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.

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.

Maybe the Magic are notorious for stink handing people.

Oh please.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
