I don’t see either Ron or Kobe being suspended for the next game. Ron won’t be because all he did was talk, and it was rightfully provoked in my opinion. Hell, Kobe should consider himself lucky Ron didn’t Palace out on him. He’s fucking lucky Ron’s matured, or words wouldn’t have been all he was throwing around.

As for Kobe being suspended, it ain’t gonna happen. 1) He’s the poster boy Kobe Bryant, and 2) the league rarely suspends players for stuff that isn’t called in the game. Maybe if it was called (like it SHOULD have been) and a T was on it, MAYBE, but not since he got away scot free.

And I hope he is.

The league is reviewing ALL of thes T’s according to the radio post game… I know it is unlikely, but it would be the right thing to do… If it doesn’t happen it just sends a message to the people in Houston, New Orleans, Memphis, etc.: If you aren’t a major market with Marquee players, you need not apply, because the rules are different for you. Get big ratings (in lue of win) or go home. Follow the money. Maybe i’m letting my emotions get the best of me, but cut me some slack… Afterall, i have had to stay up till past midnight in order to make this work for the westcoast and the network, lol. Nevermind that I’m dying of the damn swine flu, or maybe it’s just the uphill battle making me wanna puke, or the fact that we had Crawford in 2 consecutive game 2’s ;)

I have such an appreciation for Portland now and I know they would be going through the same BS if they had advanced… I have no respect for Kobe as a person any longer… After watching how he handled himself in the olypics, i thought i may have misjudged him, but he’s just the most talented douche bag to ever moisten the court… I’m just sayin’ lol!

Recap sais " Artest was sent off the court by referee Joe Crawford with 6:57 remaining in the game after he pointed across the court at Bryant and made a gesture near his throat. Artest complained that he was elbowed in the throat by Bryant under the basket.

and “Moments later, Fisher was called for a flagrant foul when he collided with Scola as the Rockets brought the ball up the court.”

Its not like they cant watch the game and actually report what happend
ASIF not write about how kobe elbowed artest, like the replay showed
just recap about how artest complains about it =.=" and
WTF is this “Collided”
More like shoulder tackled, with an elbow and he also got Scola when he was unprepared coming up for a screen.
Hopefully we get some closure for all that happend
but im still happy with rockets taking game one
GO ROCKETS FOR GAME 3

Not like it would happen anyway. Its the NBA, remember, its Where Amazing Happens. As in Amazing how some teams are treated by the league.

kobe’s elbow was not intentional. Atleast not intentionally to the throat. kobe could not see where artest’s head was. It was a fluid arm motion and his elbow happened to catch Ron’s throat.

It quotes Stern on the Howard suspension for his elbow, and by his quote, kobe should be suspended.

Go On. Read. Its Interesting.

Seems even some Rocket fans have seen the other angle and belive Kobe hit Ron’s chest, but what about the Battier play? Something has to be done…
