Game 2: Kobe the Douche

Anyone else sick of Kobe Bryant making those ridiculous faces everytime he scores a basket? In real-life, see a guy strutting around with such arrogance, and you call it as you see it - DOUCHE BAG. Not surprisingly, Los Angeles is the city that has come to love and adore such a douche of a dude.

Htowners, and most of the country, on the other hand...well, we like to rally around guys who have a little more substance - Hakeem the Dream, Clyde the Glide, Rudy T, Yao, Ron-Ron, Shane, Luis, and pretty much every other player on the current Rockets roster.

That's why this series means so much to Houston fans. Sure, we want to advance to the next round of the playoffs, but wiping that evil smirk off of Douche's face would just make the accomplishment that much sweeter. Just like Detroit and Boston before us, we'd prevent Douche from obtaining his fourth ring and sustain our faith in good over evil. High the stakes are indeed.

Speaking of Douche, my friend had a freakin' brilliant (yet sick) idea for games 3 and 4 in Houston. Find the Colorado girl who accused Douche a few years ago, and place her courtside for both games. Again, definitely a sick idea and possibly one I should be avoiding like the plague but simply too brilliant to not share on my blog. Just imagine Douche's face upon seeing her!

Otherwise, we can settle for a "Douche Bag" chant everytime Douche touches the ball.

Finally, according to ESPN's J.A. Adande, Douche should be suspended for the elbow he threw at Ron-Ron. Here is his explanation:

"Most significant is an elbow Bryant threw that caught Artest in the throat as they were jockeying for position under the basket. The NBA rulebook states that a player must be ejected for 'An elbow foul which makes contact above shoulder level.' By the standard that's been set in these playoffs, Bryant should be suspended. Orlando's Dwight Howard was when he elbowed Philadelphia's Samuel Dalembert in the head. Superstar or not, the head and neck have been deemed off-limits for elbows."

Either way, Rockets aren't backing down from anybody...
