    Just caught then end of the Hou/LA segment

    - If they didn't suspend/punish Kobe for previous dirty plays why would they start now

    - People around the league are getting tired of Kobe's dirty plays, don't understand why they haven't done more to stop it then

    - should be upgraded to flag 1 and fined

    - Loved Ron's 'Don't you know you're hitting Ron Artest' Quote

    I'll add that they don't think Ron should have been thrown out. Said he was thrown out because the ref's thought he was making a slashing throat gesture to Kobe.

    But in reality he was pointing how he was elbowed in the neck.

    Prediction : Shane laughs off allegations of dirty play and just says the Rockets need to keep their focus on playing good basketball.

    He's not going to tell us anything new on the Von Wafer thing.

    I expect the Shane Battier laugh. ;)

    +1. And a bunch of other elegant, well-spoken stuff that fails to answer the question.

    does fish deserve suspenstion?

    shane: it's the playoffs. gonna be physical. let sty make the decision.

    kobe/ron?

    shane: much a do about nothing.

    took elbow and knee from kobe.

    shane: playoff basketball. bay boy pistons would've laughed at that.

    gonna get rougher?

    shane: refs gonna set the tone for game 3 with tightly called contest.

    study to defend kobe...

    shane: he's the best on the planet. try to make him work. exploit few inefficiencies. make him take a lot of shots to score a lot of points.

    kobe screaming he can't guard me.

    shane: laughs. i stay the course. if he's hitting shots according to my gameplan, not much you can do. it's not about me stopping kobe. its about me doing things to help ym team.

    The league office has to have a spot for Shane already picked out. He should be the next commissioner.
