Fisher Suspended?

Ok, here's the question again. Should Fisher be suspended? To me, this was a more malicious hit than Dwight's, but it didn't hit the head. To me, if they suspended Howard, they should suspend Fish.

Anyways, its not like Fisher is gonna make or break a game.

Also, I don't think Kobe should be fined or anything for that elbow...but how the fuck was that a foul on Artest?

At any rate, I have changed my stance on this series after game 2. I now think Houston has a real shot at this series. They've shown more resilience than I thought they had in them. What'd yall think?

i wouldnt have said it before gm 2 either, but dang. i gotta agree now.

resilience is the word for it. kobe and co were raining on us last night and we took it like some champs. i couldnt believe how cool we stayed in that first quarter with all those shots dropping. kobe's face was priceless after every shot. he put that face on like he smelled something really gross and shook his head 'no' several times after every shot he made. at that point, i kinda figured we were gonna see a slaughter.

so, yea. if any team can weather kobe's "i smell something gross and i'm mad about it" face and still make it a game, i'd say they have a shot.

also, the fact that they won the first game in la speaks volumes i think. i still think the lakers are gonna win, but i would give houston much better odds today than i would have 2 weeks ago. (me and every bookie on the planet)

They always say something like they look at windup, impact, and follow through. Well, i have never seen more windup then D fisher's double-hop before that shoulder check.

And actually Fisher did hit Scola's head- with his brain. Fisher cut his skull on scola's face. Had to be his teeth.

I wanted them explain how that was a foul on artest too. We never got a good look at Kobe's elbow, but i certainly didn't see artest foul. I did see him give Kobe that "your a dead man" gesture, lol. The finger across the throat.

Yeah, houston was impressive for sure. Everytime LA looked like they were going to blow the game open, Houston woudl string a couple and get within 7-5. That is something considering Kobe last night.

That putback that artest had was not above the cylinder

That was Landry, but you're totally right.

Looks like he's suspended. Right call. They even gave Kobe a flagrant foul. Does anyone know if there is extra penalty for accruing flagrants?

Ron throated kobe in the elbow. easy call, fellas. you can't do that in the nba.

dullstone said...

"fellas. you can't do that in the nba."

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
;)

I know you can't elbow people in the throat. Just didn't see it.

Actually, the reason i just logged on is we forgot to mention Von Wafer, i think.

I have never heard of a guy getting kicked off the bench by his coach. Is Von Wafer some kinda dumbass, or what?
