This video PROVES that the NBA is biased and not fair! That clearly wasn't a foul on Artest, and a forearm to Artest's throat/face/head area for the second time in this series by Kobe DEFINITELY deserved the technical foul. The refs made the right call on the court in giving Kobe a technical and the wrong call in giving Artest a foul. But what does the NBA with all of it's video angles in slow motion do? Rescind the technical on Kobe. That's a fu*king joke! A**holes!
If that is what happens when Ron artest runs around then that is what he needs to do after every kobe bump. Let's turn it around. When he stands up to them he usually gets ejected. If he runs around abit looking like he can not say something then kobe get's a T. Do it again Ron and hopefully you can get Kobe Double T'ed up.
After seeing that slow replay I'm sure that was an intentional elbow to the face. We all know that Kobe has a condition that makes his elbows and punches "natural basketball motions" but come on. I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. You don't elbow a guy who is your height or taller in the mouth while you are on the perimeter unless you meant to do it.
kobe should be suspending for game 7. per nba rules, contact above the shoulders is one game suspension minimum. i know that dirty b*stard did it on purpose too.
What are you guys smoking? No way Kobe deserved a T or any kind of foul. Where is this so called elbow to the face?
I'm going to go with Artest's face. You can see Kobe grab Artest with his right arm and then fling his left arm upward. The end result was Kobe's hand/forearm hitting Artest in the mouth. Why did Kobe need to fling his left arm up? There is no reason for that arm to be go up in a uppercut like motion other to intentially hit Artest. Based on Kobe's long rap sheet of doing this exact thing on the perimeter when being marked in a physical manner it is obvious it was intial. I'm to the point with Kobe that if we are down and he goes into the lane having someone just absolutely take his head off with an elbow in the face. Then stand over him and tell him that's one elbow to your three, you got two more coming.
Gutless move by the NBA. In the 4th qtr, He walked to one of the officials after having his shot altered by Battier, and said something like, "Don't miss that S**t. No wonder Kobe feels like he has the right to be a douche. He should have gotten a technical then, but the ref looked intimidated.
Wow, thanks for the slow-mo vid. I never saw the elbow before. I thought it was a phantom elbow. Even in that angle it is hard to see because his right arm obstructs the view & Ron's reaction was a bit late. I think Ron reacted to biting his tongue more than the actual elbow though.
Bryant beat Gasol (gif) of sentient beings Bryant: Although there is no positive disclosure of his face, it is conceivable that the expression of his anger resentment, Gasol' head shook by Kobe's hands violently in the first and then hit his left arm a bit light, it is estimated that a court of the details of dissatisfaction with Gasol , give vent to increase morale. Gasol: The conversation with Kumar would have very surprised what is obviously a sudden move to Bryant , but cast a glance of Bryant a gently, like a little girl to put up with the same silence . Farmar: I do not know with what to say Gasol, but also dare to find fault with Tecond-Fiddle is quite bold, but saw a large headed angry, and afraid to see what happens in the following, attention will shift in silence. Ariza: This the most funny. Just sitting in a daze after the original, and then all is quiet again saw, although his facial expression from start to finish did not change, but the drift of his eyes could not conceal uneasiness. Fisher: I began to organize their own uniforms, which had cast a glance at the Bryant and Pau Gasol, and quickly turn attention back to the clothes, the clothes have been folded up and opened, and then followed by finishing (do not know if this dress good finishing) . Powell: The Idiot who residual beside, does not know why he bending the head to take care of the past, was apparently not found in the atmosphere and slowly straight up his waist. Bynum: At the side being swung his body, all pretending not occur . Brown: definitely dared not look down, always looking in one direction. Red audience: sitting in the back seat replacement, micro-bow, in the eyes of all look at his face, he really let me puzzled what he's thinking. ps: these people's look makes so really funny, but also the resulting panic that the Lakers feel anxious at this time. psractise my english ,just a funny,enjoy it.
Funny thing is, the referee on the LEFT side of the court (from the cam viewpoint) saw it and called it. He had a clear view and saw the elbow to the face but somehow he got overruled by Stu, Stern or whoever's working for THE MAN !! JVG & Mark Jackson rambling on about the bad call should watch the replay better, the elbow is clearly connecting Artest's mouth AGAIN. Everybody''s getting under the Lakers' skin and i'm loving it !!! I hope Artest will just for once do something back because now he comes off like a clown and a bit of a p***y. I know it was smart to walk away but don't do it in that way and definetly do something back. The guy has elbowed you, hacked you, slapped you and outplayed you. It's time for Ron to outplay Kobe and do something back, because what goes around, comes around mu'****a.
who cares? seriously, if you guys take this as some kind of proof that the nba is rigged, you need to calm down. i agree with what JVG was saying during the broadcast.
kobe clearly caught ron on the jaw with a fist or forearm. it looked to me like he was trying to sneak in a cheap shot, not to hurt ron, but to bother him. he's more of a weasel than he is an aggressive snake.
I know it's tough to see a snake like Kobe sneaking in cheap shots, but for those of who don't see it:
