This is not a surprise and Jordan Farmar and Shannon Brown are suddenly very relevant players in Game 3. Farmar should start, while Brown will see plenty of extra run with Fisher out. Kobe Bryant received a retroactive Flagrant 1 for his elbow to Ron Artest, but will play in Game 3.

So IOW Kobe is on probation & the Lakers will have a better team in game 3.

Fisher is a cheap, dirty bitch. He was waiting for Scola while standing there. That was 100% intentional.

if ron artest doesnt go berserk after kobes elbow and get ejected do you still think that tape would of been reviewed and kobe would have received a flagrant foul??

I don't think so...but now he is on probation. It will be interesting to see how the series progresses.

A flagant definitely. I felt sorry for Artest after that play.
