LMAO go to the 20 second mark. artest was digging in on him and kobe elbowed him. both were wrong

i think i need to see some apologies
this vid is clear as day. watch it WOW. ron lied about the neck
but kobe is a puss right for backing off? ron pulled a vlade divac here.

Thanks for finding the picture that clearly shows Kobe with his elbow on Artest' neck during his elbow.

It`s not necessarily that noone has the confidence to challenge them, it`s just that noone has the skill level to do so. Pistons were an absolute mess, and barely even made it into the playoffs, and the Hawks are still a young team, and aren`t quite ready at being contenders yet. Would`ve been nice to see Heat vs. Cavs, over Hawks vs. Cavs. I think Heat would`ve made it more of a series. Wade and Lebron went off like mad each time they faced off, scoring at least 30 each game, respectively, so, it would`ve been rather exciting, imo.

The beat downs would be even bigger with the Heat playing. All they have is one player, and when you have a player on your team who is better then that one guy, you won't lose.

these are sick

Mexi are you complaining about an elbow from Kobe? lmao. You see Vujacic bloody Battier, and Kobe purposely fall on Battier (hoping to hump him I assumed?) in game 1, and Houston still won, which I said could be done and you thought was hilariously wrong. You owe me an apology.

 

[VC15]

Aren't you the guy who said that the Hawks would beat the Cavs in seven games? Your credibility=losst

 

[Mexi]

i had to come on to say, Artest's Flagrant 2 and ejection was BS. NBA will probably rescind the flagrant

HOWEVER, that didnt determine the game. Lakers played awesome and shut down Houston.
I know everyone likes to hate on Bynum, but he played excellent defense on Yao.

2-1 lead and HCA is back. Looks like Fisher woke us up which is what I thought he would do
Game 4 is our closeout game. win and we await Denver

Wow they are really good. I always thought the NBA made the best commercials.

Yeah the Artest flagrant was a joke. I dont know how they determien it to be a flagrant 2. isn't a 2 suppsoed to be unneccesary and high impact?

How is my credibility lost, that could easily happen. I dont see ATL losing at home, which would force a game 7.

isn't a 2 suppsoed to be unneccesary and high impact?

like the flagrant/suspension that should of been but wasnt given to Vujacic after that bs he pulled on Wafer.

That'd just be pitiful if they lost on your birthday. Happy birthday btw.

Too much time off if you ask me....

Hopefully that Dirk "problem" wont be a hinderance to the team. We NEED this game tomorrow.

If the Hawks win one game in that series someone should slap Mike Brown with his coach of the year trophy. Nuggets are playing the best basketball of any team by far, the Mavs are going to have to fight for 48 minutes if they're going to get back in this series. I'm not a Nuggets "fan" but Melo is my favorite player so I do root for them, they just play incredible defense, it's amazing how much that has changed since last year. Allen Iverson is a cancer.

Carlise: Ok guys, we are going to be playing for that sick kid I told you about earlier.
Dirk: Whats he got? Cancer, swine flu, something else?
Carlise: Oh none of them, he is just sick in the head.

=D

Judging by the level of competition...Yes.

 

[I'm With ATL]

Mario West guarding Lebron = fail. Why is Smith not guarding Bron 100% of the time he's on the floor? Nice shot though, love how Lebron just stands there afterwards.

Judging by the level of competition...Yes.

LOL.

Hawks & Pistons >>>>> New Orleans & Dallas

 

[HTF]

LOL. What's sad is that you probably believe that. I hate homers.
