Rasheed just hit Big Z in the head on purpose and Z's head started bleading...so he's going to need a few stiches...let's hope we can stay in this one without Z.

That whole game was played very dirty by Detroit. Just in case anyone is wondering Detroit won.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_fan:</div><div class="quote_post">I saw highlights on Nba.com, was it really intentional?</div> I believe it was called as a flagrant 1, so no suspension. but kobe's elbow to mike miller resulted in one later, so its possible.
It wasn't intentional, Z span round Sheed and Sheed reached out but it was a lazy reach which meant he was no where near the ball. No way does It deserve a suspension.

I forget who they interviewed Big Z or Sheed, btu one of them said it was a pay back because Big Z got him on the play before.

'Sheed was upset because Z backed him down and drew the foul... You would think Rasheed would eventually grow up, but that obviously isn't ever gonig to happen.

Grow up? the guy is playing basketball and the message in Detroit is you get nothing easy when you go inside. Which was the case.

It was during a play where Z beat Sheed in the post.
Sheed actually said something along the lines of "I wouldn't have hit him if he didn't elbow me just before" I'll just try to find the link here's the quote: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> "Why would I crack that cat in the skull to start the game if I wasn't elbowed first,'' Wallace said. </div> Source: Akron Beacon Journal
At least Big Z came back and fouled Wallace with a little extra. I don't think Sheed had the intention of busting Big Z open, but that elbow was definitely intentional. Do you think someone else should have came to Big Z's defense after he got busted open? I was surprised LeBron or someone else didn't step in and get in Sheed's face after the play.
