Can't wait until the Lakers go to Houston on Friday night. Oh man, it was fun last night watching them beating each other up. Its PLAYOFFS time. Dont cry like a baby Rockets. Kobe got on Artest nerves and guess who win the mind game, KOBE prevails. Artest lost it just like he always did. It doesn't matter how hard the foul was man, your team need you so be smart and stay in the game. Shane Battier with blood dripping down his face in Game 1 and now this, 2 ejections and 5 technicals, 1 suspension in Game 2, Bloody series. Lets go Lakers.

Artest was tossed based on reputation and not his actions in that game. He did nothing worse than Rondo, Keyan Martin or even Rafer Alston, none of whom got tossed in their games. He was elbowed in the throat and got the foul called on him. That would piss anyone off. Even Kobe didn't think he should have been ejected.

First of all he Artest was not elbowed in the throat.
Go and look at the videos and the league decision
regarding the matter.

Artest was smothering Kobe under the basket
with his elbow and arm all over his back and a foul
should have been called. That's the way Artest plays
and about the only way you can get some clearence is to
deliver the message "BACK OFF".

It's the Playoffs, it's emotional, and the players
will tell you it's exactly what to expect when
the desire to win kicks in.

This is just a pic of one frame of that incident between Kobe and RonRon but it goes to show what goes on in that play aside from Ronron's accusation of Kobe elbowing him.

Artest normally plays this way yet when someone has enough of it and dishes out an elbow to him that sends a message to back the f off he cries foul. Cry me a river.
