What a fucking joke! Butler got paid with two and the ball...and probably the win because of it...Butler should have got the same as Plumlee, probably worse. Butler is the one who got up in Plumlees face and initiated contact. If you want some of your money back Butler, get a refund from whoever cut your hair.
This is great! Mason got in Butlers head just like Joel Przybilla used to get in guys heads...next time he tries to drive on Mason he'll probably hesistate
Plumlee's foul should not have been a flagrant. That was a common foul. Butlers trip is not a flagrant because what he did was unsporting. Unsporting fouls are penalized with technicals. Which kind of sucks because flagrant fouls give you two free throws plus the ball. Technical fouls should give you the same in my honest opinion.
In a situation like that, he should be tossed from the game. Losing Butler hurts the Bulls a lot more than 2 points the ball.
Talking that entitled Dukie vs The Projects b.s.... Plumlee's response should have been to point back at him and say, "the Butler did it."
That would likely depend on the severity of the foul. I once tossed a LaSalle kid for kicking at his counterpart. They were tangled after a rebound and landed on the ground. The way it is penalized is different because kicking is fighting. My point is that you can automatically eject someone from the game. I don't believe Butler should have been tossed for his unsporting foul.
One might think that Butler would have enough money to pay his fine himself, but he actually needs all of his contract's money to buy a new house. Need some space to store that huge ego, right ?
