Dirk won't get suspended, nor should he. A technical is punishment enough.
didnt garnett get a suspension for sorta the same thing?

what if he had broken blair's nose? then there would be a suspension? i think an attempt to hit somebody in the head like he did should deserve a suspension
when did someone get elbow to the head?
Exactly.
r u talking about Dirk's elbow to Blair?
If I thought Dirk wasn't such a punk- , I would agree with you. Believe me, that bony-elbowed kraut wants nothing to do with DeJuan Blair.
Um. Yeah.
Are they talking about the shove?
Jesus. Wishful thinking, Spur fan.
i just watched the replay and dirk blatantly swung his elbow at blairs head....watch it and tell me he didnt. just bc he missed doesnt mean the intent wasnt there
Barea definitely elbowed Manu in the back of the head, and Manu rubbed it for a couple minutes.
Spurs otta wrap the bas in veclro and throw him at a wall.
That was barely worthy of a technical.@ suspension
I'd rather have the Spurs beat em next game with Dirk than without. No f'n excuses.
but he didn't break blair's nose. no need to make this into something it's not. it was nothing more than a player getting frustrated and giving an extra shove. a technical foul is sufficient punishment. even then, the refs probably let that one go had the game not been getting so chippy.
but isnt there a rule that you can not take a shot at someones head? i mean really, he could have really ed up blair with an elbow...we see what his elbow is capable of with manus nose bein all ed up
and jefferson was about half an inch away from really ing up dirk. does rj need to get suspended too?
Well, an elbow to the nose gets you 2 free throws if you are the guy giving it. Maybe the head is not that critical, unless your on a date.
Dirk was trying to disengage, and did it in a confrontational manner, hence the technical. Blair's lucky that it wasn't a double technical. If you're going to go down this road, then prepare to be without Richard Jefferson for the next game.
rj didnt intentionally swing his elbow at dirks face....thats the point im trying to get across....how do you guys not follow?
If he intentionally led with the elbow and Blair was unlucky enough to turn at the perfect time. THEN we'd be talking about the NBA taking action, but to expect them to punish a swing and a miss? That's straight up Mav-like.
so u r saying dirk intentionally swing his elbow at blair's face![]()
if you shoot a gun at someone and miss isnt that still attempted murder?
After seeing what happened next, I'll bet you the refs are wishing they had given the double T.
What? I don't agree with OP, but Jefferson's foul was a hard play at the ball. The face contact was incidental.
Desn't intent have anything to do with it? Or is it cut and dry - any elbow, regardless of the situation, to the head automatically warrants a T and a one game suspension? I think there is a little bit of leeway for the refs though it may be one of those "between the lines" kind of interpretation.
