"It is an unsportsmanlike act" (referring to elbow foul)
I go by what the rule book says: http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_12.html?nav=ArticleList
Re: Fisher Suspended, Kobe Given Flagrent Purposely swinging an elbow into a player is an obvious flagrant foul -- "unsportsmanlike conduct". If...
The Rockets are shooting themselves in the damn foot late in this second quarter. Turnovers and poor defensive rebounding will kill you. They're...

On Von getting sent to the locker room (Feigen):
Re: Round 2: Lakers vs. Rockets Series Thread (Series tied 1-1) He was saying he got in the throat. It wasn't a "throat slash".
Right. And if the elbow connected above the shoulders, the rules are clear. Suspension. We'll see how the NBA rules it.

The 26 minutes Yao was on the floor, the Lakers outscored the Rockets by 29 points. That means in the 22 minutes Yao was off the floor, the Rockets...
Re: Round 2: Lakers vs. Rockets Series Thread (Series tied 1-1) I've never seen Scola initiate anything with another player. He'll play hard,...
He's been a valuable contributor on the whole, but he's very streaky and he'll have games now and then where he hurts the team much more than he...
Re: Round 2: Lakers vs. Rockets Series Thread (Series tied 1-1) I thought Scola played like crap in that third quarter. Against most teams he's...
