Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never seen consecutive nights with nasty blocks on Kobe. First it was Robin Lopez with the chase down block, and now his former teammate Ronny Turiaf rising to block the Black Mamba’s dunk.

Not only was it a great block but it was also the first time I have seen Kobe get rejected and not look to the ref for the foul call.

Watching that game was funny.. lots of ex-Lakers are Warriors..
I was watching Farmar talk to Turiaf and weird ass Radmonovic walks up and sticks his finger in Farmars ear.. i bet Vlad always did weird shit like that.. id hate to have someone like that on my team lol..
Kobe and Turiaf always go at it.. When they were on the line during someones Kobe wasnt even worried about the rebound he was just messing with Ronny..
Funny game..

LakeShow84 says:
And you guys got to give Kobes credit..
he didnt give a shit about the block.. if anything he liked it.. woke up him up.. he went right back and COMPLETELY lost Ellis on a spin move..
Gotta respect true competetiveness like that..

Fun on the floor with Kobe and Ronny Turiaf

LOS ANGELES — At one point during the Warriors-Lakers game Tuesday night, Kobe Bryant tugged on ex-teammate Ronny Turiaf’s braids while waiting for a free throw to be shot.
The friends had lots of smiles on the court in the Lakers’ victory, even though Bryant had a dunk attempt blocked at the rim by Turiaf, who is from Martinique and went to prep school in Paris.
Bryant mentioned something about still having “a bad hand” with the fractured finger but then said: “I figured I’d do one for the French.”
Bryant was even smiling in the aftermath of the play. Asked if Turiaf boasted about it on the court at all, Bryant said: “Little brother would never talk (stuff) to big brother.”
Lamar Odom said of former Laker Turiaf: “Ronny’s great at timing. It’s something we’ve seen him do a couple times in practice.”

It doesn’t matter to kobe.

I wonder if Kobe saw the hate in his complaining, because he didn’t throw his hands up in the air and stare down the nearest ref this time. He just went to get back on D, though they did get a fastbreak dunk after the block.
Good game, too bad Turiaf bricked both FTs down the stretch.

man i love ronni. my single favorite basketball player in the nba. im a zags fan for sure. so i guess im a little biased, but he is the nicest guy with the toughest competitive attitude. on top of that, the guy came back from a major heart surgery to play at such a high level. dude is a warrior (no pun intended)

I’m still mad he isn’t a Laker. Wouldn’t mind the Lakes having both he & Ariza still instead of all the other waste. Mamba was going to over the shoulder that h&*. MAMBA IS ONLY 31. When it’s all said & done. I wonder what he will have accomplished. Even if he stopped today. He’d have to go down as a top 10 to most but to me a top 5 player ever. He’s just to damn good. Don’t like the guy personally but his game. I mean just his GAME. What’s next him killing in slippers. LOL
He did lose Monta on the whiplash move. Ellis almost made Kobe buckle in money time then lost & got a shot clock violation.

im a fan of the lakeshow and i gotta admit, i miss ronny’s hustle…unlike josh powell aka the elbow jumper aka pj brown wannabe…man lakers are barely winning games lately, thankfully BLACK MAMBA is playing is a** off with a broken finger + weirded out elbow + hyperextended knee….i want to ask PAUL PIERCE aka dr. dre’s huskier brother as well as dirk’s ‘two teeth embedded in your elbow’ Nowitzki to step up during injuries. Ronny should be getting more press if he plays for a contender, but what he is doing in GS, excluding his missed games..is something GS lacks..Biedrins + Turiaf + Stephen Jack + B diddy + monta would have been a nice treat for nba fans, ignoring contracts of course.
It is funny though when kobe injured his finger a few weeks ago and yet he was limping..dramatic effect i guess…GO LAKERS! BTW dime are you hiring
