He's suspended. If he threw an elbow to the face, they have to.
Elbowed Redd in the face and was called for flagrant foul. We'll see whan NBA does. And while we're at it, they should also suspend Kwame for taking Diaw to the ground. They ed up when they suspended Artest and the 2 Heat players they are making a joke of these playoffs
He's suspended. If he threw an elbow to the face, they have to.
It will be addressed.
I didn't see the Rip foul. But I believe the Kwame situation is under review.
I don't know if intent is taken into consideration, but it looked entirely like he was just trying to make a swim move to get over top of Redd.
that was an accidental elbow. Rip was jostling for position trying to get in front of Redd.
No way in the world that will deserve a suspension.
If it was an elbow or forearm above the shoulders....
Such a homer, Pistoncs < Spurs.
If the league is going to suspend Haslem for throwing a mouthpiece, they've got to suspend a guy for throwing a 'bow.
It only looked bad cuz Redd flopped from the baseline to out past the free throw line. like that happens 50 times a game in the post, but usually it doesn't end in a flop like that.
Artest got suspended for less. Rips elbow was a harder hit and it looked as intentional as Artest's
if it was to the face it he will be suspened
read the rule
I didn't see the Rip play, but I certainly didn't see Kwame connect; he threw the guy to the ground. I think Artest's elbow was absolutely intentional, and I didn't think he should have been suspended. No way Kwame gets suspended.
Homer? yep you caught me
*sigh*
We went over this with the Artest situation. The rule doesn't state anywhere that a player must be suspended for an elbow above the shoulders.
It says that a player should be EJECTED for an elbow above the shoulders. And that they can look at the play later and decide the punishment (fine/suspension/whatever).
^^^ I knew that was coming.
Is it just me or have we had more suspensions in these playoffs than any year before? And it's only the first round!
ok but I bet it will be a suspension but it could help pistons in the long run
it will make pistons rest rip and get him healthy
Well they did send out a league wide memo before the playoffs started saying they weren't going to tolerate this kind of rough play. So the players/teams were warned.
You do know that Posey got suspended for bumping a player right? So throwing a guy to the ground must be a suspension. I don't agree with any of the suspensions but just stating that the NBA ed up when they tried to send "messages" about rough play by suspending Artest and Posey. dumbasses
Bumping a player...he threw him a shoulder at 75% speed.
Posey got suspended for measuring up Hinrich for 60 feet before plowing into him with a lowered shoulder. That was a no brainer.
What Posey did was blindside a smaller guy at full speed. If you think that is anything similar to what Kwame Brown did, we are going to have to agree to disagree. Kwame Brown is a big mother er, and if he had been doing anything other than wanting to get Diaw away from him, it would have been ugly.
I guess if they decide to categorize what Kwame did as "fighting" then they'll suspend him. As far as Rip goes, I guess I will have to go look at it to know what I think
Diaw flopped.
Dude manu flopped and it got Artest suspended.
He was fighting for position to front him in the post. Trying use his elbow for leverage. It wasn't intentional. Right afterward Rip even went to see if he was ok, and Redd didn't even think twice about it.
If they suspend him oh well. He could use the rest. He's not helping us much right now with that bad ankle anyways.
