Don't tell me you're a Laker fan...

Didn't look that bad to me and the guy that got pushed seemed ok.
rugby basketball could be quite entertaining actually.

This was a lot worse than a rugby hit. Rugby has rules about how you hit a player for very good reasons.
I'd rather be placed as a linebacker in the NFL than have a guy cut my feet out from under me while going in for a dunk. I'm a light guy too, so I'd be crushed and smashed terribly every play as a linebacker against someone with more than 200lbs on me. I'd at least come out so badly bruised and hurting that I couldn't walk for over a week. I'll take that over coming down headfirst onto hardwood from several feet up.
Bynum's hit here is more than Bush League, his suspension should last the entire next season if not straight ejection from the league.
I'm a Canadian too, so I'm accustomed to bare fist fighting on ice as a terrific national pass time. There are rules to how you hurt each other in a sport though, specifically so that people get hurt instead of injured.


BAH still a load of rubsh , 1960s f1 drivers would gly out of the car and die all the time thats when sport was entertaining , the romans had it right as well . if u gona pay sumone 1 mill + they might as well be risking there lives for my entertainment.

The Lakers are a bunch of cry babies. This wasn't the only ejection that night. They threw a fit because they got bitched by what they deemed to be a lessor team on national television. To bad, so sad for the Lakers...

For those of us who are, shall we say, less than interested in athletics: he's trying to get himself traded. Phil Jackson, the Laker coach who's led Team Kobe to five championships in twelve years, has been going on and on about how he's retiring this year--or at least not coaching the Lakers anymore. The team's been falling apart for weeks now, and this game was the poop-icing on the shitcake. Dallas swept the Lakers in a four game series, losing this final game by 36. That's thirty-six points. It was a shitshow, and this wasn't even the only pouty, adolescent flagrant foul of the game. Bynum doesn't wanna stay in L.A., so he made it nigh impossible for the team to keep him. I don't know if the rez is good enough to see the expression on his face, but it's very "I don't give a severed rats penis."

Team Kobe was expecting to get handed another ring; they forgot about working for it. Fuck 'em all. Except Phil Jackson. Retire In Peace, Phil.

Go Lakers. Oh wait, wrong sport.

Wish I could quality this so much...

LeBron "What Should I Do?"™ James (he'll always be THAT to me no matter how many rings he has, he'll always be a coward, "I need to get a championship by ponying up on a team with all my all-star buddies and make the NBA season a complete waste of time except for us the Lakers and the team that might beat us because I might be moody...", etc... and his Heat are a joke; along with this years NBA season--which bears repeating. I'm a Jazz fan, so I can sympathize with having players that were on your team, but are whiny bitches (that's more a Carlos Boozer issue; plays great when he shuts-up and also shows up to the game as long as his bunion is OK)...

D-Will and Sloan just sucked. It'll be a bit before the jazz are working again. You can especially tell this, because we're losing our home games--which doesn't happen at all usually; atleast it didn't happen under Sloan...

Woohoo, I guess I can lose some weight with this method. And look, Lakers colored hands in the beginning! Even more awesome! [grin]

Bah, put in real basketball games. Lakers seriously need a new player.

Right, i think that's like telling someone:

"Would you please stop bitchin' about traffic and your expensive commute?

Welcome to the world of privatized helicopter services. Hello!
My Brother and I, after being stuck in traffic for 7 minutes, just OnStarred our HSP [Helicopter service provider] and they airlifted us and the car directly to our box seats at the Lakers game!

...I'm just saying, this is exactly what Helicopter Service is for in a country that has terribly planned, underfunded infrastructure."

Welcome to the world of privatized medicine. A call for an ambulance alone costs over $1000 just for it to show up.
If you're not insured in the United States and you need medical care, this is exactly what happens.
My brother broke his nose surfing, and after a 3 hour stay at an emergency room, our Insurance covered the whole thing. I'm not saying the prices are fair, I'm not advocating privatized medicine, I'm just saying this is exactly what insurance is for in a country that has privatized medicine.

I want to see Lakers!

I don't know if evil disco man is taking the piss, or if he genuinely thought this guy brought an orchid to a Lakers game for Kobe Bryant. It's funny, but you can't vote for it because it wasn't real? Of course it wasn't real - it's a parody.

Is there a Lakers one?

I hate the Laker fans.


Why do you hate me? I didn't riot. It's just the bad fans.
