[gts]

[D-Rose]

damn. someone get a gif asap!

[oarabbus]

[JimmyMcAdocious]

[COnDEMnED]

This will surely help our tank.. good....gooooood..

[MVBallin2K]

And Young is out...the one guy who was doing something positive on the court in this game for the Lakers

[gts]

Kobe' giving Young some fatherly advice while the refs review the play

Flagrant 2 for Len, he's out

Young ejected

[dannywpt]

Was that foul really worthy of a flagrant 2? It was a hard foul and he fell awkwardly, but it's not like he tried to injure him or used way excessive force

[COnDEMnED]

Sweet. Lakers loss on lockdown. Perhaps next game he's out too? This Grammy trip is starting off perfect for the Lakers.

[JohnFreeman]

Nick Young is a f*ckboy.

[Uncle Drew]

You don't mess with Swaggy P.

[chazzy]

Lens foul was nasty. Young open hand shoved Dragic in the head. Might get a game for that

[Ratnik]

Stupid homer commentators talking about how Len grabed Young's shoulder :biggums:

[ispin69]

SwaggyP the heir to the Kobe throne. :roll:

[Patrick Chewing]

If I made these NBA salaries, you can foul me all up and down the court. Big babies pretending to be men.

[Thunderfan86]

I wonder why he didn't take a swing at the Morris brothers? :whatever:

They were in his face too :confusedshrug:

[It's A VC3!!!]

No but that Len guy is stupid. You can't just go swiping your hands and not even get close to touching ball. He hit him across the head/neck. Young probably shouldn't have reacted like that but the idiot Len guy needs to learn hard fouls 101. either grab the guy or go for the ball but don't swipe your stupid arm senselessly.

[chocolatethunder]

Loved it. Nick Young only went after the white guys. He's like a mini KG. What a *****.

[VIntageNOvel]

just when im worried about him didnt understand tanking instruction :bowdown:
lakers tanking naturally :applause:
it works in a mysterious way :cheers:

[wagexslave]

Lol. What a cowardly loser, cheap shots Dragic who had nothing to do with it. Wow what a badass! Give me a f*cking break. See you next game, you won't be missed dumbass.

[BlazerRed]

Loved it. Nick Young only went after the white guys. He's like a mini KG. What a *****.

Lol yeah two black dudes in his face pushing him the most and he ignores them both :lol

[wagexslave]

I wonder why he didn't take a swing at the Morris brothers? :whatever:

They were in his face too :confusedshrug:
Because he's a coward

[wagexslave]

How is there no game thread for a Lakers vs Suns game? I know Kobe and Bledsoe are injured but damn.

[ispin69]

He learned from Sensei Kobe to only fight smaller guys like Chris Childs

The brothers were gonna lay the smack down

[COnDEMnED]

Someone tell Jodie and Marshall they're supposed to clank those threes.. Bungholes are messing up the tank..

[gts]

I said f*** it and made one

Good deal

Like Mirza Teletovic, right? :lol


Len's foul was even uglier though. Real bad foul he should get a flagrant for that

[MUGEN]

Commentators are being such homers in that video. it was a hard foul and as immature as nick young is it's understandable he got pissed there. Rest of the LA team mates were no where to be found when the the Suns players were just casually pushing him away lol

Either way this is good for the LA tank

[G-train]

Len flagrant 2 smh.
How soft is the NBA.
Guy flies in out of control trying to dunk on him, and he got put on his ass.
NBA, where entertainment > basketball.

:biggums:

If you don't make a play on the ball it's a flagrant automatically :facepalm Len coulda given him a bear hug, he coulda jumped into Young and laid him out... dude just smacked Young in the face.

[G-train]

Morris twin wall of power quickly formed around Len.
They were just flicking Young away like a fly on a hot day.

Exactly, I found that shocking. I would be extremely pissed if I were Nick Young

[G-train]

:biggums:

It was a play on the ball, he just didn't reach it so he fouled. His head was between Len's hand and the ball, and he couldn't reach ball. so you just stand there and get dunked on?
If dumb player tries to dunk on you, you go for ball, if you cant reach, you foul.
NBA = soft. Young not even hurt.

Ever tried hugging someone at full pace trying to dunk on you?
It happens in a split second, he is trying to block him, but couldn't get to the ball.

NBA, where entertainment > basketball.I'm guessing the flagrant 2 was given only due to the Nick Young flare up. I know it makes little sense, but when there's a response like that it kind of makes everything else higher stakes. Had Young just shaken it off, I'd say there would have been a good chance Len would have only received a flagrant 1.

[Droid101]

If dumb player tries to dunk on you, you go for ball, if you cant reach, you foul.
NBA = soft. Young not even hurt.
If it was Bledsoe going up and Sacre delivering the foul, I have a feeling your opinion would be completely the opposite.

But, that's because you're stupid.

Man, Nick Young lost his cool there. :facepalm

[Pra]

Morris would of whooped his ass is why he punched Dragic instead lol. Smh. Dirty foul on Len's part though... Young will get a suspension and Len will probably get a fine.

[no pun intended]

the tank is strong

[Genaro]

Maybe NBA suspend him in order to help the tank.

[no pun intended]

good to see everyone contributing to the tank

like pau from last night

[iamgine]

Correct call. You can't slap someone on the face. Whether it was a flagrant 1 or 2, I'd say it's inbetween so either would be a good call.
[I]
Flagrant Fouls:
These fouls are considered unnecessary and/or excessive. There are two types of flagrant foul, 1 and 2. A flagrant foul 1 is unnecessary contact. This is usually when a defensive player winds-up and makes hard contact with the offensive player or makes hard contact and then follows through. A flagrant foul 2 has the components of a flagrant foul 1 and is unnecessary and excessive contact. This usually has a wind-up motion, hard contact and a follow through. Both fouls carry a penalty of two free throws and the team that was fouled retains possession. A flagrant foul 2 also results in an ejection of the player committing the foul once it is reviewed by instant replay. A player also is ejected if he commits two flagrant foul penalty 1

[iamgine]

It is not like he just slapped him without going for the ball. He was reaching for the ball but Nick Young's body prevented him from reaching the ball.

Regardless of the intention, from what transpires it was the correct call.

[chazzy]

Len flagrant 2 smh.
How soft is the NBA.
Guy flies in out of control trying to dunk on him, and he got put on his ass.

That's ridiculous. He swung at his head with both arms as if that was the ball and raked him across the face. Textbook flagrant 2

I've wrapped people but not someone with a full head of steam... so maybe then, I have accidentally hit someone in the head before while making a play on the ball. It didn't look like a play on the ball initially but you might be right.

But yeah, I haven't been in that situation in particular. I'm not even close to 6' so I GTFO of the way when dudes are goin in for a dunk, I'm not takin any charges in a pickup game :lol

[Mr. Jabbar]

swaggy p should have been lebronin' backwards instead of throwing jabs, now hes getting suspended, guess its good for the tank :applause:

that's the right way to tank man

[ZenMaster]

Like he didn't just blatantly hit him in the head on purpose, either that or he will be out of the league for terrible hand/eye cordination.

[senelcoolidge]

Why did Young hit Dragic if he had nothing to do with it. Young is just dumb...nothing new. Hard and bad foul by Len..big deal. Young was not hurt.
