    I don't agree. You want to get Kobe pressing. Raja Bell and Phx kept beating him, as did the Celts last year, by getting him out of a rhythm. Get him in the mode where he either tries to do it all or sulks because his teammates "fail him". Get him out of the happy middle ground. Shane should have at him 1st, than switch to Ron if a change of pace is needed--the boos should be 48 minutes, or more if it requires.

    yeah, I also have seen that on NBA official net. Kobe escaped punished succesfully. Maybe that's their rule.

    I think Jowy Crawford should have been suspended in this playoffs too?

    Now we know the NBA is corrupt. What a shame!!!

    No one has to guts to suspend Kobe, but he can get cheap shots in.

    I hope we really play him physical on Friday and make his life miserable....

    Ron Artest from today's practice:

    "I think when a guy elbows you above the shoulders, that's an automatic suspension."

    You can chant whatever you want, but I don't know if everyone is going to back you on those chants. I liked the S-T-D one from earlier while he is at the free throw line

    No way.
    Ron's actions merited a technical, and that's all. If the game wasn't out of the control of the refs, he probably would not have even been ejected.

    Do you think for a moment that Kobe would have been ejected for getting in Ron's face after Ron hit him with an elbow?

    isn't there a limit on flagrant fouls per season/playoffs? basically he can't pull similar crap anymore since next one could be a multi game suspension..

    WOW! ESPN pregame show to the Cavs game is showing some new angles. I'm going to record it on my camcorder (since I don't know how to get stuff off my DVR). They have an angle RIGHT THERE AT COURTSIDE & you can see Kobe's elbow above the Rockets logo on Ron's jersey. That's about as borderline as it can get, CLEARLY Kobe was doing this to throw Ron off of him to get the reb AND cheapshot.

    F**KING AVERY JOHNSON IS TRYING TO JUSTIFY THE ACTION! Ok, incidental contact, but YOU DON'T SWING THE ELBOW LIKE THAT & call it INCIDENTAL!

    Avery Johnson is an idiot. That why they got rid of him in Dallas.

    Not at all unexpected. I'm okay with it. Kobe will get a little more attention in situations like that in the coming games, and that's enough of a reward in itself. The only thing the league ought to have done and didn't is have Joey Crawford assassinated, and what were the chances of that?

    Um, so do people think Artest got hit in the upper-chest and then exaggerrated/lied and said he got hit in the throat? I don't think he's that quick-thinking ("ouch, my chest... wait, ooh, Kobe might get suspended if I fake like I got hit in the neck. <clutches throat>") nor is he that low. The man definitely tells it like it is every time I've heard him. The video is unclear, but Artest wasn't.

    Haven't myou noticed the endless parade of NBA "commercials" during the game comparing Kobe and LeBron to decide the real MVP? Nauseating!

    But that's what the NBA wants , so we'll have to fight harder with that one hand held behind our back by Stern and the NBA.
