That was a violent elbow that could have done way more harm, and pleny of Spur fans have also said that it didnt warrent a suspension including me. If it was the other way around, I wouldnt like it, but I would understand it

Is that footage from Coast to Coast. I was just watching it live.
And so it begins...
and the Knicks won! Love it!
No, it was just a segment on Sportscenter.
^^Cant post youtube links homie
It was a YouTube video with game footage.
what is it under on youtube
I watched the replay. I just can't see how it was incidental contact. When Kobe hit Gino, the ball was still pretty high up in the air.
It's not like the ball was right by both players and Kobe injured Gino as they both scrambled for the rebound.
Gino was on the floor and the ball was still falling.
Will Cook get suspended for his actions tonight? Did a similar thing to Kobe.
The league is out of control, there will be suspensions every week if they treat everyone the same.
They should worry about cracking down on flopping instead of accidental hits to the head. Id gladly see Reggie and Eddie suspended for a few games if it meant that Manu couldnt use the flop to sell 75% of his plays.![]()
He flailed his arms on purpose, he wasn't going for the ball or anything. However, I don't think he meant to hit him in the face.
Manu apparently told the league that he didn't think Kobe should be suspended, but oh well. The league said since it was to the head and not a "basketball play", the suspension was warranted.
We'll see what happens next time Manu hits someone while flopping![]()
Yeah, the more I seeit, the less intentional it looks. At first I thought it was totally accidental, but I dont know....
Nah, I think we all know that Manu's nose has a tendency to get in the way sometimes.
at the people who believed the comments about getting rid of black players in the NBA.

As someone already mentioned, there was recent mention about a crackdown on flopping and Kobe was clearly the first victim there. If Manu had flailed his arms and Kobe had gotten hit hard, Manu would be suspended. I see a lot of people talking about hits that had taken place before yesterday, but none of that matters. They've decided that it's what happens from this moment forward. Is it bad for the league? Maybe. But they got rid of the ty ball and they've relaxed a bit on the complaining rule, so perhaps this was their way of sending notice that they're serious and, once they're satisfied that everyone got the message, things will settle down.
Thanks for explaining the flailing. Like I said, what was it six pages agoif Gino says it was an accident, I'll take his word.
Good use of the. I was thinking yesterday that it's rarely used.
The funny thing about this is that this new rule will affect the Spurs the most.
We'll be sure to whine about it for days on Laker boards.
Like I previously said, worst new poster of the year
Of course you will, you do enough whining here for the whole internet.
I don't think he did it on purpose.
That being said, the downside of the Lakers being good again, is the obvious trolls and re ed Laker fan entering again.
First George Bush and now mardigan and chumpdumper.
WTF is wrong with Texas.![]()
