Lakers Fans are some f-ing cry babies!!!! @dahntay1 is a great defender, it's nothing dirty about my bro! Y'all lost! Get over it!!

[Shot Clock]

It's the most common dirty play in the book on a jump shot... It's not like he turned and boxed out after the shot went up. Jones kept going forward and planted himself squarely under where Kobe's landing spot was. Kobe was fading away and out of bounds for Christ's sake and Jones didn't even really jump to contend. Kobe "kicked" a leg, but it wasn't even the one he under cut. Jones undercut his back one.

That hurts just watching it. Anyone that has come down like this knows how much that can hurt.

Pathetic play. I'm certainly not a Kobe fan but this isn't the way I wanted to see the Lakers this year. I was really hoping for an epic Laker/Miami Finals for the ages. I'm not a fan of either team but that would be something to watch. Let's hope it happens.

"After review at the league office, video replay confirmed that referees missed a foul call on Jones as he challenged Bryant's shot and did not give him the opportunity to land cleanly back on the floor. Bryant should have been granted two free throws," the NBA posted on NBA.com/official.

wow.

I agree that it was a foul, but Kobe has gotten away with so many ticky tacky calls over the years, some when all the defender did was breathe on him, that they'll never catch up to even the score.

I don't agree that Jones was trying to hurt Kobe but he was intentionally undercutting him to make him miss, and everyone knows the potential for injury with a play like that.

This makes no sense. The undercut happened AFTER the shot was released. The whole point is trying to get the player landing after the shot.

D'Antoni on KB: "We don't want to injure it any more. We'll see how it goes." Maintains that it's a gametime decision, but his gut says yes

[minifang]

I personally think Kobe should sit a few games and recover for the final stretch of the season. We don't need him injuring himself more and handicapping himself for the playoffs if we make it. He shouldn't let his ego take over.

But he's proved us wrong and we can do it again...

[Laker0916]

Get well soon Kobe.
