I nominate, and vote for, a third option - 'dwyane wade eats babies and shits on your grandmother's grave'.
Something in the middle. It obviously wasn't intentional, but Rudy apparently suffered a lot of pain (chest tissue or something) so I don't blame him for staying on the floor for so long.
Well yes the ground was harsh on him, but if you don't think it was intentional that sounds like the second option.
I voted yes. If Ariza and Odom are suspended, the Rockets will beat them. They have no scoring at the 3, and everyone can focus on stopping Kobe. But my guess is Odom will get suspended for one game and Ariza won't. But seriously, at that elevation, you don't need to swing at a man that hard. It's dangerous.
Hard foul. He went for the ball, caught some of Rudy's hand, and Rudy ht the ground hard. He took off and was looking for a big slam, and he hit the ground hard because of how fast he was going. If Ariza hit him in the head or grabbed him, it was malicious. However, that foul was fine.
It could be worse. He could be Kobe out looking for hotel workers to rape. Nice team you guys have there.
Favourite? Like you made it to 8th grade. Now onto the question. As a Blazer fan I think it was somewhere in between. It was a cheap shot and a hard foul, but he did give the impression he was going for the ball. The Blazers were up by 30 or so at the time, so I think it's fairly safe to say it was a frustration foul as well. Flagrant I might have been ok, although Flagrant II wasn't out of line because he hit him in the head and he was behind him. He also never touched the ball. Odom should get suspended because he left the bench like the punk he is. Although he didn't go onto the court, and I think that's what the rule actually says.
haha touche. I'd usually rep you for that , but you'd probably give it away to some of your homeless friends in portland. and i totally agree with the bolded part.
