    This is why I don't like him. How many times in a the last 6 months or so has he been suspended now? At least twice.

    I've always liked him. He's a tough, gritty player and a great defender, but these are the types of incidents that test how much of a homer you are. I'd have to see how blatant it was, to be honest. Any other Raptors fans that can give a description?

    He used to just be a good defender and reliable three-point shooter, now he's becoming an outlaw. What's wrong with Bell? Maybe he only seemed like a solid citizen in Utah because Jerry Sloan was keeping his ass in line.

    Is there a video... and was he kicked out of the game when he kicked him or was it not noticeable during the game, but when they complained and saw the video or something.

    I saw the video tonight. It was blatantly obvious. Andrea backs up on Raja and knocks him down. Raja falls and while he's on the ground he kicks his leg up and hits Andrea in the nuts. Andrea doesn't even feel it for some reason, but you could see exactly what Raja was trying to do. I liked him while he was in Utah, but he seems a bit dirty nowadays.

    No I wasn't wondering. Bell was good in Utah. He is better in Phoenix, however.

    Yea, didn't Bell have a good 3pt % in Utah, and obviously played hard on D (Sloan wouldn't have it any other way).

    Bell has been good since he got in the league, just under-used in certain places. He was a big key in Philly's run to the finals

    I like Raja Bell, he's not the same type of player like Posey and some others. I still prefer Boris Diaw though overall. He has a lot of potential to break out. What we've seen of him so far isn't near the tip of the iceberg.

    Of course - Raja is a role player, Boris can run an offense, finish, hit 15 footers, box out, play back to the basket, see the floor, uhm... do basically everything...

    He would be a good player if it wasn't for his stupidness. He takes people down and kicks them, those are somethings that makes him look like a stupid player.

    He reminds me of Bruce Bowen.

    Raja is an okay player but he seems like he has a attitude problem. he doesn't really realize what hes doing alot of times like when he literally wrestled kobe to the floor last year
