you can´t just go by the would´ve ,should´ve..
They guy hited other player´s face.
And I don´t think he tried to hurt him but he tried to get him off him and ocationally hited manu´s face.But it´s still a faul.I think they gave him a game suspention cause the faul wasn´t call at that time,It could benefit the lakers.good thing we won in OT.
Then I would say it makes no sense.
It will be interesting to see what happens the next time any player gets hit in the face/head unintentionally. The League just set a precedent.
I think it all comes down to the rule I posted earlier in this thread:
So since they didn't eject him at the time, they suspended him after.Officials have been instructed to eject a player who throws a punch, whether or not it connects, or an elbow which makes contact above shoulder level. If elbow contact is shoulder level or below, it shall be left to the discretion of the official as to whether the player is ejected. Even if a punch or an elbow goes undetected by the officials during the game, but is detected during a review of a videotape, that player will be penalized.
this is exaclty what im scared of, especiall having Bowen, Duncan and Ginobli on the team.
Do these people have a history of flailing??
This assumes intent by the player, right?
Most people eat at the Olive garden too, that doesn't make it a good place to eat. He deserved a 3 game suspention and a $50,000 fine.
Do you not watch the Spurs??
Oh please don't tell me you got 978 of these type of post?
He does. But he also mixes in a lot of hate for women along the way
Yeah i watch them alot but i don't see them hitting people in the head too much so explain how they're worse then anyone else in the league.Do you not watch the Spurs??
Like I said, this is going to be a huge can of worms the next time somebody gets slapped in the face.
Makes sense but you would think a fine would cover it.
I guess game time has to be missed. Can't suspend him for a quarter.
That's what I would have expected as well.
Damn, you could get suspended for hitting a person accidentally in the face? National Bitch Association
I don't think that game time has to be missed. I think it's up to the league what the penalty should be, if they miss the ejection.
Players get hit in the face about 60 times per game on avg...this is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever seen. If a player is blocking a shot and hits someone in the face is that going to be a suspension too?
This is the first time someone has caught an elbow in the face all season?
It's ludicrous.
Someone is on some serious crack and it aint me.
Agreed, a very slippery slope.
It wasn't that long ago when Shaq nearly decapitated Big Ben in the playoffs with a vicious elbow(2005?). No foul, no ejection, no suspension.
We'll at least we finally found a way to solve our SF problems...just hire Johnny Knoxville or some other pain freak to come out and face dive into Bron Bron's elbows...problem solved.
Stupid.
Didnt Shaq also throw a forearm to Bynums neck? Also no foul, suspention or fine.
NBA is just preparing themselves for the playoffs.....errrrr one wants to see a LAKER / SPURS series.... they don't want funny stuff in the playoffs so the nip it by the bud early so it won't look to obvious like it did with the heat and mavs....
what a shamockery!
