  And another miss.....
• Fly4Fun

  

  Carter misses his first FT at the wrong time.
  
  FT's seem to be killing the Magic as tehy try to close this out.
  
  2 point game with 10 seconds remaining.

  The closer, the black mamba, closing seconds...
  
  BRICK LOL
• Fly4Fun

  

  Kobe tries another long 2 ball and misses. Magic hold Lakers off...
  
  Certainly helps the Cavs with LeBron out.

  Nio shit! Where's the sportsmanship from the Lakers?!?!
  
  Have to answer for that with all the shit the Cavs got because of it--specifically LeBron.
• Fly4Fun

  

  Maybe the Magic are notorious for stink handing people.
• wildcats20

  

  Oh please.
  
  FWIW. It doesn't bother me that players don't shake hands after a game, this isn't little league.

• skank

  

  He may have already done it.

  After watching that game, I now dislike Matt Barnes. What a punk he is deliberatley trying to instigate things the whole game with Kobe and Fisher. Then crying a river afterwards. What a bum.
• Sage

  

  Yea, Matt Barnes, as burt07 elegantly put it, is the first 6'7" dude with short man's syndrome. Really would have loved to see the Magic choke this one away, especially given Matt Barnes' antics.
  
  Also, the reason people gave LBJ shit is because he had just been eliminated in a play-off series. I don't remember it being some crazy hooplah about it, but Cavs fans seem to have a lot of vitriol from that, since they bring it up anytime somebody doesn't shake hands.
• devil1197

  Barnes antics?
  
  Like Kobe was completely innocent elbowing Barnes after the dunk and then putting his hands in the air only to then walk directly into Barnes.
  
  Fact is both players were acting like little bitches. Barnes got the best of it as he hit the clutch 3 and ORL got the W.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Yeah come on dude, there is no way you can say they weren't both acting like little bitches.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  And not only did Barnes posterize him, he hit that big three over him and shut Kobe down for loooong stretches in this game.
  
  Nothing more than a bad day for Kobe Bryant and a good day for Matt Barnes. Not shit talking him, that happens from time to time, but he was definitely frustrated and being just as big a bitch as Barnes.
• Sage

  

  First of all, Matt Barnes should've cost his team the game with the cheapshot pick he laid on Derek Fisher. Secondly, he shouldn't have even been in the game. He should've immediately been ejected for acting like he was going to throw the ball into Kobe's face (which Kobe didn't even flinch) during the inbounds pass.
  
  He is an NBA journeyman on his 7th team in 7 years. He acted like a complete bitch and should've been tossed multiple times. This is worse than the DeShawn Stevenson-LBJ rivalry, but I'm sure both players didn't "play like bitches" during that, now did they?
• SQ_Crazies

  

  No, whooping his ass and hardly acknowledging him on the court and then having Jay-Z make a song for you and playing it in HIS bar doesn't really qualify as acting like a bitch.
• cview

  Matt Barnes is a little bitch. I'm glad somebody brought up the Stevenson-LBJ "beef" because this is similar. Matt Barnes didn't win anything, the same way Stevenson never will. At the end of the day, he's Matt Barnes, he's Deshawn Stevenson, and the other dudes are Kobe fucking Bryant and Lebron fucking James. End of story.

  Mariano Bryant is in a slump.
• Sage

  

  Yea he only dropped 35 today.
