    You're so full of **** you can't even taste it when it's in your mouth. Go take your moronic excuses for your rapist's dirty punkass play somewhere's else.

    Are you serious? if Rocket fans only argue with Rocket fans what excitement does that make? would you want to talk to a parrot for the rest of you're life?

    whatever outcome happens in this series would mean the better team won.. end of story no matter what happens.. the refs will never be consistent with the calls so let the whining go.

    No; my point is that it wouldn't be exciting if a opposing fan did not argue with another opposing fan.

    Well not necessarily. Kings was a better team back in 2002. Donagthy is in jail now but Lakers still won the championship.

    From every angle possible, that elbow was intentional. In which part of your book states that intentional elbowing should be let go if players are in the play??? Does that mean Yao can swing his elbow onto Gasol's face if they were fighting for a rebound?

    I have been here since 2003; I have been a lurker here since of December/1999. what makes you think I will not give credit were its due when given time?

    coming into this series every smart fan knew it was gonna be a rough play through out.. we have seen that in Game 1 & 2 and its likely gonna get more rough-FER.

    Was Donagthy the reason Vlade tipped the ball to Horry? was he the reason the Kings missed so many Free-throws in Game 7? :rolleyes:

    The Rockets fans aint whining. Whining are for Hollywood bycths. But that does not stop the fans from demanding a fair game to protect our players. And it is sometimes nothing about winning, but how a team won. Rockets fans said awful things about Jazz and Mavs. But that was just fans showing support for their team. But I could only describe me feeling as disgusted after tonight's game, not as a Rockets fan, but as a guy who treasures sportsmanship.

    You guys need to stop trying to correct a guy's grammar when it's obvious that he barely speaks English. There was the "their" v. "there" mistake. But there's also the repeated mistakes of "were" when it should be "where" ("give credit WHERE it's due").

    More to the point, though, if the NBA is serious about its rules (and it's been pretty strict in its enforcement of them during the playoffs -- suspension of Amare for leaving the bench after Horry hip-checked Nash into the scorer's table, Dwight Howard elbow), then Kobe Bryant gets suspended for Game 3. There is no requirement of malicious intent specified in the rule. J.A. Adande, an LA sports writer who loves his Lakers, even pointed out that the rulebook says that "An elbow foul which makes contact above shoulder level" merits an ejection. There is no requirement that Kobe intended his elbow to make contact with Artest's throat. He threw an elbow, throwing elbows is inherently risky, and he has to live with the consequences if it makes contact above shoulder level. But if you seriously think that Kobe was just trying to establish position, that's ridiculous. He loaded that elbow and threw it viciously.

    LOL. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't abstain from replying. You crack me up almost as much as a ron artest interview.

    Thats according to you; but from what I saw he was getting in-position. I seriously see no point in this arguement. its more Important to me on how my team respondes rather then arguing about why Kobe should be suspended for Game 3.. if he is then he will be if not then life goes on..

    Someone who has to play a little rough to get the ball.. which is what happened during that incident.

    Ron is a hardnosed player everyone knows that.. without playing a little rough with him he will always outmatch you especially physically..

    now if someone is gonna argue about Fisher's push-off I will not argue about that because that was clearly a dirty play I will admit to it.

    J.A. Adande saw it my way. He thinks Kobe should be suspended by the league. You're obviously not objective and apparently lack any moral compass as evidenced by your support for a rapist. But you can't deny the plain fact that this was an intentional elbow when an LA sports writer who loves the Lakers said as much.

    But if you see no point to this argument, why do you respond to these threads? If I were a player or a coach, I would be more interested in what I can control (e.g., how I play, how we adjust our game plan, etc.). But as a fan, I'm absolutely interested that justice be served. If the NBA wants to be taken seriously, it has to enforce its rules so it doesn't seem like a rigged showcase like "professional" wrestling. It pisses me off, and I will stop investing my time, money and other resources into the sport if it's not legitimate. Just like I stopped watching baseball because of how bogus performance enhancing drugs made it.

    The only why he said that is because he was using Dwight's case with Kobes.. but the reality is that Kobe's pushoff was less obvious then Dwights.. not to mention Ron already fouled Kobe before Kobe even threw off his elbow.. it was a physical play and nothing else.. Ron did not lose his breathe.

    LOL

    "Pushoff"

    Let me ask you right now, will you be happy if Yao starts "pushing off" when the Lakers are draped all over him? Because if he's got a green light to throw an elbow at other people's heads, throats, etc.....EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR....I mean "push off," your team will be in the hospital by the second quarter.
