No. Its called being real. Hating Kobe? Why? Cuz he whooped up on our team? Alot of people are getting carried away calling him a rapist and all the personal crap. Let me tell you something. The day Kobe moves into Malone/Stockton territory would be NEWS if you are a true Rocketsfan. Those two guys used cheap shots, tripping, dirty tactics, flopping to get the 2 measly appearances in the finals. And still didn't win ****. Kobe can be as aggressive as any player. But if you want to talk about dirty...and you are being FAIR...Artest has a WORSE history than Kobe. Rape? Thats not fair. God knows what Artest has done in his life in such a bad neighborhood. I want to win also. But I know talent and greatness when I see it. Kobe has the respect of his peers. He is hated because he is that damn good. You think people adored Hakeem after dropping 50 and swatting 5 shots and intimidating countless others? Be real people. I would take Kobe on my team ANY DAY OF THE WEEK INCLUDING CHRISTMAS. Kick his ass fair and square like Artest said. Stop b****ing about a guy that took us to school. If you were that good, we couldn't keep your big head in check either.
once a rapist, always a rapist. and you are rite, rape aint fair. besides, wut ron's HISTORY gets anything to do with wut was going on out there in game 2?
I hate Kobe. But i hate Luke Walton more. Luke wears eye liner. I hope luke walton, and his romen noodle tat burn in hell.
That rapist beats people every game, and there isn't even a single foul. NBA, where dirty fakers and rapist and boxers and refs happens.
Battier needs to commit some hard fouls on Kobe, hit his face... Every now and then, instead of covering Kobe's face Battier needs to hit his face so that next time when Kobe shoots , its in his head that his face might get hit again. This may/will effect few of his shots. Its just human nature.... Also Battier needs to go for a block some time, Kobe knows that all Battier will do is cover his face, so he takes his time to shoot, instead of rushing it.
I partly agree. Battier needs to get a little more dirty when guarding Kobe. Kobe is dirty, so give it back. Just dont do anything that will warrant a tech. The more he harasses Kobe, the more Kobe will get angry. Hopefully, it will piss him off enough to do something to get kicked out.
This thread title should be changed to: Adelman needs to insert James White into a game that is already decided and have him commit some hard fouls on Kobe, hit his face
that's a really good idea, we need to respond in the opening of that game, and beat their ass. We'll out tough them.
I don't mean punch Kobe or something, just hit his face, if in the act of defense Shane's hand touches Kobes face , it will be called just a regular foul.
Haven't you heard Ron? "Our team isn't like that. We won't initiate anything. We'll win, fair and square, lose, fair and square."
You know, I wish Shane put a "hard playoff foul" on Kobe on that fast break layup in the 3rd. I mean, Kobe only ended up only teetering over the cameramen, he should've been diving over them, Shaq style.
THERE IS NO BLOCKING A JUMPSHOT 1v1 LIKE THAT! Kobe knows, Shane knows. WTF w/people wanting him to block an impossible shot? This isn't NBA LIVE! Also, I just posted this, but I DO WISH Battman had put a "hard playoff foul" on the breakaway layup on Kobe in the 3rd.
