Official Lakers @ Magic, game 4, thread

yeah just a light hit to his wrist, just like it was a light elbow to nelsons face....it was enough to make kobe airball....a player who has maybe airballed twice all year, he doesnt just airball on his own

Dude watch the reply instead of assuming that just because he airballed, someone slamed his wrist.

Yes it was but barely. The refs are going to miss calls like that. How can you miss an elbow to the face?

Its funny you guys can't even admit that Kobe should have been called an offensive foul! I'm so humored by this.

Calls go both ways. There was some no calls for both sides...it happens.

So I take it youre on the LA haters bandwagon?

Umm, he did hit him. I saw the replay many times, and Mark Jackson agrees with me. Kobe doesn't airball in the Finals

But the basic point here is if Dwight drained one of two of his freethrows, then Kobe wouldn't be in a situation where he elbows Jameer on the face purposly (lol jk).

I've personally witnesses Kobe airball twice this playoffs, of course I have never seen him not immediately run to the ref whining so he probably was fouled on all of them. Saying his wrist was slammed is a great exaggeration, he barely touched him on the foul through, as fo Nelson, he was flat out wrecked in the jaw by the Elbow. Could have been worse last time Kobe elbowed someone in the face they called the other guy for the elbow. Which the league later on admitted they screwed up :)

There is a difference between "hit" and "slam".

barely touched on the wrist....i wish this was on youtube so you could explain to me were the barely part was...i watched the replay about 8 times by the way

No doubt, him and Turk really choked shooting their freethrows.

Question for Lakers fans (and bandwagoners).

Was Kobe's elbow to Jameer Nelson a foul? Should it have been called a foul? If not, why? Enlighten me folks.

well u should ask the Magic Ref's....he was right there on top of the play, just look at the reply im sure it will be up soon, Kobe did not intentionally swing his elbow at jameer it was an inadvertent elbow and im neither a Magic or a Lakers fan so my Answer to you would be NO it wasnt an intentional Foul but "IF" the ref called it then it would have been a Legit call so
