Good call. Flagrant yes, suspension worthy, no.
I've never heard them talk about Shaq.....IronMexican is the one Laker poster I've seen post that he actually liked Shaq when he was on LA.
Good call. Flagrant yes, suspension worthy, no.
Well Larry Brown said he shouldn't get suspended and he seemed convincingly honest that Bynum felt bad about it, maybe I was wrong to some extent.
Like when the Spurs were suddenly thugs after Horry shoulder-blocked Nash into the table.
I think people have an instinctual reaction when such a severe injury is involved. There are similar hard fouls throughout the season that, for luck of the draw, don't result in such injuries.Coincidentally, he's been averaging something like 20 points this month, even better than last January.
Fear leads to hate?
Here is the Official ESPN link; Bynum will not be suspended.
Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum's foul on Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace in Tuesday night's game has been upgraded from a Flagrant-1 to the more serious Flagrant-2 violation, the Lakers learned from the NBA on Thursday.
Wallace suffered a cracked rib and partially collapsed lung as a result on the collision. He left Staples Center on a stretcher and was taken to Centinela Hospital. Bynum told the Los Angeles Daily News on Thursday he called Wallace's cell phone and left a message.
"I didn't try to hurt him," Bynum told the Daily News. "His momentum was great, and if you look at the play, once he hit me I kind of spun around because I didn't know he was coming that fast.
"I wish him the best of luck and hope that he recovers."
Bobcats coach Larry Brown said he didn't think Bynum should be suspended.
"That kid waited at our bus, trying to get to Gerald, and he apologized to me,'' Brown told the Charlotte Observer. "If he had a history of that [rough play], I might feel different, but I just think it was a hard foul."

Oh and for the record....
Laker fans are the coolest of any fans period.
Throughout this entire overblown ordeal, which is now thankfully over, the only fans who comes out with egg on their face are the pathetic whiny pussy ass Spur/Sun fans whose teams are about to be taken out to pasture and shot to death.
why do we need to be shot, we'll just chrge through the lane in a Lakers game and Bynum can take care of the rest.
"Bynum's so soft"
"BYNUM'S A THUG!!! LEAVE WALLACE ALONE!!!!!!! HE HURT HIM SO BAD!!! SUSPEND HIM!!!!!!"
Spur fan = BI-POLAR
Yes God forbid we pity the guy who lost 60% of his breathing capacity in his vital organ.

This place is crawling with Lakers roaches, ewwwwwwwwww gross.

When Stackhouse fouled Shaq, he had his F1 upgraded to an F2 and had to sit out the next game. When Dirk fouled Ak47, he had his F1 upgraded to an F2 and had to sit out the next game. The rationale given was that even though no malicious intent was there, he exhibited poor body control and was recklessly out of position. When Dirk slapped Harpring with the back of his hand, he was ejected immediately on an F2, but had to sit out the next game as well.
I don't think Bynum's intentions were malicious, but it was the same case of being out of position and exhibiting poor body control. The decision to upgrade to an F2 is correct, but why isn't he forced to sit out the next game? Where is the consistency? Oh well, must be nice to be a glamour franchise like the Lakers. One set of rules for them, and one set of rules for everybody else. And if you suck, the league will always bail you out with a collusion trade.
not a re , a Palin. 21 Palins is a more suitable moniker.
Even worse.
Lakers999.....this was directed at DrHouse FWIW, but it's good to know that you'd man up.
And I am sure you can find many more F1 fouls that were upgraded to F2's where no suspension was given. It was a hard foul, no intent to injure. Dirk swung at Harprings face as retaliation and in anger with intent to harm. No one mentions that Drew went onto the Bobcats bus after the game and apologized and let the team know it was just a terrible accident. Also, it's his first infraction ever. That needs to be taken into consideration.
Your accusations of a different set of rules is completely absurd. What about Kobe being suspended 2 years ago for contact after his shot with a follow thru? No malicious intent like Dirks etc. It's funny how you haters forget those yet harp year after year about others. For god's sake... Bowen INTENTIALLY trys to harm guys... where is your outrage there?
As for the yet again broken record of collusion, I challenge you to PRODUCE one shred of evidence proving it. Until then, you are blabbering nothing but gibberish much the same as the Spurs haters did when the Spurs obtained Duncan.
Prove your accusations... or shut your trap... cause really.... it only makes you sound hateful, jealous, and childishly bitter.
What a .

This is seriously one of the most pathetic threads ever created on ST.
Why am I not surprised that Sun and Spur fan are the main contributors? There is no finer example of their blind hatred than this thread.
Bynum accidentally injures Wallace on a fluke play. Spur/Sun fan wish that he re-injures his knee. Perkins windmill slams Maxiell to the floor in an obvious attempt to injure, Spur/Sun fan completely silent.
Just a pathetic fanbase. Pathetic.
