A few things really bugged me about this game and I was very pissed after this game. #1- that pick on Scola, why the hell didn't our guys get all in the Lakers face? We are getting abused and literally Scola was getting picked on the whole game by almost the whole Lakers team and not one Rocket came to his aid. #2- the throat jab that Artest took from Kobe. If anyone watching this game tells me this game wasn't fixed by the league you deserve a b!tch slap from Rafer. This game was going down the crapper from the 1st quarter and even though we made it close you could tell who was getting the calls. I mean the ref was almost right in front of Artest and Kobe but didn't call the damn foul. This series reminds me of the Kings series where Kobe elbowed Bibby in the face. #3- Yao where the hell were you and why are you not moving better to beat the front? #4- The straight up arrogance of the Lakers and the jabbering at our players was rediculous and not one T was thrown up until the game was almost over Kobe got one. To little to late. I still say we take this series in 6, and we best take care of our boys when they get back to Houston. F the refs, F the Lakers, and Yao for god sake call your damn rebound you stole a rebound from Landry's hands and then knocked Lowry completely out. PAY ATTENTION and WAKE THE F UP!
This series will end up making the Lakers vs Rockets one of the most heated rivalaries for a while to come in the NBA....that's what I think. This will be a long brutal 7 game series with more technicals, more elbows, a fight or two and a suspension or two before it is all said and done. My predictions.
oh i do post on lakers forum too, i visit rox and lakers forum on a daily basis during the season, kobe is not a rapist, it was adultery, which is well, very common in this country, if artest taunted someone after a dunk or made shot, u guys would've called him "so much heart, competitor, true warrior etc", and that elbow looked like inadvertent to me, kobe wasn't even looking at arest when he went for the rebound, oh, nice threat btw,i am really really scared
The Rockets have developed a pretty good game plan to beat the Fakers: close the lane for Bryant and make him work hard for his points and keep the Fakers from getting out on the fast break. Without Kobe or fast breaks, they have little firepower other than Gasol. The Rockets lost tonight because of 20 turnovers, which resulted in Faker fast break points. Artest played well offensively, as did Landry, but Brooks played poorly and turned the ball over too much. Yao was almost a non factor because of foul trouble, but even when he is not scoring, the double team he commands opens up scoring opportunities for others. The Rox guards should respond well at Toyota Center, turnovers will be reduced and the Rockets should have an above average chance to go up 3-1 if they can keep their turnovers down and keep Gasol from scoring much, because then it won't maztter what Bryant does. I have always hated Bryant snce he forced Shaq out of LA and put himself in position to get charged for rape. Tonight he further showed how little class he has. Lebron is such a better ambassador for the game than Kobe.
Agreed, I would take a Kobe KO over the Championship and no I'm not kidding. My hate for Kobe knows no bounds. I want Artest to go Mike Tyson on Kobe and bite his damn ear off.
EXACTLY OPPOSITE!? Dude, you don't even truly know that ***. Do you even realize that he does that stuff with kids so he can show the world what a "great guy" he is so chumps like you ge so drawn to him so easily. Then he goes out thinking he's king out the world, rapes a woman, and being classless on the court with his cheap shots and taunting. This is AMERICA kid.
Get the f*ck out of here!!! Who the f*ck are you to speak for us? I'm embarrassed to be from the same country as a little worthless piece of sh*t like you. GET THE F*CK OFF THIS BOARD M*THER F*CKER!
No I want the refs to do their damn job and get this **** under control. The refs are to blame for letting the situations escalate to the level they are at.
dude kobe was talking smack all game long, are u blind? i mean seriously. what do u have to say for the fisher foul? that was the cleanest **** too huh, normal basketball? or were u watching football
or just cause you guys are so biased, you think he's faking everything? first of all kobe is not a dirty player, he's tough but not dirty, and oh, since when did he rape a woman? well, authorities said no, and i'd agree with the court and not you, in ur words, grow up kid
One thing I think will be key for us in the next game is the Scola/Odom match up, the whole game odom was in scolas ear after every play. Odom has gotten in scolas head this game. The thing is if you noticed, Scolas was owning odom in the post but he just couldnt finish the shots, Scolas will realize this soon enough.
im actually surprised that the refs didnt call scola for a foul on that play lol WE GOT THIS IN GAME 3....were in theyre heads clutch city will be reborn
When Kobe rapes you or someone you know then you won't be so confident about your idol. I still have nightmares of him coming in my window at night and whispering in my ear "you can't stop me". Man the guy f'ing scares me more then clowns.
