dayum Laker fans, you are starting to slip, or maybe mature, if so, kudos
IMMHOO (in my most humble of opinions) that sh*t is cheap and he deserves to watch game five in street clothes from the locker room.

Re: 10 hours later and not one thread about Dahntay tripping Kobe
Im sure it will be upgraded to a flagrant... the 2nd time LA gets robbed on the floor and dont get the FT or the momentum of the call.

Re: 10 hours later and not one thread about Dahntay tripping Kobe
A five game suspension for a trip? How soft are you? It was definitely a flagrant 1...if Kobe and been scratched in anyway I would even buy a Flagrant 2 and one game suspension, but 5 games for a trip. Kobe threw and knee and elbow to Battiers head and he didn't even get a flagrant. Rondo punched a guy in the face and he didn't get a flagrant. But a trip on Kobe is worth 5 games. Use your head.

Re: 10 hours later and not one thread about Dahntay tripping Kobe
Agreed. Jones is going out there to hurt Kobe. The trip was cheap, but that push in the back on that layup (game three) was dirty and could have damn near injured Kobe for the rest of the playoffs.
League needs to take a look at that. I'm surprised it wasn't more then a regular foul because there was absolutely 0 attempt to get the ball.

Re: 10 hours later and not one thread about Dahntay tripping Kobe
I actually agree that the push was much worse. Dudes get tripped five times a game every game, and very rarely are seriously hurt from it. Pushing a man when he is vulnerable in the air is extremely dangerous, and how people wind up with broken wrists, busted heads, and paralyzed. The league, however, and always been about consequences of behavior, more than the behavior itself. So if Shaq flattens a guy going for a clean block (because he weighs 200lbs more) he is going to get suspended; it Jones pushes someone hard in the back while they are in air, and the guy lands alright, its just going to be normal foul most of the time.

Hahahhaa...ok I reread the OP. It's clearly what you meant. Sorry, my overreaction. One game would still be a bit much, but not an outrage. Originally Posted by Silverbullit

thank you, I am glad I didn't have to correct him. I love it when people who lack reading comprehension assail you for something you never wrote. Originally Posted by Silverbullit

That trip deserves a flagrant-1 or a tech or something, but nothing more than that. Obviously not a suspension.

disagree, and frankly a little disappointed Jeff. Originally Posted by insidehoops

much worse than what Rajon did to Brad Miller for example (though Rajon got away with it) and add to the fact it happened to one of the faces of the league and it is a no brainer.
total chicken sh*t move.
