Umm, the guy got booed BEFORE he made those comments. Philly fans are notorious for booing everyone -- they hardly need an excuse and seldom have one.
When? Where? Before he said that, Philly fans were proud that he was from here.
That was a false statement.
Okay, you berate Kobe for making derogatory statements about Philly and then you turn around and make a derogatory statement about LA. Hmm, kind of hypocritical, isn't it?
He made no derogatory statements, he just said he was going to take our heart out. As for me, I call things the way I see them. Are you suggesting that LA isn't phoney? IMO, it has more than it's fair share of fakes, the actors and all. There's plenty I could say about Philly too, but that's not the point. The point is that Kobe can diss the people where he's from if he likes, but he's no longer welcome here.
Kobe didn't shoot well last night -- but to say that it was all one person is a bit erroneous. Kobe is a better player than ANYONE on the Sixers team. And if he is used to getting preferential treatment from the refs, then why didn't he get it last night? Oh, because it exists in YOUR imagination?
If you'll note I wrote this previously in this thread: For all the props to Iggy, it really was a team effort to stop Kobe. It was up to the other guys to step up, and I don't think they can do it well enough to beat good teams. I was surprised the Sixers didn't try to pressure the ball more, they ended up playing a half court game most of the night. It's not characteristic of the Sixers to win games like that, it's good to see that they can.
I wrote the bit about Igoudala in response to this post by Reality:
I think this "Iggy" guy was given preferential treatment by the refs. No one steals the ball cleanly from Kobe. No one. Or blocks his shot.
He was the one who brought up "preferrential treatment" and implied that Iggy was getting away with things guarding Kobe. Frankly, I think it was the other way around. Those two shots that Kobe made at the end of the game intiiated with drives where he was pushing Iggy away with his off hand. The refs could easilly have called fouls on both drives. That IS preferential treatment. It can't be than anyone could pick Kobe's pocket clean is it? It couldn't be that Igoudala is quick enough and good enough to block Kobe's shot, could it? :bs:
Have fun with your third grade friends. I'm sure you're very compatible with them!
Anything else? :crazy:
