The Regime Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Most directly, some players felt Kobe Bryant took a cheap shot at Mo Williams in the third quarter. With Williams leading a run and scoring 12 consecutive points, Bryant came from behind him while the Lakers had the ball and slammed him to the ground without making a play on the ball or looking to try to get position. Williams went down hard, injuring his lower back, and the Cavs had to call timeout to allow him to recover. "We got under their skin, we were flying around, guys weren't making shots," Williams said. "You always want to see our opponent get frustrated and do something out of character." Team officials declined to comment but it is expected they will ask the league to review Bryant's actions on that play. He has been fined and suspended in the past for dirty plays.

The Regime Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) What a bunch of bull [expletive]! The Cavs still [expletive]in after their win. From what I remember, Kobe's collision was accidental. Edited December 27, 2009 by Confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) It looked like Kobe was running up court and bumped into Williams, and Williams either flopped or was caught off guard. It didn't look like he intentionally pushed him to the floor. Edited December 27, 2009 by bigdog17k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Lol who cares. Lakers lost, they acted like babies. They are still the best team in the league don't worry. Can't expect to win when you give up 12 points to Mo Williams in a row IMO. When you allow Mo to become a threat you are in trouble because that opens things up for LeBron. I missed the game though, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland's Finest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) That and then Fisher's flagrant don't forget....I'm surprised yet proud the Cavs won't let the Lakers get their cheap shots in because they lost "their" game. It's at the halfway point but look at the replay they show.....it's not the typical running into someone by accident. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNM28C0XNF0 Just saw the replay....if Kobe ran into him by accident, he would've tripped up a bit himself, but after running into Mo do you see how Kobe doesn't even wiggle and is still upright? He knew what he was doing.... Edited December 27, 2009 by Cleveland's Finest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Mo Williams slid, Kobe didnt see him and accidentally collided into him. It's nothing more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 That looked pretty intentional to me. I saw it live, saw the replay, and just watched it again on the video posted by CF. Clearly a frustration gesture by Kobe. I don't blame Laker fans for being in denial but there are just no excuses for that. Kobe clearly would have at least reacted if it was an accident. He just ran through him... you can't possibly say that was an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 What's pretty [expletive]ed up is LeBron barley touched Derek Fisher and he flops and they called the offensive foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 So first Kobe runs over Mo, then Artest falls down a flight of stairs... what's next? Pau Gasol will slip on a banana peel and break his leg. Seriously though, I don't see how anybody can dispute the fact that this was intentional. Now it is hardly anything to stress about as far as I am concerned, but it was definitely intentional if you ask me. Kobe knew what he was doing.

papertrail Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 How you can say that wasn't intentional is beyond me. You don't run over a guy and act like nothing happened, You can tell by Kobe's body language that he meant to do it. It's not surprising though by any means, Kobe's never been the cleanest of players. I'm a Kobe fan to by the way, I do hate the lakers though. I'm just being 100% honest & don't wanna get attacked by a hurd of lakers fan like i've seen in the past on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
