Well that's funny, because Phil Jackson is the epitome of a poor sport.
Jones was given a flagrant by the league office. Therefore he's been punished for the push.
If you have to ask why Bynum's foul was a flagrant, then there's not much point trying to have a conversation.
When Kobe hit Kyle Korver in the face with his elbow one game after serving a suspension for hitting Marko Jaric in the face, he wasn't suspended. I don't even think he was whistled for a foul during the game.
Bynum got the ball, a flagrant is not going for the ball dumbass
You honestly don't feel that coming down with both arms across a man's face - and THEN getting the ball in the closing minutes of a game that you are getting blown out in is worthy of a flagrant?
It was a foul cuz he manage to hit him in the face but not hard, it barely got him in the face, if you look at the force Bynum came down with, and if he connected hard he would have been Knock down
As I mentioned elsewhere, there's no mention of that in the rulebook. If there were then it would have been impossible for the refs to charge Anthony Johnson for a flagrant when he elbowed his defender after being fouled.
Section IV--Flagrant Foul
a. If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary, a flagrant foul--penalty (1) will be assessed.
Dumbass.
Classic Phil Jackson.
I've seen this game before. Lakers get out to a nice handy lead early second quarter in LA with a Denver big and a Denver perimeter player in foul trouble. Denver can just never quite get back into the game from there.
Lakers by 19.
i dont see how the trip was so much "unsportsmanlike/flagrant" as compared to what bynum did to gerald wallace (that resulted in a collapse lung, and forgot if it resulted in fractured ribs too) that didnt even merit a suspension from the league office. of yeah, they're the lakers, we can't mess with them and we're just supposed to fall down and die cause they are the annointed one to get to the finals.
Simple: The trip was done to Kobe. Mandatory suspension according to Lakerfan.
you make perfect sense! maybe if it was done on mbenga, they would call for a pinch on the butt as punishment.
I love how the writer owns Phil at the end: Phil complaining about FT's, the teams have shot a combined 160 FT's, 80 apiece. Owned.
Just like Ron Jeremy complaining about Lebron when Dwight almost shoots just as many and his team shoots more.
This is all strategy by Phil.
He pulls the ref card at least once in the playoffs and it usually works out pretty well.
Jones is a cheap defender. I remember him trying to trip Dirk quite a few times as well, and constantly getting away with using double arm-bars against Dirk when getting posted up.
To Kobe's credit, he can take physical defense. He can dish them out, yes, but I don't see him complain much when it happens to him
+1 Kobe is a balla...he knows it's a man's game.
The last time he complained about physical defense his team blew a 3-1 series lead. I'd say you probably learn your lesson after that.
