he didn't even prevent him from scoring, weak

[Pushxx]

He should be banned from basketball...that's ridiculous.

Bench and crowd barely reacts.

I'm from Perth and Jesse Wagstaff deserves that

so anything goes in this league

Nah the League needs all the support it can get so a bit of feistiness will get Aussie fans to the game plus ejecting a "star" import will do nothing for popularity.

That was pretty disgusting. Setting a pick doesn't merit a blatant elbow to the face. I don't know the whole story though. Funny how calm everyone was afterward. That might start a bench-clearing brawl in the nba

watch the screeners man. head is turned the whole time. Childress had no idea it was coming, that's just terrible defense.

its a completely legal screen. He leaned into it, sure, but I've seen way worse not called.

and he didn't even stop him from scoring. smdh.

Aussie Rules Basketball!

The story is that he was being abused all the game (hit and pushed) and the refs were letting everything go by. Not surprising considering the way he reacted.

I was at the game - Childress was being worn like a glove - was clearly being aggravated by the close attention - but this was uncalled for... It didn't look THIS bad live, but on the replay, wow - that is just disgraceful...

To be honest the entire Perth arena were kind of cheering / excited for him - until this...

I try to like the nbl but its a joke of a league

The refs are a joke

The coaches are a joke

Wagstaff is a joke, big idiot with no skill that plays rough he deserved the hit

[PleezeBehave]

Los Australian "Lakers" ??

[Ai2death]

Fvck Perth Wildcats, Wagstaff is a dirty chove

[Timmy D for MVP]

You know this shit happens often in this league or no one likes that dude because no one really reacted. A couple players kind of made a show of getting in Childress face but not really.

I'm not but just by watching the play I think it's gg.

Dude hit him with a stupid illegal screen and got popped in reply.

Edit: get outtta here. dude hit him in the throat with an elbow just the same. That was not a legal screen at all. He pushed into him.

read my post again. I already said he leaned into it. But the fact of the matter is there are way worse screens set in professional basketball that aren't called. You could call an illegal screen every other play in the NBA and you'd be right technically. Am I condoning popping dudes on every screen?

Childress got backdoored and accelerated into it not knowing it was there. If his teammate called it he wouldn't have flown into it.

And that still doesn't just allow you to assault a dude on the court like that. Next time, just clip him with your elbow, and make him remember. Handle it like a basketball player not an idiot.
