I feel what you feel. But there is a huge distinction between my feeling towards Jazz/Mavs and LA. I hate Jazz/Mav as enemies, knowing they match againt us well and can grab us by balls. But after tonight's game, I feel disgusted by what Lakers do on court. That is a feeling you get only from thieves and Kim Jong-il.
Fakers have more dirty player than Utah. They got away with ALL the dirty plays at game 1, I guess Rockets did not send any tape to protest since it was a win. Fakers only got worse in this game. Koby's dirty play at Battier at game 1 should ABSOLUTELY one game suspension, exactly like Jason Terry gave Finley a couple of year ago. Much worse than K-Mart to Dirk, which is one technical + one flagrant + $25K. Can we still petition NBA for review?
the last time we played the lakers it was the whole malone nachbar fiasco. This time I think its pushed to about equal hate of the Jazz / Mavs. Maybe thats me being in the heat of the moment, but damn I am pissed
After seen what Fakers and the refs did in these two games, I found Utah and Dallas were so lovely, so cute...
All of the Lakers are pricks. You should not be able to taunt your opponents every time down the court (see Odom, Bryant). That should warrant a technical every time. You should not be able to elbow people in head and throat, and not be called for a foul. (see Vujacic, Bryant) You should not scream like a *****, always hoping to get a pity call. (see Gasol) The whole team are bullies. Bullies that always seem to get what they want.
I respected Kobe and the Lakers but their tactics are cheap. However, the rockets should not fall for their crap.
I DO NOT like L.A., dont get me wrong. But dude, I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEE the Jazz with a passion similar to the one I have for long-legged Italian women...
I never hated Dallas. I hate Jazz for the extreme flops. But now I hate LA's dirty and unprofessional plays way more than the flops. Kobe isn't on the top list. The list goes, 1. Sasha Whosthebitch 2. Derek ****er 3. Lamass Odom 4. Kobe Sasha played like trying to hurt people in every possession. Derek ****er's foul on Luis, speechless. Lamass's attitude. Trash talking all game like playing street ball. Kobe's elbow actually happens alot in the NBA but his attitude was a piece of ****.
My hate for Jazz and Dallas is at just anther level due the way that they flops and always gets the call. So far we have not seen a lot of flopping this series, so I cannot hate the Laker's as much as the Jazz or Dallas.
There's no way any Rocket fan could watch this series and not hate the Lakers. Nothing like tonight happened in Dallas or Utah.
I hate Fakers more than Jazz. Fakers played more dirty than Jazz. and they have the dirtiest player Kobe.
I only tought they have more class. Kobe is a damn lady. He cries every time they jit him but he when he takes a cheap shot - it is ok.
Never liked the Lakers, but until now they hadn't really been on my radar. Watching this series though...they appear to be a bunch of punks. Arrogant, whiny, dirty punks. The Stockton/Malone Jazz were dirty, but they came to play, and were at least professional (aside from the cheap shots). These Lakers are just a bunch of *expletive*s, with the cheap shots and all the jabbering. Kobe with his "he can't guard me" garbage really got my goat this game. I would love to see him get knocked on his duff. They wanted to send a message? Message received. We need to send one right back.
