That wasn't a punch.

I know he doesn't mean it, but it looks like a punch:roll: :roll:

[Derka]

It was less of a punch and more of a backhand slap to the dick-n-balls.

Totally should have been a foul and I can't blame Frye for reacting the way he did, but KG shouldn't have got tossed for that.

[Harison]

Talk about overreaction. KG barely touched Frye's groin and fans (and I'm sure, media will too) start speaking about punching and whatever synonyms they can come up with :oldlol:

[copper]

so kg finally came outta the closet on tv huh? ya knew it wouldnt be long before he was grabbin a fellas balls in public, simply outta habit

[NotYetGreat]

Lolz, there was this Slammadamonth where it looked like he slapped Bron in the balls during the ECF when he was in the middle of getting dunked on. :oldlol:

Didn't see this part though. When in the game was this?

[gts]

if he got ejected for hitting another player he'll be suspended for 1 game minimum

Easy win for the Lakers.

why was he ejected?

why was he ejected?
Because of ref stupidity? Announcers were dumbfounded too.

hell, Duncan was ejected for laughing on the bench.

[DuMa]

a love tap. and no kg wont be suspended. dream again laker fans

[gts]

a love tap. and no kg wont be suspended. dream again laker fans
they very well could rescind the technical.. i didn't see the game but if they don't it's an automatic one game suspension for hitting another player, or should i say "striking" as not to offend those easily upset..

did the refs review the play before they ejected him?

[flipogb]

a love tap. and no kg wont be suspended. dream again laker fans
I know he won't , he could have punched the ref and still play on Sunday

[LaysUpBricks]

Not much of a "punch"

It looked accidental to me.

http://oi56.tinypic.com/2je4q2t.jpgNo it's not, but it looks intentional

[kentatm]

IMO he should have been booted when he was jawing with Pietrus earlier in the game. It looked like he threw refs arm aside who was trying to hold him back. Touching a ref like that is supposed to be an automatic ejection isn't it?




hell, Duncan was ejected for laughing on the bench.

I have said this a million times before here but I will again say I was about ten feet away from the Spurs bench working the game as a cameraman on the baseline and Duncan flat out lied about how that went down. He was ragging the refs all night but instead of saying things directly to them he was saying things in their general direction that were clearly intended as rips on the officiating.

[Norcaliblunt]

He undercut Frye for the second time, I think that's why Frye got pissed. The nut shot was just extra.

[B]

Arm isn't even raised up in a attempt to block the shot or distract the shooter.

[Force]

What Kobe did last year to Iggy was more blatant than that and nothing ever came of it, no fine no ejection no suspension.

KG didn't do any thing, Frye accidently landed on KG's foot.

[csklmf]

Fyre purposely extended the length of his "thing" to make Kg punch it so he could get a shooting foul. He also purposely step on KG's foot to try to make KG injured. Fyre is such a bad guy.

oh well...I guess that will mean that the Lakers will win against Boston on Sunday and Chicago will win their 7th NBA title by this year's finals.

yea the love tap wasn't the problem to me, it pissed me off that it was the second time he purposely put his foot under frye so he could land on it. ***** move.

Earlier he went after Pietrus...And Frye its not like Fry is the baddest mofo in the league either:lol

[InspiredLebowski]

It's a one time thing, so far. KG's a cocky dickhead loudmouth that plays physical, but he's never been my definition of "dirty." Accidents happen, and soft as Frye is he does talk, dude got Roy Hibbert heated last year and Hibbert's the nicest guy on earth.

[tommy3]

Lol. Frye was not pissed because of the "punch", it was about the Bowenesque move that KG made. Anyway, Frye really surprised me, I thought he was a soft ass *****.

[Gevz2kX]

He didn't instigate that. Pietrus hit him in the neck. What was he gonna do walk away after that?

Nah man he's pretty brutal, but that's OK. Wish guys would retaliate more often though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h9J20n9_kQ

He should try and pull that crap on Lamar, would be fun to watch.

KG is just a very dumb man. Watch him go into his retard scrawling mode as soon as Frye stood up and said something to him, and this is after he just tried to take a guy out with the step under the shot along with hitting him in the nuts.
Usually people have be drunk or be on drugs to get into this mode after they did something so blatantly obvious to another man, only the really fked up ones can get into this retard mode while initiating the conflict themselves without being intoxicated.

You just tried to sprain another guys ankle for the 2nd time in game and on top of that you hit him in the nuts on purpose. Just let him be mad.

Bruce Bowen was one of the dirtiest players ever, but he proved you didn't have to be retarded along with it.

[kumquat]

Yeh KG didn't do shit against Pietrus cos Pietrus was ready to go. ***** KG.

Especially Doc Rivers, of all coaches. He literally spends all game barking at the refs.

On a side note, I'd love to see Perk vs Gortat. :eek:

[kkling]

It wasn't a punch, but it doesn't take much effort when we're talking about balls.

KG is a *****, nothing new.

[jasonresno]

Why people respect KG, I'll never know. He's the ***** at the gym that ruins the game for everyone.

[SoCalMike]

It will be interesting to see what the league does. I was watching the game and I was totally shocked that KG did two things on that play... first he hit (touched, punched, massaged or whatever) Frye in the nads and then second, he put his feet under Frye's feet as he was coming down, which could risk serious ankle sprain, etc. He had to know what he was doing.

I dont know what the refs ejected him for, or whether it was for contact with Gortat or whatever, but when the league reviews this, I will be curious to know what the outcome is.



:pimp:

[StroShow4]

That certainly doesn't look ejection or suspension worthy to me. Maybe just a foul for hitting Frye in the nuts and then a T for aftermath.

how is that not ejection/suspension worthy? one could argue he punched frye in the nuts... is that not the rule?

even the motion of the "punch" was not natural if you think about it. frye was in a jump shot motion and somehow he gets hit in the groin? if kg were really challenging the shot, would he have not tried to block or alter the shot higher up?

what the heck was he doing down there????

:pimp:

I criticize KG for his shennanigans as much as anyone else on here, but this doesn't seem like a big deal to me. KG wasn't even looking... he reached his arm out and kind of moved closer to Frye until his hand tapped him in the balls. It's definitely not a "punch" or a "slap" or any type of "strike" or whatever earns you a suspension. I'm not saying it was, but I can see this being an accident, even for KG.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FASClJTnJ4I

[w00terz]

After watching the video, I don't think it was intentional. KG, as much of a d-bag as he is, was staring up as he did it. If it was premeditated, he wouldn't have been looking up but rather, looking at where he wanted to get his "shot" in at Frye's nuts.

[Miami2010Champs]

he didnt get ejected for punching him he got a technical for after when frye got in his face. and he already had a technical from earlier.

technically speaking, 1 dudes hands should never touch another mans trouser tackle...NEVER. That alone should warrant at least a 1 day

[Pointguard]

The punching in the nuts happens in your first practice and games in division one. Frye was clearly annoyed at that move as he motions it to the ref as the fracus is going on.

I didn't see the earlier incident but I believe Pheonix had a counter move. Pietruis seemingly was instructed to go at Garnett, they set Garnett up. Frye seemed intentionally mad and figured they could get KG ejected. Smart move on Pheonix part. KG didn't have a lot of time to figure he should punch him in the nuts and then intionally plant his feet under him. Its possible if you had boxing training but... .

A couple of things here: Frye wasn't hot, the game wasn't on the line, so there would be no strategy in risky behavior toward him, and its crazy to think suspensions will come out of this.

[pete's montreux]

I didn't see the game unfortunately, so I'm just going off on the replays and clips. It looks unintentional to me. KG was looking up when he did it, and everyone knows when you're running at a guy 99% of the time you're going to end up putting a hand on him one way or another even if the guy gets a shot off. It's like setting up for an inbounds play. Every defender has a hand on the offensive player. If you get what I mean.

Technical sure, ejection? Maybe. But suspension seems like complete overkill.

Also, Gortat wanted nothing to do with Perk.

It's funny how the two toughest players on my team is Perk and Nate. :(

[LakerDefense8]

If he wasn't playing the Lakers on Sunday, he would probably get suspended. But since he is, he probably won't be.

[Droid101]

If you don't think it was intentional, you are a Celtic homer, period.

Don't just watch it from the angle from the back, you can't see that his hand is in one position the entire time... then extends right as Frye releases the ball in order to "maximize" the effect of his "tap."

Channing was pissed about the undercut AND the ball slap, because when he fell down, he was clutching his groin.

I agree that KG should have already been tossed earlier when he got into it with Pietrus, so I wasn't surprised that he got tossed after the slap.

KG is a dirty player. This everyone knew. But now he's reached Reggie Evans levels.

[Droid101]

Frye seemed intentionally mad and figured they could get KG ejected. Smart move on Pheonix part.
Um, what? The Suns were in total control of the game at the point of the incident. KG would not have changed the outcome of that game. Maybe the Celtics would have lost by 10 instead of 17.

Maybe.

Why are people saying he should have been tossed for the pietrus incident? He didnt even get a tech foul then. It was a flagrant foul on pietrus for punching him in the neck and nothing else. What are you people on about, I've also seen the fake for the groin and had it done to me to put off shots. It works and perhaps what he was doing, or just reaching out to get a hand on his player once the rebound occured. Or he could have been sack tapping the guy how would any of us know.

People will defend any action their favorite player does.

I used to be a KG fan from way back in the 90's when he played here and into his Minnestoa days, But in his later career, he's become a fake tough guy that plays dirty and talks shit but never backs it up.

He's a huge asshole and hope he gets put in his place by someone not afraid of a fine or suspension.

[bagelred]

It would have been fun to see Frye just clock KG in the face with a right hand. He deserves it.

[Phenith]

The fact that it was the 2nd time in the game that KG had stepped under Frye and the fact that KG had no chance to defend the shot, yet hit Frye in the balls and got under him landing really made that look really cheap on KGs part.

[Glide2keva]

No that's tough defense :rolleyes:

[ihatetimthomas]

I have no respect for guys who go under players to try to injure them. KG of all people should be a guy who wouldn't want another player to sustain a bad injury. Just plain ridiculous. And if he did it 2 times, that is just plain wrong. I got appreciation for his game, but KG is scum

[XxSMSxX]

or, he didntg wanna be on the ground when kg came back for a second grope

Hey all im sayin is when i get hit in the balls it feels like I got smashed in the stomach with a sledgehammer. Channing fell on the ground, rolled around for a second and then jumps right the hell back up like nothing happened. I've never seen someone recover that fast from getting smacked in the groin.

[Lebron23]

Randolph wants to play in the All Star Game. He's averaging 20.5 ppg, and 13.1 rpg this season. He definitely deserves a spot in the ASG because the Grizzlies have a decent record.

First of all, Garnett isnt known for deliberately injuring others, just because he runs towards someone and from inertia sometimes slids under, doesnt make it intentional.

Second of all, you as a Laker's fan should know Kobe did it many times, unintentionally too. Like he slid under Perkins in '10 Finals and it ended up with actual injury, yet I dont blame Kobe since it was an accident IMO.
