F*CK Shannon Brown, I still like his brother's songs though
It should be a one-game suspension. Brown was mad that Ginobili got a foul drawn on him that led to that inbounds pass. Then Ginobili pump-fakes him off his feet. In the slow motion replay, it's obvious that Brown is pissed before he goes for the wild swing across Ginobili's head. The landing would have been horrific if not for Morris cushioning the blow.
Ginobili had pretty much been blowing by him at will all game.
Weak sauce how Jackson defended Brown.
I agree and you will also notice if you watch in slow mo he was never looking at the ball just manus head! He was biting his lip which also suggests the intent to put all his force into the blow. It was dirty 100%.
As old and worn out as Jax has looked much of this season, it's stuff like this that makes me really hesitant to want to see him traded. Teammates like him are hard to find.
In Jack's defense, he had the worst view on the court. He couldn't see the wind up or even much of the landing blow.
Good points. If that's not a one-game suspension, I don't know what is. If you're allowed to play tee ball with your opponent's head because they make you mad, that's a dangerous precedent to set.
Has to be a one game suspension and fine based on that close shot replay that showed the hatred and intent on Brown's face. Worst poker face I've ever seen. The best lawyer in American couldn't argue intent on that one.
Also, the only time I've ever been glad to see that jay hawk scrub Morris on a court. that guy but he was in the right place at the right time this time.
Wasn't that hard of a foul.
blair was the first spur to step in & defend manu ............... the beast is back ............ balir = toughness = playoff rotation .........
Moron could have ended Manu's season
Dude, you're lacking in imagination if you can't see how it's good to have somebody like him in the locker room and on the court, just being around in general. It sets an example and rubs on on players, especially the young one. Not the running the mouth , but the 'take no from anyone' at ude. You have to have a short memory not to appreciate what that brings to the team. Especially after the years of RJ's reign of the vagina.
I'm not sure if RJ and vagina belong in the same sentence, but otherwise i agree with your point.
That the best you can come up with? Did that come straight out of your "Internet insults for dummies" book you keep next to your computer?
I can beat that without even breaking a sweat. "E-RockWill sucks so hard he can floss his teeth with pubic hair".
Is he mad? Or is he getting excited by all this talk of thugs and dirty fouls?

If they were chasing a soccer ball I might be inclined to agree. I could audibly hear the contact just watching the recorded clip.
It sure sounded as though Jack was letting Brown off the hook. I don't give a crap if he does know Brown, he need only watch the replay to get an idea of Brown's intent.
To draw a comparison, the NFL doesn't screw around with thug headhunters, as evidenced by their extreme punishment meted out to the saints. Head coach suspended, defensive coordinator perma-banned from the league, half a million in fines, lost draft picks... and here in the NBA you get a flagrant foul and then get to take the night off. LMAO!
Definite cheap shot by Brown who obviously doesn't like being shown up by a far better player. Flagrant 2 all the way, Brown a weaksauce POS. I've always in hated dirty ballas, and that was dirty.
What I loved about the scene was the way our players reacted - Patty straight in to look after Manu and usher him away, Manu with a " you, cheap pig" stare and a walk-away, Jax into the middle of the fray to calm it down (rather than inflame it - Jax has grown up a lot!), but also to interpose himself between Brown and the Spurs players to prevent something stupid from either party.
He might not have been able to see it, but I'm sure he heard it just fine. , I'm pretty sure everyone in the arena probably heard the crack of Brown's arm meeting Manu's forehead.
I think the flagrant 2 was more to set the precedent that you can't go after someone like that. The actual play didn't look too bad to me. Definitely not nearly as bad as some other recent ones I've seen like the Bynum on Barea one.
Yeah wtf was that. I know it always looks worse in slomo, but it was a pretty clear hard/dirty foul...
That woulda been a flag in the NFL too, tbh.
Bad comparison, IMHO.
Bynum gave Barea a forearm shiver to the midsection as Barea was in midair. He essentially stuck his forearm out and let Barea crash into it. The shot knocked the wind out of Barea and not much more. It was a cheap shot that could have caused a minor injury, perhaps a cracked rib. However this is not on the same scale as slamming someone in the head. In midair no less sending them sprawling backward. As others have noted, Ginobili was very fortunate to have had his fall broken, otherwise he comes down hard on the back of his head, and possibly ends up with a concussion. The blow itself snapping Manu's head back like a rag doll could have also broken his neck and caused paralysis. You are an idiot if you think these two plays are on the same level of severity.
The only play in recent memory that could be comparable in severity was Artests' elbow to Harden's head. And that only rated a 7 game suspension because Stern wanted his pawn back in time for the lakers' next series.
