So Kobe gets kicked out of the game...again. He is the nba leader and is fast approaching his one game suspension. He even got kicked out of a sonics game that they were leading by 31 points.
I'm picking on him for sure, but this can't be good for a team that every win matters more than any other season in the west.

I've been saying that he stops getting calls because he complains so much. If you complain about every single one then the refs just stop giving you calls. This is a bad pattern. Ask rasheed. Hey, maybe the refs will hate him more and take the spotlight off rasheed when these two meet in the finals.

Sorry Big B.....How do you expect the Pistons to win with that coach? I know they are a great team and everything, but I also have to question the Pistons players at times. I mean they've had as much talent as anyone in the past decade (Spurs too) but they always seem to lose when it matters. I don't know if I would call it "choking" but they are definitely the Buffalo Bills of the NBA.

Honestly, I believe the Pistons do have the best chance out of any team in the East to represent in the Finals. I really believe that the Celtics will falter in the playoffs as KG will fail to get it done AGAIN, but he will finally escape the first round. I would think that they would make quick work against the Nets, or the Hawks (I mean come on). Pistons (with the exception of last years debacle against Cleveland) have always showed up come playoff time and they will do so again this year.

I'm not sure I'd call Kobe a Rasheed; however, he is certainly doing a nice impression this year. And this year; he really can't afford it. Last night, the Suns lost. The Lakers had a great chance to get a nice comfortable lead with an easy schedule ahead AND they blew it. Kobe being ousted probably made no difference in the game but it means he can't afford to do this again. Foolish move on his part.
Course I'm sure the media will credit Kobe with the next Laker win indicating he got ejected like a Coach would to teach the team a lesson. For some reason, everything Kobe does that is a poor choice is converted into a "great leadership decision". LOL

STSL,
They have had their chances and blown them. The Pistons rarely make mistakes, but when they do, they pay for them dearly (getting rid of Ben Wallace, letting LeBron James walk all over them), but answer me this:
What makes you think that the Celtics won't choke? They haven't been anywhere in the playoffs for a long time. Their big 3, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce have never won a title and never have done anything special in the playoffs (other than '04 when KG got the Timberwolves to the WCFs, but that's 1 time). So what makes them the favorite over Detroit? They have the better record, and have beat us 2 times this year, but they don't have the playoff experience we do.
The Pistons have their flaws, but so do every other teams. The Pistons just can make up for theirs better.

Okay, I was at the game last night, Kobe deserved the first one, didn't see what happened on the second one but he probably deserved that too. BUT, do not say this cost them the game (it might cost them a game if he has to sit out 1 game before the end of the season) because they were down by i believe 14? 16? with 3 minutes to go and they did not have a chance.
Kobe does need to fix this part of his game it is unexceptable, but he is not like Rasheed.

Big B, by the logic that Boston beat Detroit twice this year.. Chicago would advance over Detroit. HAHA.
