Via You Been Blinded, a Denver news station captured Kenyon Martin's response to question about the plausibility of Martin's post-Game 1 trash talk about Kobe Bryant spurring K.B.'s 49-point explosion in Game 2.



We should note Kobe reportedly does not care whether Kenyon cares whether Kobe is angry.* In fact, Kobe warns in this Los Angeles Times piece that Denver's emotional state may help the Nuggets to a Game 3 win. I think the pending result has less to do with emotions than it does the ability of Denver to hit some threes (29% so far) and stop L.A. from shooting so well. We'll see.

Though of course if we must discuss "emotion," let's not forget the Denver crowd owes Kobe a chant, yes?

* This is made up.
