The only thing swinging was their limp appendages. Here's hoping one of your close relatives is hit by a car, you idiot.stop being a pussy....at least Bynum, Odom, and Artest went out swinging...
There obviously needs to be a mercy rule for the lakers.
Oh..I see..it was JJB's flopping by going completely vertical and landing directly on his shoulder (which has surgery last year by the way) that made it look worse than it was.
Wow...when did spurstalk REALLY digress into stupidity?
It's the NBA Forum.
It was a move but this is re ed. I've seen plenty of harder, more malicious fouls than that.
Really? I think that's about as bad as it gets, when a guy leaves his feet like that and can't brace his fall and is completely exposed. It's one thing to clock a guy above the shoulders, and quite another to potentially mess with his livelihood.
I think it's going overboard to call for a lifetime ban or anything more than a 10 game suspension, but I'd like an example of worse fouls than that.
Kenyon Martin's had at least half a dozen flagrants worse than that. This one looked worse than it really was, not cuz of VLE's re ed reasoning, but simply because of the size disparity. Maybe it's worse because of that, but I don't know that Bynum really put a truly malicious move on Barea like K-Mart does all the damn time.
also, not NBA but Henderson purposely hammering Hansbrough in his face is about as blatant and malicious as flagrants get. Nobody cared cuz it was the two douchiest teams in college basketball.
It was a bush league move no doubt and cannot be condoned but come on. Bynum will get a 3 to 5 game suspension ant that should be about it and fair. I have seen HUNDREDS of rougher and meaner "intentive" takes downs over the years. Bynum needs to grow up no doubt but he's a 23 year old (we often forget that) that lost his cool and gave the little runt a forearm. He didn't throw a vicious elbow to the head or any such thing with the intent to hurt. It was just his way of saying, you are not running down this lane anymore for uncontested layups. He just overdid it cause of the size difference.
All of you calling for a ban are ing pussies that have no clue to the history of the game. It's becomming totally pussified with the flagrants etc. In the "old" days if you got a few uncontested layups in the paint you were put on your back and let know that if you wandered in there again, you will have to pay the admittence fee. Smaller guards etc had reservations and/or picked their spots for impact in the game.
Now, A guard goes in paint with reckless abandon. They are out of control a third of the time because they fear nothing. They know they are going to get bailed out with some ticky tacky foul and if they are really out of control and "HAPPEN" to land awkardly a friggen flagrant or flagrant 2 depending on his toughness to get up.
Its whats wrong with the league now. Instead of playing tough in your face D its jump in front of a guy and slide across the flloor for the charge. In the day, a defender would rather cry on the court than let someone think they could take em down. They would have looked down at the flailing offensive player on the floor, laughed, and stepped over him on the way to the fast break.
The league is being pussified by the day and its sad from an old schooler.
5 game suspension at most. How many did Mchale get for clotheslining Rambis's head?
edit: now you have idiots out there writing that both Lamars and Bynums fouls were racially motivated against the white guys. Unbelievable world we live in. Sad.

^ Jordan made it happen, and Kobe capitalized on it. The Lakers benefitted more from this wussed out league than any other team.
You have no room...
Bad analogy...
Everyone who posts here who was watching that game had a pretty good idea that it was about to happen. Up 30, protect your team and sub. If that happens, LA probably subs as well.
It was a cheap shot, but I've seen far worse for far less.
I didn't say he shouldn't have attempted a layup, because I would have kept running it down their throats until they melted down like they did.
What I am saying is that, when you do that, you should expect that to happen. The fact that Bynum has those priors should be enough to tell you that it's going to happen in the biggest game the Lakers have ever played in the Shaq/Pau era.
It's not about right or wrong, it's about prevention. Don't take hard fouls and possibly lose a guy when you are going to the next round and you pretty much know it. If anyone is going to do that, let it be your bigs.
Not even close.
Sure it is. It ushers out the winningest coach of all times. It puts to rest the Kobe/MJ talk. It shows for certain that Kobe isn't without Pau which then begs the question about Shaq. It ushers the gots out on the same horse they rode in on (a sweep).
No way, Jose'. Jordan is locked at 6. Kobe is fluid at 5.
Far from over.
the only reason i really hated this foul is because the Lakers knew the Mavs couldn't retaliate because of the next series.
Return when that changes.
Please.
one sucky thing about not having Stackhouse anymore. He would have found him in the hallways and whupped his ass after the game.don't think for a second that little pussy Bynum wouldn't get worked over like a by Stack, either. That prep school got don't want it with a real .
Instead of telling what's going to happen, talk about what is. That we can at least agree on or present evidence for. Your prophecy is about as potent as Phil's semen.
6-5 Jordan. But, Jordan is stuck at 6. Kobe is still fluid. Far from over.
The only fluid with Kobe is on his knee.
Kobe's still playing. The 7th game last year was far more important from a Laker history perspective. The MJ/Kobe talk is for the message boards, forums, and media. Has nothing to do with the Lakers and their past, present, or future performances. The sweep, thought embarrasing, is a blessing in disguise. Not like that hasn't happed before either. Just helps with the indecisions of the off season.
So you make a comment that this was the biggest game for the Lakers in the shaq/pau era then make it all about kobe. So sad...
