From this LA Times article on the game. Someone is going to have to explain to me what Kobe's "tacos" quote means.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakers-clippers-20110117,0,7349251.story

"Blake just punked us," said Bryant, who scored 27 points.

"Lamar just had to make a stand," Bryant said, noting that Griffin had run through Gasol.

"He [Griffin] uses his body," Gasol said. "He still hasn't developed a lot of moves. He tries sometimes to go over your back, or shove you or jump through you. He's trying to play his game. That's about it."

Meanwhile, squandering the 12-point lead did not signify a trend of letting opponents off the hook, the Lakers said.

"There [have been] a lot of tacos," Bryant said. "We've really put the hammer down on teams. Tonight they capitalized on mistakes and Blake just ran through us. We didn't have anybody that was going to put up a stand."
 
Pau is a crybaby.

And why is what Lamar Odom did considered standing up to him? It was more like a little teenage girl getting her phone taken away.
 
That quote by Gasol is total bull****. Blake missed a three from the corner, the ball bounced off the rim back toward him, Blake hustled in to get the board, as was Gasol coming out to get it, and they both ran into each other at the same time. **** Gasol. These NBA players are a bunch of overpaid, soft dumbasses.
 
That's the second seemingly completely random taco reference on this board in two days.
 
apparently if the lakers win at home and hold their opponent under 100, they get two free tacos.

found this on the espn article though...

And then, in an Amare Stoudemire-eque nod to Griffin, Bryant seemed to take the rookie's side in the debate over whether he should be battling for post position at the end of the game.

"You play till the final buzzer sounds," Bryant said. "That's the way I grew up playing."

Good for Kobe.

Hopefully the Thunder players are aware you can't make contact with Lamar "tough guy" Odom. We wouldn't want to get his face dirty, what with his really cool reality show coming up.
