I AGREE!!! The Lakers have gone into Mike Tyson mode. Here they are, the whole organization, their fans, the local and national media all expected them to just show up and knock out whoever dares to enter in the ring in the first round. All of a sudden, they have a team who is not intimidated, comes at them with every possession, doesn't back down and plays them physical and they can't handle it. So, what do they do? Now, they feel like since the Rockets are not bowing to their collective feet, they play dirty to try to get that intimidation back. They went to biting ears off with Fisher acting like a little punk. And I'm sorry Mr. Fisher. You are not tough by maliciously taking out another player and then acting like you don't know what hell happened afterward. That's not being tough, that's being a punk. On a side note, how r****ded does Kobe look talking trash towards someone who doesn't give a flying sh** he's doing it? LOL!!
Too bad obviously it was the rox players who lost their mind near the end of the game, 1 turnover after another...
I completely agree with your opionion. It is playoff games. The LA fakers keep trying to piss our players off by talking trash or playing dirty. Rox shoud keep their cool, punish fakers by continually executing offensively and defensively on both ends of the court. Von is moronic to go against the Coach at the middle of a tight series，he better apologize earnestly and plead for forgiveness.
We ARE in their heads, actually. I agree with the OP. The Lakers finally realize that not all the teams will just roll over and die for them. What do human beings usually do, as a last resort to beat another? Pull out the dirtiest tricks. They realize they have to cheat, hit this place, elbow that place, and taunt us.
Somebody please, please call the Jim Rome show with this take tomorrow. Not only is that accurate and funny, but it will call more attention to Kobe's cheap shots. Dude needs to be suspended for a couple of games. One for the knee and elbows to Battier. One for the elbow to Artest's throat. But f--- the league, they won't do anything to their VitaminWater posterboy. So let's do them one better - blow them out in both games here, and put them out of their misery in game 5.
We should make up huge banners of Kobe elbowing Shane and Artest, with a question beneath it: Would Jordan take cheapshots? Maybe Shane's bloody face with the word "vengeance". And the chant should be more stinging and personal, but less plainly vulgar and crass.
