NBA rescinds technical foul on Kobe Bryant from Game 6

[T-Low]

Common, Kobe is a franchise player. You should expect this. It's Kobe.

[ukplayer4]

it shouldnt have been a technical, the refs have been giving out bull**** techs all year for nothing.

[amfirst]

What difference would it make. The call already affected the game is slow down lakers momentum. The haters got their invisible technical and now they are still crying. Man we got a bunch of girls.

[StroShow4]

I don't think I've ever seen a post season which included so many controversial flagrants/techs/calls at the end of games.. and we're not even into the conference finals yet. Refs have done a poor job so far. At least they got this one right after a review.

[Slam13]

It was the right decision, and the fact that Kobe already has 4 technicals called on him shows that there is no favorism.

And LeBron is the league's diamond now not Kobe, so stop with the nonsense, this not series is not fixed and Kobe does not get superstar calls, that player would be Wade.

What's even more funny is that Laker fans find a way to see this as fair. Pathetic.

The league did do the same thing for Artest a few games back, do you even watch or just comment after reading what others say??
ISH is getting dumber and dumber by the day.

Do people realize how stupid their haterism/homerism makes them look and sound here??

I guess not because if they did half of the posts here would not take place.

Yeah you are right a LOT of folks here are ISH are TRULY PATHETIC.

Thats exactly what i was saying.


People, instead of discussing the real issue, which in my opinion is the sh*tty officiating......want to instead make this an individual issue against one player or another. I dont understand that one.

Yes they Did actually, so RoseCity while being sarcastic was actually correct.

[BigTicket]

Its too bad they can't rescind his 1st team defense status after his display against Shane Battier in game 4, would be the correct call.

You're absolutely right. RoseCity is another one of those morons who make "controversial" statements to get reactions...the best thing to do is ignore him.

[qrich]

No shit really. Obvious call here. Still think they don't view videos like they should.

[Peter Griffin]

I tell ya, I have never seen a place where if you say anything Pro Kobe Bryant, you get beat down by those who hate him! Its like going into a black street hood and saying the "N" word and then taking a beat down! I think im a actuallly afraid to say Kobe and follow it up with something good to say!

The Orange County Register reports (via blog): Kobe Bryant got a break from the NBA on Friday when league officials rescinded the technical foul he was assessed in the second quarter of Thursday’s loss against the Houston Rockets. The Lakers had petitioned the league, according to Phil Jackson. Rockets guard Ron Artest and Bryant collided near the top of the arc as the Lakers star was attempting to slip by Artest without the ball shortly before halftime. Artest was called for a foul, while Bryant was hit with his fifth technical foul of the playoffs, bringing him to within two of being suspended for one game.

3 more techs and Kobe is suspended a game. Makes you wonder can he keep his cool IF Lakers advance past Game 7.

probably would be told my coaches to not get into altercations or ask the refs for calls. he's smarter than that.

[oh the horror]

Has this playoffs been one technical and flagrant foul fest or what?

Does the league need money that badly?


Does anyone know if this year's playoffs are record setting in any way?


It SEEMS like it.
