You must watch this.. Zaza Balboa

I am not sure if Zaza will be suspended, but they still got Etan Thomas, Hilton Armstrong, and Josh Powell as bodies backing up Jason Collins. Obviously Zaza is better than all of them against Dwight. But desperate times call for desperate mesaures.

This series might go game seven baby....:oldlol:

[QUOTE=kidachi]that's what I remember too.. and KG never makes eye contact in a fight if they're still close to one another :oldlol:[/QUOTE]

LOL, the pictures say otherwise, unless hes somehow not making eye contact with his eyes nearly contacting zaza's....

Kurt Thomas will give the torch to Zaza.

:cheers:

[QUOTE=niko]This will cost Atlanta the next game. He's going to be suspended, both of them. And Atlanta will have no centers to play Howard.[/QUOTE]

Well what's he going to do drop 45-20?

Dwight can't beat us by himself

I hope magic win these series so we can face with them.

[QUOTE=KelticForce1349]Ha ha ha. Because real men slap other guys rather than headbutt. [/QUOTE]

J Rich obviously would have done a lot more than slap had he not been held back. You saw the footage right?

[QUOTE=KelticForce1349]You are such a joke.[/QUOTE]

Really. I'm a joke? I'm not the one who goes around this forum throwing around insults and then sending PMs apologizing.

You're the joke my dude.

Not like j rich was contributing anything anyway

ZaZa kind of reminds me of a euro version of Perkins. Always angry :lol

With J-Rich being non-existent these playoffs, this decision is worse for the Hawks since they lose a big body to throw at Dwight.

That said, the pressure is on the Magic to avoid the 3-1 hole.

3 headbutts, and a couple of shoves and palms, Dwight held J-Rich back.
No punches thrown, why suspension? Let em play.

League overreacting again. Ejection? yes. Suspension? No.....wasn't that bad. Let them play.

im ok with 1 game each.

J Rich and the Magic got screwed on this one. Magic are finished.

Richardson has been trash in the playoffs, Redick is the better starter for the Magic.

Why? Howard vs. Collins kills Atlanta.

My God. Let the players play. Who gives a shit. Nothing actually happened. Give them a fine and assign them community service; don't suspend them for the playoffs. **** Stern.

How does a slap warrant a slap? What is this shit?

Coud you imagine a play like that leading to a suspension back in the 1980s? There wouldn't be any players left to play.

I remember once when Celtics center Robert Parish starting punching Bill Laimbeer (Pistons Center) from behind for no apparent reason. Laimbeer was assaulted. Not only was there no suspension. THERE WASN'T EVEN A FOUL called on the play.Everyone just casually played on! Those were the days!

Watch this clip.

only conclusion I can come to was because it happen with like 2 min. left in the game. If it was an incident early in the game where they miss a good amount of action from the ejection maybe they wouldn't have

[QUOTE=kidachi]the league is in "parental guidance" era for a decade now..

Stern and that fa[I]g[/I] Stu Jackson just wants in that way..

NBA is softer than a butterfly now[/QUOTE]


Yeah I know. Back in the Good Old Days (the '80s) they would each have gotten only a technical foul, the game would have gone on, and it would have been no big deal.
