Kobe Bryant has a history of letting his flailing his arms out of frustration. In 2006, Kobe was suspended two games for elbowing Mike Miller. In 2007, Kobe was suspended...

The NBA announced their All-Defensive first and second teams today. Complete breakdown here. No Blazer made either team but three received votes. Joel Pryzbilla got 7 votes including a first team vote and would have made the cut if a third-team existed. Sadly it does not. Brandon Roy received a vote as did Travis Outlaw. [...]

Ron: "I've been in the stands before"

Raheel, Nuño break down Game 6 but Ron Artest steals the show -- Raheel Ramzanali and David Nuño give their thoughts on the Rockets big Game 6 win and mix in postgame clips from Rick Adelman, Yao Ming and Shane Battier. Ron Artest, however, steals the show.

Artest ejected, Lakers win

This game was a lot closer than the final score (111-98) would indicate. With about seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter and the Lakers up 10, Kobe and Artest were fighting for position under the basket and Kobe caught Artest in the throat with an elbow. (It looked intentional to me.) Amazingly, Artest was called for a foul, and when the ref wouldn’t listen to him,...
