Post#1 » by kevin_405 » Thu May 7, 2009 5:28 am

Shouldn't that have been a lose ball foul on Artest before Kobe threw the elbow..
He was riding kobe's back all the way ,If the refs allow that then such things happen.

Will kobe be suspended for it..

No way Kobe gets suspended for that. Not even a scrub would get suspended for that.

I'm very worried about that play and somehow it looked dirtier than it did to me while watching it and Kobe & Stu have a history with suspensions for similar elbows. I just hope they give him the superstar benefit and overlook it.

Thats what the commentators were discussing and the TNT post game show were taking about too..

There will some fall out of the Fisher play and i am just hoping there are no other side affects like a Kobe suspension.. Fish i think will miss game 3 and it will provide opportunity for shannon and Farmar

If for some crazy reason if Kobes play was upgraded to a flagrant 2, then does he just get fined? or does he get fined and 1 game suspension?

I don't care as long as I'm not on the receiving end. Atleast not in this situation with a must win game coming up on the road.

If everyone was treated the same way, we wouldn't even be discussing a suspension for Kobe...

We'd be talking about the latest 'Crazy Artest' episode.

if kobe get's suspended it's a travesty. the rox are holding grabbing and pushing,meanwhile we get four team fouls for looking at them. no way should kobe or fisher be suspended. the rox are a self proclaimed rough team. they are the one's making this series gritty.
Only on realgm is 27,000 points, 5 rings, 1 rs mvp and 2 finals mvp considered overrated!

Kobe suspended? Are you kidding me... the league should MAKE KOBE A ROLE MODEL for keeping his composure after that scrub from Pacers started jawing on him.

Oh yea, and Scola SHOULD BE Suspended for bruising Fisher on the head.

Do you know how Fisher's head got cut?

Head meets jaw.

I would love to see the league suspend Scola on that one.
