Anyone have the video with the subtitles of what Artest and Bryant were saying to each other?

Can't find it.

No, but I bet it was filled with expletives and very profane language!

In refrence to the last time they played each other.

Kobe " You still can't gaurd me my good sir!!!"

Artest " Fuck you motherfucka I don't need to gaurd you when you jack up 31 shots for 32 points".

Probably not that accurate, but thats how it sounds in my world.

yea, they showed it on ESPN and it was on youtube for a bit. Its removed now, but the convo went on for like 30 seconds. You can sort of make out what they were saying from their lips, but it would definitely be interesting to see what they were saying.

This should be a fun series, Arterst is def one of my favorite players he really cares about shutting down the superstars from the opposite teams.

He's amazing. There arent a lot of players who can play defense and score like he does...and if you asked him, he'll definitely tell you all about how good he is. But he's got that Rasheed Wallace/Ashley Lelie thing going on in which he just got too much going on to realize his potential.

But yea, I agree about the series. It seems like Kobe is going to bring the best out of him.

I totally agree will be a awesome and tight series. Still reckon Lakers in 6, can't see Fisher / Ariza / Vuochic (however u spell it) going 0-10 from 3 again, can't see Kobe jacking up 31 shots again unless he goes for 45+.

Would most look forward to Seeing Lakers v Denver. Denver really look the goods at the moment, top point gaurd, 2 quality big men and Melo, followed by a pretty sweet bench. I reckon the way Denver is playing they would take the Lakers out. Lakers need to learn how to D up the pick and roll better.

My 2 cents worth.

I feel like you are completely spot on. Rick Adelman is doing an amazing job putting the game in the hands of those 3 exact players. Trevor Ariza is an overrated shooter. He shoots something like 32% while being wide open on probably 95% of those shots. Derek Fisher is getting old and Sasha Vujacic is well, Sasha Vujacic. It seems like the only way that the Lakers can win if Kobe goes old-school kobe and plays 4 on 1 basketball and drops 50. After 1000+ games, you know he's not going to be able to drive around the Artest/Battier/Scola/Yao situation--fadeaways and turn around jumpers arent going to do it.

haha artest and kobe really go at each other. Cheap shot by Kobe, Artest really lost his cool last game. GO ROCKETS>

So the Lakers beat Houston comfortably, but Houston are inside the Lakers heads. Derek Fisher, what a stupid move, clearly needs to learn how to do a cheap shot with a bit of subtlety. Kobe hit some tough shots, but Houston would be happy with him taking those shots rather than driving to the basket. Still Lakers will win in 6.
