You'll get yours, Raja!

For anyone that missed the brutal flagrant foul by Raja Bell on Kobe Bryant last night, check here.

The announcers started going on and on about whether he was going to get a suspension for it, as he is about the only guy that can even come close to guarding Kobe. Of course, you could argue as to how good a job he's doing seeing as the Lakers were up 3-1 in the series before Phoenix won last night, but that's neither here nor there.

My point is that after seeing Kobe's reaction to the clothesline/headlock/take-down move by Raja Bell, I'd be shitting myself if I was the Suns. He got that "who the fuck do these people think they are?" look on his face, gave the crowd a disdainful look (the game was in Phoenix, and the crowd cheered when he went down), grabbed his jersey near the left arm hole, and just gave it a quick pull and let go (kind of like the Jay-Z "brush your shoulders off move"). If he doesn't have a transcendant game on Thursday to eliminate the Suns, I'll be shocked. Home court, killer instinct woken up by Raja Bell (yes, he's one of those players you always seem to have to call by his full name...), and I'd be ready for a very Jordan-esque "I'm pissed, and I'm going to take it out on you" explosion from Number 8. Should be fun to watch!

Incidentally, I'm glad I'm not the only person who is inexplicably cheering for Kobe these days....
