omg :roll: LMAO!!!

[SacJB Shady]

Hibbert got thrown across the court and ejected!

[AKADS]

omg :roll: LMAO!!!
Hibbert will get a few games, maybe Klay gets a game.

A few fines. there were no punches and they all stopped when they relized they were that close to the crowd.

[lpublic_enemyl]

Pacers play rough and foul a lot something like this was bound to happen

[KG215]

They weren't just close to the crowd, they got into the front row in the corner a little bit.

[brandonislegend]

vid or didn't happen

Twisted ankle - out 2-3 weeks :lol

[SacJB Shady]

Hibbert didn't get his monies worth. They were talking about how Steph got up in half a second and is going to cost hibberts suspension. Conversely lee Frickin hit him hard. Then jack pushed him in the stands. Hibbert was embarrassing. Luckily bogut wasn't there cuz he would have ripped his head off.

[sixer6ad]

I'm glad to see this.

I could care less about either team, but Indiana has been starting to settle in as the definite 2nd best team in the East. They are going to need a little SWAG to get past Miami, and I'm okay with them getting a little nasty.

This is all about one thing: Eliminating Miami. It's really all that any NBA team wants to do.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

If Stephen Jackson were there... :oldlol:

honestly i was thinking that the pacers have come a long way, can't wait for them to play the heat again :pimp:

[Rockets(T-mac)]

I don't get how Hibbert got ejected. Lee started the whole thing with the shove, Hibbert shoved back then Lee pretty much checked him. Then everyone just converges on Hibbert. Curry was funny though, freaking fell down trying to get at Hibbert.

The one who retaliated is always the victim.

[InspiredLebowski]

Whole thing was stupid. Hibbert overreacted and it's going to cost him a big game against the Clippers. Just dumb.

Hibbert started it.

[imnew09]

Suspend the GSW starters for the season please!

LOL Giveee the Lakers a chance man

[Rockets(T-mac)]

Hibbert started it.By doing what?

[dbk123]

steph curry is an awesome player, but wtf was he thinking trying to push hibbert around??

[d.bball.guy]

Suspend the GSW starters for the season please!

LOL Giveee the Lakers a chance man
Disqualify them from the playoffs while they're at it :lol

[leopoldstotch]

Whole thing was stupid. Hibbert overreacted and it's going to cost him a big game against the Clippers. Just dumb.

Hopefully it isn't multiple games, because the Bulls are coming up. Clippers, Raptors, Bulls. Pacers can't afford to slip a couple of games with April looming around the corner.

[G-train]

Not sure why Hibbert will be suspended.
Lee pushed him, he pushed back, then both chested each other.
What was Steph doing? lol. hibbert tossed him aside. Suppose he could get a game for that, but Steph ran at him and grabbed him.
Jarrett Jack should be suspended though. He ran over and pushed Hibbert into crowd when he wasn't looking and there was no reason to.

[G-train]

I'm glad to see this.

You are a very sad person.

[G-train]

Hibbert started it.

No Lee pushed him first with excessive force on a box out.
Hibbert then pushed him back. Do you get a game these days for a push?

[Rake2204]

It was a bumper cars war. :roll:Haha, so true. I guess it's good to see players using their heads and knows better than to raise their fists? Still hilarious to see them opt to just bump into each other over and over though.

[Dubs510]

curry was trying to hold hiberrt and hibbert elbow him.

[Shepseskaf]

This will give Pacers' "fans" one more excuse not to attend games.

[Patrick Chewing]

By doing what?


Watch Hibbert as he's coming down the block. He slams into Lee with his shoulder on purpose. The paint was wide open, no need for that kind of thing. Lee took offense to that and retaliated.

[Legends66NBA7]

Steph Curry is a little bitch look at him trying to be hard

He's a little bitch for going up against a guy who is bigger, taller, and heavier than himself ?

Okay. :oldlol:

[SacJB Shady]

He's a little bitch for going up against a guy who is bigger, taller, and heavier than himself ?

Okay. :oldlol:


Hibbert is the one getting suspended

[Heavincent]

NBA "fights" are weak.

I still think the NBA should take a page out of the NHL's book and let players fist fight. The ratings would probably triple.

Get it done Stern.

[BuffaloBill]

The Pacers are always getting into it with other teams. The NBA needs a new "dirty team." The Pacers are that team.

[O_City_Thunder]

If Stephen Jackson were there... :oldlol:
.....he would have been swinging at innocent fans for no apparent reason.


They ain't bout dat life :oldlol:

[The Choken One]

Curry got more balls than most other players. Tries to stop Hibbert then goes at em.

KG would of been running scared. :lol

No, NBA players are black. Black people fighting is a national crisis and their would be calls for the league would need to be shut down. White people fighting is ok.

I'm not kidding, the malice in the palace was presented like the end of civilization but Hockey Brawls which spill into stands are some good old white on white entertainment.

[niko]

Looking at this with a totally unbiased eye which has nothing to do with the Knicks playing the Warriors next i think that whole GS 5 players on the floor deserve one game.

100% truth

[TeamLAC]

lol at curry even getting near an altercation... dude will blow away with the wind with his paper skeleton

[The_Yearning]

1. Nobody in the NBA wants to fvck with David West. Dude is a trained boxer.

2. David West actually got a hit in on Curry if you watched the video closely.

[brandonislegend]

He's a little bitch for going up against a guy who is bigger, taller, and heavier than himself ?

Okay. :oldlol:

Yes it was obvious he was just trying to look tough then realized he is built like a 12 year old and he should probably stop.

[niko]

David West was hilarious, that was the worst peacemaking ever. :lol Then he's like CHILL EVERYONE....

[SacJB Shady]

lol at curry even getting near an altercation... dude will blow away with the wind with his paper skeleton


Did he? No, he gave him a week shove and got suspended, so give Curry credit. He's not afraid cuz Hibbert wasn't and didn't do nothing but get himself suspended.

[SacJB Shady]

Yes it was obvious he was just trying to look tough then realized he is built like a 12 year old and he should probably stop.

he didn't stop

Yea and Jose Canseco was a trained black belt, look where that got him

[brandonislegend]

Did he? No, he gave him a week shove and got suspended, so give Curry credit. He's not afraid cuz Hibbert wasn't and didn't do nothing but get himself suspended.

Of course he's not afraid, no one was going to throw a punch and lose a bunch of money/games it was a pushing match

[bagelred]

Violet Palmer part of the officiating crew....what a shocker. :rolleyes: She's the worst referee, but the most job security.

[bagelred]

Looking at this with a totally unbiased eye which has nothing to do with the Knicks playing the Warriors next i think that whole GS 5 players on the floor deserve one game.

:eek:

:oldlol: Thanks Pacers. Appreciate the help. :cheers:David Lee suspended for his one game return to MSG.

[Marv_Albert]

So how does steph curry not get ejected? lil bitch

[bdreason]

We could end up losing Curry and Lee for a game. Lee for being a part of the original confrontation, and Curry or escalating it.

[boozehound]

yeah hibbert will prolly get 2-3 games

I would bet he gets at least one. made contact with curry's head with the elbow, then threw him down again. Not to mention he initiated the whole thing. Maybe curry gets one for going back at him, but I dont think anyone else will.

[DuMa]

Warriors should be glad David West only played the peacemaker role :lol
Lord knows no one wants to mess with those pipes

[NumberSix]

Warriors should be glad David West only played the peacemaker role :lol
Lord knows no one wants to mess with those pipes
They ain't trying to get those pipes.


btw, how many of Curry's ankles got broken during the scuffle?

[niko]

:eek:

:oldlol: Thanks Pacers. Appreciate the help. :cheers:David Lee suspended for his one game return to MSG.

He's hurt actually, they said he couldn't lift his arm after the game and it's very possibly regardless he might miss the game. To me Curry might warrant a suspension, him and West kept agitating the situation. And of course Lee and Hibbert.

[nerds]

Hibbert didn't get his monies worth. They were talking about how Steph got up in half a second and is going to cost hibberts suspension. Conversely lee Frickin hit him hard. Then jack pushed him in the stands. Hibbert was embarrassing. Luckily bogut wasn't there cuz he would have ripped his head off.

Knowing Boguts luck, if he was involved the guy would of got injured!

[LikeABosh]

West ain't shit. People talk about his fight training and how much of a badass he is... but everybody in the NBA in any recent year that has that rep is the same as everybody else. Scared to throw a punch and all bark.

That's why I laugh when people single players out as "fake tough guys". If there were any REAL tough guys left they would be throwing punches a la Oakley etc.
This. Fighting is pretty much out of the NBA. No one is scared of anyone. That's why you see Curry getting up in Hibbert and the bigs like that. You see little punks get up in Lebron's face because they know he's not gonna retaliate and whoop their ass. Picture Curry doing that shit on the bad boy pistons or a guy like Oakley. He'd get torn apart

[InspiredLebowski]

"Seriously, I didn't even feel him," Hibbert said of Curry. "I saw some light-skinned guy. I don't know if it was Klay Thompson or Steph Curry, I just knew there was a light-skinned guy by me."


:oldlol:

[SilkkTheShocker]

Warriors got punked :oldlol:

[L.Kizzle]

Weak era for altercations.

[Money 23]

No one throws hands. SMH @ Steph Curry and Roy Hibbert. Both are weak as hell.

Kermit Washington was a badass

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Washington#Infamous_punch

[mentallooser]

Seemed more to me like he just spun in reaction and it ended up throwing Curry down. He'll miss games, and hopefully Granger can get that shot back soon so we don't take too much of a downswing. His aggressiveness was very impressive tonight, and he seems comfy going left all of a sudden which makes me happy.

[KrizMiz]

watching it backwards - it looks like hibbert is kicking curry - and at the beginning its like a huge flop - hilarious backwards replay

david west could literally kill you with a single punch :oldlol:

[DuMa]

if only the Warriors wore their jerseys with their sleeves. it would have been much more memorable

[InspiredLebowski]

watching it backwards - it looks like hibbert is kicking curry - and at the beginning its like a huge flop - hilarious backwards replayyeah I saw that on Sportcenter, I was like OH SHIT ROY KICKED HIM?! But it was just a weird angle or something.

[andremiller07]

Didn't see anything worthy of a suspension, just a bit of shoving all good made the game a bit more interesting.

[LiLharvard]

yeah I saw that on Sportcenter, I was like OH SHIT ROY KICKED HIM?! But it was just a weird angle or something.

Your gotddd denG lucky Andrew Bogut wasn't limping around he would've use poor ol big boy Roy as a kick ball.

[Legends66NBA7]

Yes it was obvious he was just trying to look tough then realized he is built like a 12 year old and he should probably stop.

There's a huge difference in looking tough and actually getting your hands dirty. Curry could have just kept back and started talking shit when the refs were in between them. Instead, actually went up against a guy he shouldn't have messed with... but he clearly did, something someone who would only "look" tough wouldn't do.

Neither guy was going to fight anyways.

[InspiredLebowski]

I think initially Curry was trying to separate guys when he grabbed onto Hibbert then Roy swatted him away, which makes sense, some opposing player grabs onto you in a little brouhaha you're not about to think he has good intentions, then Curry was like **** that and went after him to do...whatever.

It's not a big deal at all, no one will even remember it by Friday.

Yo that bitch has Hulk strength or something! She picks up a table and hurls it across the room and catches chairs in mid air!seriously, that table probably weighs what, like 60lbs? and it's all long and awkward, bitch just chucks it

[iamgine]

At the very beginning of the vid, Hibbert ran full speed and just bump Lee to gain position. That should be an offensive foul right?

[InspiredLebowski]

Indy players are allowed to throw their bodies and hack the opposing players and they never get fouls called on them.

I'm glad David Lee said f*ck this shit and gave Hibbert a taste of his own medicine.

Don't get me wrong, I like Indy as a team and their style of play especially on the defensive end but you are blind if you don't think Indy gets away with more calls than other teams in the league

[Brujesino]

Not a big deal.I doubt anyone gets suspended the only reason to re watch it is to see Hibbert tossing steph aside twice.:oldlol:

Yea but who got suspended? And was Curry hurt? No! He bounced right back up and wasn't afraid and caused him to get two t's, plus that was Hibbert in pissed mode. Reality is Hibbert did Nothing to him! If anything, Hibbert was the one that got Moved into the stands and hit harder by Lee. Hibbert looked bad there, what an embarrassing way to not get your monies worth, get punked on by Steph, throw an ineffective sucker punch, and get supspended at the same time. That really is what truly happened, no matter how you try to twist it. Hibbert was a lot more heated than Steph and will be the one suspended. Steph did what he wanted, meticulously and pain free, suspension free.

[InspiredLebowski]

roy hibbert escalated this thing for no reason i dont know why the hell he's trying to throw people around who were clearly trying to break it upIt's pretty obvious. You're in a shoving match, some dude from the other team latches on to your hip...what're you supposed to do? Let him hug you to death or whatever Curry wanted to do? Or does a rational person think "this dude's not on my team and he's jumping on me, who knwos what the hell he's wanting to do, let's get this dude off me."

[nathanjizzle]

:44 danny grangers girlfriend going off.

[La Frescobaldi]

No Lee pushed him first with excessive force on a box out.
Hibbert then pushed him back. Do you get a game these days for a push?
whole country went limp wrist. you had john wayne and clark gable for movie stars now you got keeno reaves and shia la poof.
you had dave cowens and bob lanier in the nba now you got drain wade laying on the floor crying for a referee.
women took over and this is what you got.

[yobore]

If anyone should be suspended it's Curry and West (who got a shove on an assistant coach or something too). Curry escalated it and West came to the party late and just started shoving people.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

This is the timw when stern can help the lakers by suspending lee/curry for 10 games each

[Jolokia]

It's pretty obvious. You're in a shoving match, some dude from the other team latches on to your hip...what're you supposed to do? Let him hug you to death or whatever Curry wanted to do? Or does a rational person think "this dude's not on my team and he's jumping on me, who knwos what the hell he's wanting to do, let's get this dude off me."

This. Hibbert made an aggressive move trying to get post position on Lee (happens like every other game for any post player). Lee took it personal and shoved Hibbert high. Hibbert retaliated. Lee came back with an aggressive forearm. Hibbert tried to retaliate but got bumped by Jack. Stephenson pretty much cleared it up at this point and both Lee and Hibbert were going separate ways. Curry took the brawl into the next level by wrapping your arms around an opponent who was heated. Hibbert tried to get him off him which looked worse than it really was because of Curry's size. Curry came back as if he wanted to fight. Hibbert pushed him away. Jack pushed Hibbert off the court.

To be honest, I think Hibbert, Lee, Curry, and maybe Jack deserves a 1 game suspension. Not trying to take sides but by the looks of it, Hibbert didn't even want any part of this happening but got pushed into everything. He's a pretty humble guy and was only protecting himself. You can see it from him walking away at the end when everyone was still in the scuffle. I think Curry overreacted and was the only one who wanted to really fight.

Thank you. I wanted to stay away from this thread until I saw some reason...Unlike the first page where somebody immediately blamed the Pacers without even seeing the footage. But this is the best breakdown I've seen...

Don't get me wrong, I like Indy as a team and their style of play especially on the defensive end but you are blind if you don't think Indy gets away with more calls than other teams in the league
Maybe the other team shouldn't be so soft? Maybe they should get physical back instead of expecting the refs to save them...This is nothing new...Teams who play physical on a CONSISTENT basis are given more leeway to play physical because what are they gonna do, call a foul on every position because guys are getting physical? The 90's Knicks, 80's Pistons, 2000's Spurs, 2004 Pistons, 80's Sixers, etc, etc were all allowed to play physical because thats the teams identity...The Heat, Grizzlies, and Bulls also get away with the same physical stuff the Pacers do...This must be a new day when people think the NBA is giving preferential treatment to small market teams like Indy:oldlol:

Don't get me wrong, I like Indy as a team and their style of play especially on the defensive end but you are blind if you don't think Indy gets away with more calls than other teams in the league
i agree the pacer play a rough style and get away with a ton of fouls, still a great team tho

[lpublic_enemyl]

Maybe the other team shouldn't be so soft? Maybe they should get physical back instead of expecting the refs to save them...This is nothing new...Teams who play physical on a CONSISTENT basis are given more leeway to play physical because what are they gonna do, call a foul on every position because guys are getting physical? The 90's Knicks, 80's Pistons, 2000's Spurs, 2004 Pistons, 80's Sixers, etc, etc were all allowed to play physical because thats the teams identity...The Heat, Grizzlies, and Bulls also get away with the same physical stuff the Pacers do...This must be a new day when people think the NBA is giving preferential treatment to small market teams like Indy:oldlol:
honest i don't think the heat play very physical like the pacers, they definitely can, but their best ability is to switch and still defend extremely well

I hear you, but I think Lebron is pretty physical, along with Battier, Haslem, Anthony, even Wade....Well does him karate kicking people when he goes to the basket count? lol

1 game suspension each for Hibbert and Lee. I think it's retarded guys are suspending over freaking pushing, but at least they didn't do anything really stupid length wise.

Also $35k fines for each of Curry, Thompson, and Stephenson.

[unbreakable]

currys bitchass got off real light. shoulda been given a 5 game suspenssion

[DuMa]

Dammit. Lee is on my fantasy team. and its hilarious David West went unpunished when he freaking knocked Beidrins and Curry into the stands.

Violet Palmer part of the officiating crew....what a shocker. :rolleyes: She's the worst referee, but the most job security.

I was not shocked to see that she was the ref closest to the start of the brawl.

look at her, she doesnt even TRY to separate them. Most people will be like "OMG how can you say that, she's a woman", but most likely the players would think the same thing and would stop immediately if they saw her.

Accidentally pushing the league's most precious ref would make your pocket a lot lighter.

Damn, Stephenson just learned the price of keeping it real, he's definitely gonna feel that one.

I bet he asks David Stern to donate his fine to the Lance Stephenson charity :roll: :roll: :roll:

Players getting suspended now for pushing and shoving? King Stern at it again...

Nothing for Jack for pushing Hibbert into the stands?

[InspiredLebowski]

Nothing for Jack for pushing Hibbert into the stands?Or West. Jack also pretty blatantly just shoved a camera guy on his ass. I don't get the Stephenson fine, yeah he was in there but didn't do anything more than the other guys that didn't get fined.

[Droid101]

Awesome. Indiana will be missing Hibbert for the Clippers. Sucks. Would have been a great win too.

[mentallooser]

If the Pacers can some how pull off a win against the Clippers they will go a long way into putting some fear into the league as far as their depth goes. I don't know how they'll pull it off, but I think West is going to have to dominate and Granger will have to do more than just look agressive. He will have to be truly successful in his FG attempts instead of just being brave in taking them.

Holy **** he only got 26 games for knocking out one dude and nearly killing another? :biggums:


Like at least one poster said, it WAS a different time with regard to fighting in the NBA in 1977. Fights broke out nearly every night; teams had "enforcers" (on-court bodyguards for their star players) and "hatchet men" (whose job it was to take the other team's best player out of the game, either by deliberately injuring him or by provoking him into a fight which MIGHT get one or both players ejected...notice I said "MIGHT" because fighting did not always result in ejections back then) among other types of tough guys. Some star players, like Golden State's Rick Barry, also got into a lot of fights in those days.

For example, the 1976-77 season alone saw 41 fights which each resulted in at least one ejection. There were many others (including some major incidents such as Houston's Calvin Murphy's beatdown of Boston's Sidney Wicks and a playoff fight between Golden State and Detroit that went into the Golden State stands TWICE) that had no ejections. Newspapers only bothered to mention fights where punches were thrown, which tells me that pushing/shoving/wrestling incidents were largely not mentioned because they were so numerous that they were considered a normal part of a game.

Then-NBA Commissioner Lawrence O'Brien only instituted fines going up to $10,000 for fighting for the 1977-78 season. Before that fines were much smaller.

If anyone should be suspended it's Curry and West (who got a shove on an assistant coach or something too). Curry escalated it and West came to the party late and just started shoving people.

Nah I wouldnt give anything to Curry when it appears he was just grabbing Hibbert. Thats cool. What wasnt cool and maybe I saw wrong is West throwing punches at Curry. He should get suspended.
