    Laker fan here.

    I wish Rudy the best. I turned the game off after the second quarter from the butt whipping you guys were giving us, so I didn't see what happened. Regardless, I do not wish injury on anybody. Hopefully Rudy recovers well, and Trevor gets whatever punishment he deserves, if any.

    Yea when he went down I thought he just got the wind knocked out of him. Wow, what a downer. Ariza looks pretty stupid, down thirty, commits a dirty foul, and then wants to fight about it?!? :crazy:

    The Lakers are a dirty team and anyone who supports them should be ashamed.

    I hope he didn't fractured a rib or get a collapsed lung like Wallace.

    I think he got a stinger from the head blow, and the wind knocked out of him. A 185 pound guy crashing to the hard floor without football pads on has got to hurt. The straight board was probably just a procaution. He's probably going to be very bruised and will probably miss the Dallas game. (just my speculation).

    I thought neck injury right away when they said his face was numb but then he started moving his arms. I like your opinion much better!

    Whatever it is, he's going to be hurting tomorrow... I don't think there was any intent to hurt Rudy but he fell HARD! I knew it was bad when the camera caught the look on Pau's face.

    It was a terrible situation an an unfortunate scene, but it was beautiful to hear the crowd chanting "Rudy Rudy Rudy!" when he was down. That gave me tingles.

    I think he wanted to hurt him in the heat of the moment type of way that happens win you are frustrated that you are getting your ass kicked. I doubt he wanted to injure him, but "hurt".....he swung pretty hard.

    All I was thinking when Ariza walked off the floor was, someone better throw a beer at that motherfucker.

    That's what I saw too. Trevor was frustrated and he made a really reckless play. He meant to make Rudy hurt (as in ouch) but didn't want to hurt him (as in injury). I almost felt a little sorry for that Laker fan they showed leaving the Rose Garden... I just thought, "Buddy, you probably want take the jersey off and run to your car".

    I'm glad we have a few weeks before we see the Lakers again this season. These teams obviously do not like each other and need to go to their respective corners and cool down for a while. I like intensity but I don't want to see a fight/suspension mess up our play off hunt.

    You could almost hear the National Geographic guy... "the lions smell blood, as they begin to take down the water buffalo..."
