Gerald Wallace hospitalized for possible collapsed lung

[QUOTE=Lakers13]Wow, you can tell what posters have been fans of the game since 2000. Suspension? GTFO here with that bs, it wasnt even that bad, Wallace is just brittle. Back in the old days Bynum would have got a pat on the back and a "good job".[/QUOTE]
It doesn't matter, a precedent by the league has already been set with similar plays. Others have gotten suspended, and Bynum is no exception regardless of being a Laker. You and I may like the more physical era of ball, but that doesn't change what Stern has made the league today. It is what it is, and Bynum deserves at least a game in today's NBA.

[QUOTE=stephanieg]The more noteworthy aspect of this development is that a Laker was trying to protect the paint. Hopefully Phil benches him.[/QUOTE]
Phil benches him for a dirty foul? :rolleyes:

But was it malicious?

Shes being sarcastic...I hope :oldlol:

Yah I thought so, but you can never tell for sure.

[QUOTE=Godfather]Bring up a video of it to prove it...From what I remember Gasol had the ball raised and Morrison missed and Gasol like he always does made a big deal about it flopping to the ground.

Bynum on the other threw his elbow (do you block or strip the basketball with your elbow?), into Gerald's chest when the ball was well elevated over Wallace's head.[/QUOTE]
You are such an idiot. Maybe if you had watched the game you would have picked up some knowledge. Oh well I guess you just take somebody elses opinion, turn it a little and call it your own. boy I wish I was as stupid as you are.

I don't really have a problem with Bynum getting a 1 game suspension. He fouled Wallace hard and unfortunately Wallace got injured. In the current NBA, this is a flagrant foul and in some cases a suspension. That's something he'll have to deal with if it presents itself.

What I do have a problem with is that half of these idiots could care less that Gerald Wallace was injured and only post in this thread because they have an obsession with posting negative things about the Lakers and their players. Comments about Bynum intentionally hurting Gerald Wallace and being a dirty player just show how biased you are. Get a new hobby!

Bynum never intentionally meant to hurt anyone and it isn't the reason he might get suspended. Obviously what happened to Gerald was tragic and pissed off several people (me included) because it could have been easily avoided...

Anybody have a link to Morrison's foul on Gasol?

[QUOTE=vert48]Was Bynum's foul worse than Morrison's on Gasol? No.[/QUOTE]

I don't recall Morrisons foul on Pau, but I'm confident it wasn't worse then how Bynum fouled Wallace. Did Morrison seem to step on Gasol's shoe, make zero play on the ball, and use his elbow to "try to protect the basket" against Pau's chest, despite it being wide open due to both hands being on the ball above his head :rolleyes:

Bottom line equals, this should be considered to be a one game suspension, two max. And like I already said, if Haslem were to foul Kobe the same way, would you say it's nothing but a hard foul? Highly doubt it.

Morrison made NO attempt on the ball in any way. First he grabbed his shoulder, then he hit him in the head.

It was unintentional.

If Gerald's balls fall off, you people blame Bynum for it too?

:lol :oldlol: @ saying that is a harder foul then Bynum elbowing an airborne player in the chest, which was clearly exposed.

Are you seeing the same thing I am?

Grabbed the shoulder?

He tried blocking a player a good 4 inches taller than him and a massive wing span and on the way down his hand incidently touched Gasols head as Gasol made the dunk and flopped to the ground...

How on earth was that anything like what happened to Gerald???

[QUOTE=qrich]:lol :oldlol: @ saying that is a harder foul then Bynum elbowing an airborne player in the chest, which was clearly exposed.[/QUOTE]

I agree with you. Morrison's foul wasn't that bad because he slapped at Gasol like a 10 year old girl. Maybe it looks worse at a different camera angle but from what I see Gasol gets slapped in the head. If Morrison was stronger, he could have hurt Gasol. Luckily for Gasol, Morrison can probably bench the bar on a good day.

On the other hand, you obviously dislike the Lakers and Andrew Bynum so everything you say is biased.
