The most interesting part of the Raja clothesline

[D-Dogg]

... is watching the crowd reaction. You have old ladies put their hands to their mouths in shock. You have some nimrods cheering, then you have these two absolute idiots in black behind the Suns bench hi-five each other like they are at a boxing match. They loved it. Sick.

You can hate Kobe all you want, but if a Laker clotheslined Nash like that, I'd say suspend him immediately, and sure wouldn't be high-fiving a roided out buddy like it was a very neat play.

Freaking idiots.

HD is great.

Not to mention the **** by the scorers table by the suns bench standing up and clapping his dumb butt off.

What a terrible reaction.

At least in the cheap seats most people were shocked in our section and didn't clap for a cheap shot. Cheap seats apparantly don't like cheap shots, but if you pay a billion dollars to sit on the floor, you can be as big an anus as you want.

I don't get tired of watching the crowd react. Much props to the shocked and alarmed crowd members....

Anyone lip read better than I? I can't make out what either D'Antoni or Bell says....

 

[arthurracoon]

I loved seeing Raja send Kobe to the floor, but I agree in that it was probably a bit much.

 

[D-Dogg]

I also love to watch the security guys in black jackets jump up all at the ready...no Pacers/Det-Riot happening here...one yells at the idiots hi-fiving too.

Good stuff.

 

[arthurracoon]

Well, if Nash got clobbered out of the blue, I would be furious.


However, the Bell-Kobe thing has been going back and fourth for awhile now.




(I can pad my post count too! )

Although I loved how sarver waved his finger later in the game (I think when kobe was ejected) in the same way kobe wagged his finger at bell

 

[D-Dogg]

LOL, there's a lady in green, right behind the backboard area who looks like she's on barbituates. She looks at the play, Kobe hits the ground and she doesn't move a muscle...not even a change of expression. She's by far the funniest reaction I've noticed yet.

Way to get in the game, green lady.

maybe they were shouting in gibberish?

Maybe we can reach BIM post status tonight?

I think Sarver gets his clothing from the upholstery at the Room Store. Maybe he worked a side deal with Marion. Knowwhaddumsayin?

its an honorable goal, to be sure

You're way ahead of me though Arthur.

maybe I should drop a couple thousand of these:

Then we can start on even terms.

Ok, this lady is the best. I'm still in awe as to how she can be totally unmoved by the action right in front of her. Just bewildered actually. Either her husband just asked for a divorce, or she's higher than a kite with helium balloons tied to it. She gets the for winning the funniest reaction shot of the night.

Bell and Kobe have some bad blood among them... so.

If it was Nash, who gets clobbered or Lamar Odom gets taken out dirty.. then it'd be a complete shock..

Kobe vs Raja had it coming, I mean Kobe always brushes off his shoulder thats a taunt to Raja.... Raja takes it personal as most people would.... but they are professional... and Kobe has gotten to Raja's head.

 

[D-Dogg]

More interesting, and I can't believe I JUST noticed this...but the clothesline happened at the same (almost) exact point that Kobe hit the game winner in Game 4. Weird?

 

[D-Dogg]

Kobe has gotten to Raja's head.

I agree completely with this. Raja needs to steel his nerves with Kobe. I know Kobe is frustrated by Raja, but he is mind effing him like Phil does refs and other coaches. Kobe just blinked when he hit the ground, and got up and walked to the other end, shaking it off knowing that he just got Raja to pull a suspension.

I commented in Game two how Raja didn't come in to jaw with Kobe when Kobe was yelling at Nash for pushing on Sasha, and how that showed Raja as less than he talked himself up. I thought Raja could bait Kobe into a fight. I was wrong. I think Kobe has been baiting Raja all series, and Raja grabbed it and ran...at a very bad time too, when he probably should have been ready to sit down and watch scrubs in a win. That smile and brush the dirt off from Kobe was months in the making. Probably started with his fish fry comment.

Kobe has learned a lot from Phil..he's going to be a very good coach.

Maybe for the Suns!!

Well Im one of those "Nimrods" that was cheering my ass off. I HATE Kobe and was VERY happy to see him finally get something he deserves. He is a cheap player and a crybaby.

Nice...way to go. I hope you cheer as hard if Nash got viciously clotheslined by Lamar Odom.

I'm glad to see Raja get what he deserves...a time out in the corner to suck his thumb and cry for a woobee. Freaking baby can't take the action of an NBA game...contact and all.

BTW, what kobe "deserves" is a second round matchup with the Clippers. The guy you are so "happy" about clotheslining him in one of the cheapest shots I've seen in the last 20 years has just given him a great shot at getting it.

I hope you're clapping as hard if the Lakers win on Thursday...you know, for Raja's petty foul and all.

Sounds like you and Kobe should go grab some milk and cookies together. LOL

 

[SirStefan32]

Well, he's gonna be suspended, so I don't think it was a smart move. On the other hand, screw it, good for him. He didn't smack him hard enough as far as I am concerned.

Ok? This is generally what happens when one player elbows another 3 times. The fans got tired of it and cheered when Kobe finally got his.

Now, I don't agree with what Raja did, but Kobe had it coming and I'm not shocked by the fans reaction. So what's your point?

God, would you just stop? Why don't you goto a Lakers forum?
