It continues!!

Elkann recently raised the ire of Raptors fans everywhere when he touched a ball that was going out of bounds, while grabbing Jose 's cock and trying to suck on it. Colangelo reportedly set a mob hit on Elkann after the game, and he was found dead in his hotel room 35 minutes after the game was over. Rasho and Reggie Evans were seen exiting the hotel shortly after the body was found, and Evans appeared to be holding Elkann's testicles in his hand.

The wikipedia guys are monitoring it now. They check every 30 seconds. Oh well, it was fun when it lasted.

They kept the "Elkann recently raised the ire of Raptors fans everywhere when he touched a ball that was going out of bounds. Toronto Raptor Jose Calderon was trying to get the ball but was prevented from doing so when Elkann interfered." part, though.

Yep, the Raps fans sure messed up that wikipedia page. A noticed a few of the sources at the bottom are missing now and the part about the transsexuals which was actually true and had a source is gone.

Apparently the guy claims he was rooting for us to win..

LOS ANGELES -- It says something -- something far from good -- that the Lakers beat the Toronto Raptors thanks to yet another game-winning shot by Kobe Bryant. It says even more that the defensive play of the game was made by a man named Lapo Elkann.

Elkann isn't a D-League player the Lakers brought up on a 10-day contract. He's a man who was sitting in his cousin's courtside seats. And with the Lakers ahead by four points and a ball heading out of bounds on their defensive side of the court, Elkann with both of his hands in the air, then knocked the ball off Toronto guard Jose Calderon's head before Calderon could save it. The ball landed out of bounds, last touched by a Raptor, possession awarded to the Lakers, who went on to win 109-107.

"Tough play, because it was a two-point game," Calderon said. "I was looking to pass to my teammate. I wasn't looking, and I look back and the guy just hit the ball."

Elkann offered an apologetic shake of his hand to Calderon. Ron Artest came over, patted Elkann on the head, and told him "Good D."

Elkann truly was sorry he hurt the Raptors.

"Having two Italians [Andrea Bargnani and Marco Belinelli] on the team and being Italian, I wished for them to win," Elkann said. "I saw the ball coming on me, and I pushed it."

"I'm not an expert in basketball," he said, explaining his ignorance of the rules. "I know more about soccer than I do about basketball."

He pulled up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo of the Juventus Italian football club logo. But if he's a soccer guy, he should know you're not supposed to use your hands.

"You can't," Elkann said. "The only one who's allowed to use them is Maradona, in the World Cup."

So now the Lakers have their own "Hand of God" play. There's nothing heavenly about them lately, evidenced by their need to be bailed out by an once-in-a-lifetime fluke play from a fan and a nearly twice-a-month shot by Bryant, who has hit seven game-winning shots this season.

The NBA can ban fan from arena.
A washington fan was ban from the arena because he was swearing too much.
I don't see why NBA should allow this as shole, Elkann, to entery an arena.

"Hand of GOD" saves Lakers

"You can't," Elkann said. "The only one who's allowed to use them is Maradona, in the World Cup."

So now the Lakers have their own "Hand of God" play. There's nothing heavenly about them lately, evidenced by their need to be bailed out by an once-in-a-lifetime fluke play from a fan and a nearly twice-a-month shot by Bryant, who has hit seven game-winning shots this season.

The Lakers narrowly avoided their first four-game losing streak since April of 2007. They let the Raptors shoot 51 percent and score 58 points in the first half. The Raptors, not known for their inside play, outrebounded the Lakers, 44-40, and nearly matched them in points in the paint (44-38, Lakers). The positives were so scant for the Lakers that in the final minute Phil Jackson noticed the Raptors had 102 points on the scoreboard and joked with his coaching staff that the Lakers had held them below their season average (104.2).

That lasted only a few seconds, after Calderon went baseline for a layup. And after fouling Lamar Odom, who made only one of two free throws, the Raptors capitalized on yet another defensive breakdown by the Lakers, when Pau Gasol stayed with the dribbler and Derek Fisher didn't jump up to the screener, Chris Bosh, who drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game with 9.5 seconds remaining.

That forced another clutch shot from Bryant, who slipped away from a double team, dribbled toward the baseline and pulled up for a 17-footer that dropped with 1.9 seconds remaining.

Bryant wasn't beaming afterward.

"We scored a lot of points tonight," he said. "That's not going to win championships. You've got to stop people. We didn't do a good job of that tonight."

The Lakers aren't doing much that would result in a championship right now. They don't even have championship swag.

"We've got to start building on our confidence and our rhythm out there and really step it up," Gasol said. "So far we've been struggling. We've played well in stretches but not consistently."

If they're going to repeat they've got to find a defensive identity. If not, they need to get a permanent seat for Elkann along the sideline.

This play didn't cost us the game, look at the play even if Jose got his hands on it their was nothing but yellow jerseys behind him to steal his saved pass.

What cost us the game was some missed key shots by Jose some poor play by Turk, some questionable coaching decisions and some horrible calls by the refs down the stretch. For example that foul on Bosh where Kobe comes in for the layup, Bosh was about 3 feet from contact anywhere on his body but because kobe fell down its a foul.

Good game anyways

Chris Bosh was there too. Besides.. i rather they steal with no time left than having them set up for a Kobe win.
