Elbow from Dirk???

[mavsfan1000]

Ok you are still pissed Kobe got suspended. I'm glad we cleared that up. What did you think about Malone's elbow to Steve Nash than?

[LakeShow]

Like I said, you must be like 12, cause no one else could be this dumb, I think you just want to piss us off.

You're starting to bore me!

It was flagrant, imo. He should have been suspended!

Well then leave

Well that is why they have that rule. Kobe's wasn't as quite as obvious but still there was no reason to extend that far with his elbow. It was definitely questionable if that's what you want to hear.

[mardigan]

He left, thank god, this thread can die out now

That is what I wanted to hear. If it is questionable it should not have been a suspension, if we are suspending players for questionable calls, it should extend to all players.

ok I'm done, going home for the day. Have a good day!

Look its your opinion that it wasnt on purpose, and thats fine. Its mine that it was, and thats fine, but at least have some info to back up your statments other than who can tell intent, because obviously, someone can

I haven't played Halo 2 in forever.

Anyone up for some later? Maybe Crackdown or Vegas?

What about Gears? I'd be up for that.

[Shank]

I've got a friend borrowing Gears. I'm thinking I'll just watch some NCAA and "The Riches" on Tivo tonight.

Having seen it again convinces me even more it was nothing.... if anything, at least from that angle, It looks like it maybe grazed Lebron's nose.... at most. definitely unintentional and a great flop by lebron (I mean that in the best way possible, he sold the out of it).


Then again, it could just be the angle...

*edit*

never mind, after pausing and playing repeatedly, I thought the first action where Dirk crosses his left arm past Lebrons face was the contact, it was dirks right elbow that got Lebron.... but still definitely the motion of shooting with lebron leaning WAY in.

Where's Lakeshow1 after seeing the clip?

He'll need a new username after this POS thread

Just "Lebron" "Dirk", no "elbows". It had been up eight hours when I found it.

You asked for me, you got me. I'm not going to debate this but After seeing the clip I realize that I'm dealing with bias posters with no rational thinking. It's funny how we see two different things looking at the same picture. Dirk was in motion to shoot?? Dirk didn't attempt to shoot until contact was made in hopes of drawing a foul. That could easily be considered an intentional elbow, he swung his elbows 180 degrees. He wasn't even facing the basket at the time of elbow. He was elbowing on the dribble as well. Lebron was crowding Dirk and he did what any other player would do, use his elbows to create space. The same exact thing that Kobe did. Does this warrant a suspension? not in my opinion, but neither did Kobe.

Dallas has nothing to worry about because the Cavs organization has too much class to send a video tape to the league whinning. Dallas and S.A are the only organizations that does that.

I want to apologize for some of the name calling but not the stance that I took on the elbow. Even though I didn't see it yesterday, now that I have seen it, I stand by my statements.

When Kobe elbowed Manu. This was the reason given for the suspension.

Here's the rule:

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.

It was also stated that whether it was intentional or not, it is a violation! I based my argument on this so called rule. I guess Kori just made that up. Or that must be one of those KOBE RULES! This is how I can be so animated that it was an infraction without seeing it.

What's this thread all about...I'm too busy watching a guy average 58 points per game over the last 3 and reigning player of the week.

It started off about the elbow that Dirk threw and then it got ugly and turned into a insult thread.

You turned it into an insult thread. And you are just letting your Kobe homerism blind you from what is sportsman like and unsportsman like

I was too busy seeing Kobe heroically beating the best teams in the league by a huge margin.

[LakeShow]

You turned it into an insult thread, and you still have nothing except Kobe homerism to understand the difference between sportsman
like and unsportsman like

I'm not even going there today. Whatever!

[mqywaaah]

Elbow from Dirk? What's this? A new Clint Eastwood flick similar to Letters from Iwo Jima? This aint even in thread worthy.


Kobe gets a lot of attention due to the fact that he is a rapis... err... I mean a great player. So get over it. The NBA isnt on a KOBE witch hunt. Dirk elbowing James' face wasnt even close to the word "Intentional." It was more of a James flop than a Dirk Flagrant. !

Yea, cause your insults got taken away and you have nothing if your not calling people gots or pussys. 325 posts of idiocy and counting

I just had a post that had none of that, Can't comment on that, can you?

Btw, it is nothing in that rule about sportmanship! It was said, intentional or not, it is a violation! so that doesnt come into play here.

Did you by any chance portray count Dracula's voice in the Sesame St. series?
