Timely Hero
Jacoby Blows
That's fucking bullshit, and I'm rooting for the Lakers.
Are you serious? He went right after Kobe. You can't do that and not get thrown out. If they didn't step in Artest would have hit him. Old Artest comes out. What an idiot he is.
First of all he had backed off already and was being retrained by Crawford. He told Crawford that he elbowed him in the throat and kicked him out. It was really weird. Go back and rewind it. Crawford backs him off and doesn't do anything, because he knows Kobe instigated it. Then after he's backed off he says Kobe elbowed me in the throat and he ejects him. What the fuck? :+clueless
I would agree with you 100% if they threw him out right away for going at him, but that wasn't the case.
I actually think they did eject him right away. Artest just didn't know it at first.
Seriously, if you have TIVO rewind it. He grabs him and tells him to call down, or back off. Artest then, kind of, yells that Kobe elbowed him and Jerry blows his whistle and ejects him. SO ODD.
WOWOWOWWOOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!
Artest's reputation definitely had something to do with it. But seriously, if Crawford didn;t jump in between them at first Artest would have started a brawl. You can see it in his actions. He was in that crazy Artest mode.
Artest is crazy as hell, but his craziness is bizarrely logical. If he feels that something is wrong and no one is doing anything about it, he's gonna take matters into his own hands.
Remember, Wallace was the catalyst for what happened in Detroit. People don't talk about him as the cause near enough.
They tossed artest to avoid retaliation. Mainly because of his reputation and the fact it was clear he wasn't going to let it go. The nba can't have more brawls on the court when a lot of people think there is too much thuggery as it is. Not hard to understand
Please. Wallace started a fight with Artest. Artest charged into the stands after fucking fans....2348ji23e
If Artest wasn't tossed he was going to fight Kobe. Fact.
That's fucking bullshit, and I'm rooting for the Lakers.
artest got thrown out because
a) he has a reputation as a hothead which precedes him so refs have a quicker whistle
b) he argued with the ref and then charged kobe and got right in his face
[/b]
How is that a fact? Jesus Christ some of the things that are said. If Ron Artest wanted to hit him he would have RIGHT AWAY. He would have walked up to him and DRILLED HIM in the face, because he's not the kind of guy to hesitate. Artest said after the game that he just wanted to let Kobe know that he needs to stop fucking hitting him. He didn't hit Kobe, he got in his face, nothing wrong with that.
was the percieved throat slash that did him in. Not a very good sign for don't hit me in the throat. I think either way was okay here. Ron did not handle it well at all. Not debateable.
Did you watch the game? Please don't COMMENT UNLESS YOU WATCHED THE PLAY HAPPENED.
Artest took a cheap shot to the throat and he ran STRAIGHT THE REF to tell him that it needs to stop.
The ref didn't talk to Kobe so Artest went up and GOT in his face, but he didn't touch him. Crawford came over and pulled him away from Kobe and told him to chill out, and then Artest told Crawford that he got elbowed in the throat. Crawford THEN blew his whistles and threw him out. That makes no sense. If you thought he was arguing with you, T him up like you're supposed to do, but Artest didn't cause any harm on that play, Kobe did.
TH- Maybe you shoudl watch again unbiased. You really think Artest just wanted to let Kobe know and didn't touch him? He may have had his hands down but after a dead ball he went right at KObe, right in his face and was bodying up against him. Artest was in complete meltdown mode and his teammates couldn't get him away. Either you are in love with Artest or you had money on the Rockets and are bitter. He also has the history of causing the biggest riot in the history of the NBA. Sure, refs should have just patted him on the butt and say forget about it... :doh1
i watched the game from start to finish and have it tivoed, TYVM
if you think that ron ron did not get his chest up into kobe's and bump him and then change kobe's course of walking then you are just flat stupid and ignorant and there is no point talking to you
Maybe you are just forgetting what really happened like the time you forgot about your gambling debt.....
So, you are basing your judgement n what Artest said after the game in an interview? What guy is going to say he should be kicked out?
During a dead ball he went right after Kobe and had t be seperated by the ref. What are you not understanding about that? You think that is fine and normal and he shouldn't be throw for that? He wasn't "just telling to Kobe to stop elbowing him".
