He can just shoot over them.<br /><br />In a Cavs-Lakers Finals, Bynum, Gasol or Odom are all good bets to get into a scrap with Andy. Kobe would pull a Pedro Martinez and hide behind the nearest big body.<br /><br />Kobe can be an intimidating player, but not physically. That's why Mitch Kupchak has tried to surround him with seven-foot goons.Eriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-25495525951535938912009-04-14T14:07:00.000-04:002009-04-14T14:07:00.000-04:00Maybe AV can get Kobe kicked out in game 6 or 7 of...Maybe AV can get Kobe kicked out in game 6 or 7 of the Finals then.Grahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-58709864480160368192009-04-13T11:53:00.000-04:002009-04-13T11:53:00.000-04:00Not sure when Hafner's contract is up, but I could...Not sure when Hafner's contract is up, but I could see a DH platoon of Manny and Thome a couple years from now as they move towards 600.LargeBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231452147187641675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-74440513091428778552009-04-13T10:34:00.000-04:002009-04-13T10:34:00.000-04:00And the entire time he's smiling.

He knows he's being an ass and he loves it. <BR/><BR/>I've been waiting for him to get clocked for years now (I think KG was REALLY close during a game in Minny) and I really hope this postseason is it.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210862608619471273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-66459319144631979272009-04-13T10:17:00.000-04:002009-04-13T10:17:00.000-04:00Wedge and Shapiro would be 100 percent against thi...Wedge and Shapiro would be 100 percent against this, since it would involve bring icky outside influences into the organization, influences that could potentially corrupt the culture of groupthink that Wedgiro has so carefully cultivated. <BR/><BR/>Observation on the Varejao nutshot yesterday: I think we've moved one step closer to Andy getting decked in a game. It's going to happen at some point. Dude just has all the ingredients of a player who is going to get cold-cocked at some point. He took Ray Allen down with a wrestling move, for crying out loud. Not that I condone Allen's elbow in Andy's groin, but it was provoked.<BR/><BR/>The thrashing, the charge-drawing, the draping himself over guys, the whining when he gets called for a foul. Andy is the perfect example of a guy you love when he's on your side, but you detest when he's playing against you. I'm just glad the Cavs are playing with one of these types of guys instead of against him, for a change.Eriknoreply@blogger.com
