Kobe gets Artest Again

[Tay]

Weren't you talking bad about Howard after he threw his elbow in Round 1? But when Kobe does it, it could have been a foul? It WAS a foul, at least a flagrant or a technical (the league officially ruled it a flagrant). But if the refs were keying in on those 2 to see Artest's foul, how do you not see an elbow? I get that playoff basketball is tough, but wild elbows are still illegal. Nobody can answer why the refs didn't bother to call Kobe for that elbow?

Dwight elbowed someone in the face for retaliation..a lil bit different than throwing an elbow at someone hangin on ur back to create space. LOL.

yea...fisher was suspended one game for that

To whoever said Kobe is soft, he clearly isn't as he routinely plays through injuries, etc.

But yes, he can be a dirty player (this isn't the first time he has thrown an elbow like this).   And no, Kobe would have never done this on a playground as he woulda got KILLED by Artest.   

As for Kobe not getting suspended?   Well, we all know him, Lebron, D-Wade, etc get special treatment.  ANd Kobe does his dirty work on the low, not obvious like Howard.   

But to those idiots who think the league hates Kobe or the Lakers, this DOES prove otherwise

THis board is laughable with all the biases from BOTH sides

As for the suspensions that were handed out. NONE of them will effect a series like AMare's did a few years ago...

LOL....the league would be widely accepted as a mockery if he were suspended for that. kobe getting special treatment is a laughable concept. and Artest is weaksauce, he's just mentally crazy.. Fisher is tougher than the whole Rockets team combined.

[Don Jacob]

if kobe were to get suspended artest should have as well.

[Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It]

artest will play like crap for the rest of the series 

that's money right there...he'll be like 10-35 for the rest of the series. Artest plays HORRIBLE when the opposing team gets his dumbass thinkin too much.

^LOL...how right am I when it comes to basketball?

[Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It]

i was LOL when he was shooting all those are balls in the 1st quarter......reminded me of Peja in game 7

Artest = the black Peja

i wonder what the Artest dickriders think about his air balls and no show in game 7?
