Owner Real Deal Posted March 8, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 See it for yourself, and listen to Mark Jackson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSxgTJQvzXg And I absolutely love the ball fake, right in Kobe's face, and Bryant doesn't even flinch. Foreshadowing to him dominating Barnes' life the next time they meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I wish we had another Lakers-Magic game this year. Maybe in the finals? Next year all will be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted March 8, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Odom wasn't happy with Matt Barnes' aggressive play, yelling to reporters that Barnes was a "monkey" and picked a good game to "act tough." @Mike_Bresnahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year all will be forgotten.Too bad Courtney Lee wasn't defending Kobe. He actually played good defense against him, good physical and legit defense, without the garbage in between. Even Pietrus does it without the baggage. Barnes is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChili Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 On the first one Kobe lashed out before Barnes did, and when Barnes gets in his face Kobe puts his hands in the air as if he didn't do anything. The second time, once again the same thing happens. After Barnes dunks in the put back Kobe elbows Barnes on his way down and then puts up his hands when Barnes gets in his face. Barnes was guilty of a few things out there, but then again so was Bryant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just loved how Kobe tried to act so innocent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes was guilty of a few things out there, but then again so was Bryant.Wait, what? Barnes elbowed Kobe on the way down from that dunk, clear as day. If you didn't see that, you need to take your star-studded blue glasses off. And the clip doesn't show Barnes drilling Fisher with an illegal screen and knocking him to the floor. That screen was almost as bad as those that Kevin Garnett was laying on smaller point guards, and it was obviously intentional. Punk move by a punk player, who will get lit up, eventually, just like he did in that fourth quarter. Gonna be fun. EDIT: Forearmed him in the face, or hammer fist, whatever you want to call it...right in Kobe's face. Clear as day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Its so funny you guys say Kobe is also the bad guy here yet every time Barnes goes at Kobe he just puts his arms up into the air as if to say "Im not doing anything here." And Kobe doesnt say ANYTHING back, he just keeps chewing his gum. Magic fans enjoying the game through those homer glasses I see.

Jenneral Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 It really doesn't matter. The Magic got the job done without the help of Barnes. A wins a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted March 8, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Forget the thread. Barnes doesn't deserve a topic in this forum. Bryant put him to sleep in the 4th anyways, and it was just a miss by Bryant on that last game-winning shot attempt, definitely not on the level of Wade's shot-contesting, or what elite defenders have done against Bryant in the past. As long as the video is out there, it's all good. Topic closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
