Lakers.

    Christie made Fox look like the wimp he is. Fox is all talk. What a scrub. I never liked Christie, but anyone who makes a Laker look silly gets respect in my book.

    Fox is like a little dog: all bark and no bite.

    I remember that fool tried to pick a fight with Danny Fortson. And when Fortson stepped towards him, Fox kept walking backwards until somebody got in between them. Then he started yelling at Fortson. I'm glad Christie punched him in the face. If he was trying to get respect from his team, it may have worked because he earned mine.

    Many of us would ask, Why do you like them?

    Probably we're just eager to see the arrogant ba****ds get knocked off their perch. As far as Rick Fox, well, he's always been a punk, an instigator. To be fair, Fox is Big Chief Triangle's go-to dirty player.

    For example, Rick standing, bringing up the ball in both hands as if to pass, and brushing Christie's chin with "an errant" hard elbow, then acting all "what's-this-guy's-problem?" when Christie retaliates.

    Rick Fox pushed Doug Christie down, and Doug Christie threw the ball at him. And they started fighting. That was hilarious.
    The game at Golden State against the Portland Trailblazers. That was entertaining too. Chris Mills, the guy who started fighting with Bonzi Wells...then went to their locker room...THEN parked his car in front of the Trailblazers team bus was only suspended for 3 games while Rick Fox was suspended for 6 games and his incident occurred in a preseason game. That's a little unfair.

    I love Vlade Divac! He is so funny. He was staring at Rick Fox before the game started. And Doug Christie mooned Rick Fox. The Los Angeles fans were crazy. The Lakers are so sad that they blew a 12 point lead.
