I loved every bit of Kobe hitting the floor. It's about time someone did it. As Kobe said, It's playoff Basketball ! Kobe laid down like a winny $itch after that. It was just the spark Phx needed to get back on track. I don't care who did it, the fact is someone stood up to him. Hell Tim Thomas swatted him down like a fly in game 7 on the way to the basket, no one's talking about that. What about after Raja took the elbow from Kobe, Jackson yelled to Raja, "you F-in deserved it" Though Jackson denies using the f word. I admit is wasn't the hardest elbow i've seen. Hell, Kobe was swinging his elbows all series. He took out barbosa with one in game 5. Point is Raja was in his head all series, which is what he does best. What about Luke Waltons under the legs clip of Tim Thomas a couple of games before it, The potential for injury was a lot higher that the Closeline. It's all history now. To take a quote from Barkley to Kenny Smith, Can we talk about the teams that are still IN the playoffs !!!!! out.
