What a lot of people don't understand is just how high emotions are running on the court, that's a bi-product of playing so hard, at such a high level on such a giant stage.

Agreed. What I love most about physical games are, like you said, the hating each other (a respectful hate) and the pace the game works at. When the refs are tooting their horns every 30 seconds no player is going to be playing their best. Physical = intense and exciting.

For a more interesting discussion, what are everyone's top 5 favorite NBA players that DON'T play for your favorite team?
Mine:
- Dirk
-Tony Parker
- Mike Miller
- Hedo
- Aaron Brooks

Kobe isn't a dirty player, he's an intense player with a killer instinct. I find it odd that you actually LIKE games that are safe and boring, where everyone plays nice and pats each other's asses. That's not a fun game to watch at all.
I also find it interesting that you go out of your way to point out Kobe's "dirty plays", but when Dahntay commits TWO dirty plays in back-to-back games, I don't hear a peep from your biased mind.
By the way, glad to see you love the whities of the NBA!
Mine:
- Chris Paul
- Joe Johnson
- Chris Bosh
- Hedo Turkoglu
- Mehmet Okur
Don't hold me to that list!
