Sasha- Warned for Trolling. Don't post that kind of stuff on the Rockets board. Regardless of what it says it either is inflammatory in that language or will be taken that way.

At least our Jazz/Rockets rivalry doesn't involve cheapshots, players acting like dicks, and completely uncalled-for arrogance from one of the teams.

This series has forced me to do something I never thought I'd do: Root for Houston. I am rooting like hell for the Rockets to beat the Lakers. Hopefully the refs don't try to stop it from happening, although I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up coming down to it. Be very afraid if Joey Crawford, Steve Javie, or Dick Bavetta are officiating any of the later games in this series.

Im starting to like Jazz fans more than the lakers.

If would be great if you'd translate that.

Jazz fan here, I hope you guys win Lakers... I absolutely don't like the way they played, with elbows and trash.

Wow, welcome on board man. I didn't expect this kind of crap from the Lakers; maybe I haven't paid close enough attention.

LOL you guys are funny, it is playoff basketball... if this was the 80's nobody would be crying about these calls. Scola tries to drag Odom down after the foul at the end of the 3rd and the next play Fisher decks him. In the 80's that would be called even, but now we are dirty. LOL Artest (who in case you guys forgot ran into the stands and tried to decapitate a fan a few years back) manhandles Kobe, who responds with an elbow to his CHEST, not throat and people go crazy.

I'm not here to start a riot or anything I just don't understand it. If Lebron did something like that it would be all good because he is the King, but Kobe does it and everybody calls him the dirtiest player ever. Let's just sit back, relax, and enjoy this 80's style playoff series.

Jersey.. Have you seen the rules lately? If it wasnt in the rule book, NO ONE would complain or anything. But, the way the game is orchestrated now, you are not allowed to do half of the things that was done in Game 2. Funny thing about your post, is it is NOT the 80s its the 2000's and you skipped the 90s. LeBron would be called dirty too. The fact of the matter is, what was done was dirty by ANY player. If Artest would have been Kobe and the roles where switched. Do you think Artest would be playing the rest of the playoffs? No.
