    It was done out of frustration by Bynum. The Bobcats and Wallace specifically was making Bynum their bitch in the paint and Bynum got frustrated and gave him a nice little elbow. I miss watching the old NBA where this wouldn't have even been an issue. Anybody remember Jordan Rules?

    That said, I hate the Lakers. The league should suspend Bynum for the season.

    It was not Oden's foul proneness at all. Oden ADMITTED that he knew he had to foul Allen. It was INTENTIONAL. Just like Bynum's fouls.

    Um, no.

    It didn't look like he intended to hurt anyone to me. He is just a load of a dude. Oden could easily do the same accidentally, and I don't think anyone here would say he was dirty if it happened like that.

    Too bad for GW, tho.

    Is that play dirty? Maybe. I think almost certainly not, but maybe.

    Even if that play is dirty, though, does that make Bynum a dirty player? I don't think so. Even coupling it with the play where Oden got hurt... there's just not a track record substantial enough to support calling Bynum dirty.

    And I say this as the owner of Gerald Wallace on my (currently first place in a 14 team league) fantasty basketball team...

    Yeah, but it's a lot more fun to argue with Darizzle for one simple reason. It means more of Jessica Alba's ass... Oh, now I've said too much.

    Definitely a dirty play. Simply put, he wasn't playing basketball. If players made that type of play even 1/3 of the time, there would be few dunks by swing men.

    Is he a dirty player? Not enough evidence, yet.

    Look, giving the benefit of the doubt that it WAS a dirty play (stay with me here)...

    Chris Paul punched a dude in the nuts on National TV. No ifs, ands or buts about it. And I don't hear a peep about CP3 being a "dirty player".

    As much as I hate the L*kers, I'm fine saying it was a flagrant foul in the heat of a close game. 10k or so, maybe a game if they want to send a message...whatever. Bynum's on probation in my book to see if he turns into a Bowen-type cheap-shotter. But calling him "dirty" after the hit on Wallace? Can't say it.

    Man, that really doesn't look like her in your GIF. That looks thicker (in a delicious way) than JA, IMO.

    Not that she would need it, but...Body double?

    Go somewhere else if you want unbiased. You are a laker fan in a blazer forum. Lakers suck goats balls
