http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...l-on-splitter/Scott defends Hollins’ flagrant foul on Splitter
by Tim Griffin
..."In the 1980s, that’s just a regular foul. Get up and play,” Scott said. “I know what the league is trying to do and I understand that. But three in the last two games I don’t know is good or bad.”
Joey Graham was ejected from the Cavs’ loss at New Orleans Friday night with a flagrant-2 foul and Hollins picked up a flagrant-1 foul later in the game against the Hornets.
“I guess if I’m going to look at it one way or another, it’s that the guys are tired of certain things and are going to keep fighting,” Scott said.
Hollins wishes he had an ounce of talent that Splitter has.
what a
nba.com has the video up now as well.
I could not stand that clown after he tried to taunt TIM in the 09 playoffs (Still remember it).
What are they "tired of" Byron Scott? Playing ty defense? Getting shown up by better teams?
Tired of "certain things"? Like what?“I guess if I’m going to look at it one way or another, it’s that the guys are tired of certain things and are going to keep fighting,” Scott said.
Playing bad defense and letting teams go in for uncontested dunks so you have to hit them in the face to stop them?
Oh no I'm sure Byron Scott didn't mean that. That would have been too close to reality... that he is a vastly overrated coach who can't get much out of his players beyond what they are willing to do on their own.
I'm sure he meant some lame issue like "running up the score" or something stupid like that.
What a tool. He will be fired from this job just like New Jersey and New Orleans, because the players just get sick of him.
My initial thought:
whats the need for fouls like that. unprofessional thats for sure
Even Roger Goodell is thinking about fining Hollins for that play. Not cool.
Scott is full of it. Just like in football, you cannot go for a head shot to the opponent. You have to make a play on the ball. Hollins has done this crap before. I guess he learned it playing for Avery.
I think everyone knows that the NBA game in the 70, 80, and 90's was much like hockey, every team had their enforcer, the designated protector and hit man.
I rather enjoyed the game much more back then, players policed themselves. The hit that Tiago took would have been nothing more than a foul but retaliation would have been a . Probably resulting in a bench clearing fight.
That was unwatchable, and frankly, there's no one worth going after on the Cavs. It's an entire team of bench players.
NBA.com censors anything "controversial" out of their highlights. It's a family league.
Hollins is a POS trash player anyway...not surprised he pulled the he did. Just because he was getting owned by Splitter didnt mean he should lay his ass out..
agreed i thought so too, but it was only coz they had only first half highlights ... so ill give them a pass this time
Back in the days player didn't get paid as much as they do now...would suck to see a team lose a player long term on some stupid play and pay them all that cash to sit.
Rules are just protecting the players health and teams investment.
Using the whole "back in the day" excuse is lame Scott. Lame.
Hollins was a cheap shot artist when he was in Dalllas, and his at iude hasn't changed.
I think the game has been overly sanitised, but that was a nasty foul and a righteous ejection in any era. Foul a guy hard, but don't endanger his health. Very glad Splitter wasn't hurt.
Scott's comments were unjustified.
i was right up front at the game and saw it happen, man hollins was hatin on splitter. i mean out of nowhere he came at him, i think its cause splitters a pretty boy and a good bball player, thats why they go for the face its psychology
He's not very pretty, but I know what you mean. Blonde hair singles him out.
Ladies of Spurstalk, how hot is Splitter? Would you describe him as a "pretty boy"?
that was the same foul on george hill.
hollins is d-league talent. scott is a coach who cannot get anything done, other than showing off his ring he got as a scrub on a talented roster. what a failure.
