fuck raja bell

i hope that punkass bitch gets suspended next game

[BIG GREEN]

Yea well..kobe just got ejected. Game 6 is gonna be the best game in the playoffs.

[robskicks]

Let's not complain about the refs but god damn they were blatantly onesided in this game.

[BIG GREEN]

steve nash: " I dont see the league doing anything about raja cause the other night kwame brown elbowed diaw to the ground and stood over him with his crotch in his face..."

I just found that hilarious..

[TRUball]

That was a game. Raja Bell is such a dumbass, if he isn't suspended next game I'll be extremely surprised. It wasn't like his arm accidently wrapped around Bryant's neck and he accidently threw him to the ground. After that I had hope for a Laker comeback and it was 93- 83 at that point was it not after that looooong Kobe 3 with 11 seconds on the shot clock. But then those pesky Sun's shots all started falling. This might even be a good thing though. Lakers will be able to close out the series at home infront of the fans with all the confetti and the like. It was all planned you know, so they would have a better show.

[Colin]

Yohance, I thought that was pretty hilarious too.

I wasn't able to see all the game and I'm pretty pissed about it.

[robskicks]

I hate RAJA!!

[BIG GREEN]

Woulda been even funnier if he said "nuts in his face" or "balls" on national tv.

EDIT:

charles barkley : "he wont get suspended...evans didnt get suspended for that loose ball foul"

[The_Flying_Tomato]

yes, lakers fans, join us and blame the refs, boo hoo. hate raja all you want, you know we hate kobe.

[Colin]

Who the fuck is "we"?

I don't hate Kobe. I don't even dislike him. I think Kwame's streching out his headband a little and getting cocky, but that's it.

[Fresh8]

Dude... i gotta go watch the game when I can get my hands on it... sounded like Raja Bell wasted Kobe on that knock to the ground? What happened exactly? Wrestling style?

I gues I can't give the Suns shit, LA lost to a team playing way better than them. Props to Phoenix for winning the only lop sided game of the series.

[Matt]

Suspension or not, after this, Suns are in deep shit.

[Buckley]

Wow.......I just saw highlights of Raja clotheslining Kobe....not sure if he will get suspension....

I think Lakers will win this thing in game 6...

[magius]

Is it just me or does shawn marion always seem to dissapear during the playoffs? anyway raja probably should and will be suspended for the hit, and I think it'll benefit the suns more than the lakers. One, if raja is in the game the fans will have more energy, and two kobe will have incentive to play well. On the other hand kobe's incentive to shit on raja could backfire and revert him to his old ways. ah, well, we'll see. I wonder who's going to guard kobe head on if raja is suspended? I think diaw could do a decent job, but he's better used as a help/pressure defender. Probably a combination of jones and marion....

[Matthew]

He has the style of game that disapears, he makes a living off open jumpshots and once he has to score on someone who presses him up he does struggle.

With that being said, he was great in last years run until the conference finals. If marion has to guard kobe, who will guard lamar? diaw? oh boy.. game 6 should be great though. i love the playoffs.

[Matt]

if you take either Marion or Diaw out of the post then your out of options....unless you wanna play Grant or Pat Burke. Besides, having either of them chasing Kobe on the perimeter means the Suns have already lost the battle on the boards unless Nash somehow turns himself into Rodman.

Suns lack of depth will hurt them.

[Cloudy]

The Suns played at their pace, and it's a good win for them. But why's this series getting so physical and mental? They hate each other so much now huh. Kobe vs. Nash, Kobe vs. Bell...

[Matt]

makes the series more fun to watch.....well some fouls are out of line but hard fouls are good.

[dada]

I gotta admit I got a little excited watching Kobe get knocked down. It just shows how deep under their skin LA is and how much it will hurt when they lose the series. I hate predictions but this series is over in game 6. So sad.

Steve Nash sure sounded like a little retard talkin all his mess. Sheesh, they shouldnt have leaked the MVP thing cuz he sure hasnt characterized it ever since. Wow Steve, lets just take out the other teams best player while we have the chance since we have been humiliated all series. Lets just rub it in while we are up by double digits. I guess since Kwame wasnt suspended for a move that wasnt premeditated then we can all fly kick each other for the rest of the series.

[Fenix]

Yeah, I lost a lot of respect for him because of what he said after the game, how he was trying to find excuse for Bell doing what he did. He showed no sportmanship there.

[BIG GREEN]

As i've said before..steve nash is a lil bitch. Two win mvp twice in a row makes him overrated.

[DB]

Suspension allright...

[Isaiah]

i found this in the same thread as the comic strips

[HonorGlow]

Yeah, I lost a lot of respect for him because of what he said after the game, how he was trying to find excuse for Bell doing what he did. He showed no sportmanship there.

That's inaccurate, he wasn't making an excuse he was stating on how the league has been giving these inconsistant suspensions or non-suspensions and how it should be compared with Kwame's throwdown. I'm no Suns fan, but I was watching the David Aldridge post game interview and calling it as it is.

Reviewing DB's clip though, it's clear that Bell had no intention of going for the ball or sliding himself in front of Kobe. And what league's is determining if it was pre-meditated or not. Seems pretty obviously though...

...AND WE'RE ONLY IN ROUND ONE! ...as Doug Collins exclaimed.

Personally, even if the Lakers lose this series, I think most Laker fans can agree that this was a good year. Although, obviously it'd be a shame if they did end up losing these next two games!

[The_Flying_Tomato]

that clip is great. i'm gonna watch that everyday. I should go buy a Raja Bell jersey
