    I'm pretty sure knowing Beasley he said something in the aftermath that deserved him getting T'd up.

    Of course, there was a somewhat similar reaction by Blake Griffin the other day on Tony Battie, even pushing a ref, and I doubt Griffin got a T. Though I don't know for sure, and am right now too lazy to go look, sorry.

    so the end results of a dangerous cheap shot by a Laker is both teams lose a player for the rest of the game and Minnesota gets 2 FTs to LA's 1

    does that seem reasonable?

    And Minny gets the ball. Reasonable? Maybe not. But if Beasley hops up and says I'll kick your mother fucking ass you fat tub of goo, is that not T worthy?

    beasley might have deserved the t, no question, the argument here is that bynum should be suspended to hopefully have him think twice in the future before endangering someones career

    I don't have a problem with MB getting a T if he earned one but I also completely understand why someone might react that way to a dangerous cheap shot like the one he received. I don't feel getting kicked out of a game is much of a deterrent for this sort of play that in all likelyhood (and in this case) removes the fouled player from the game as well. So no, not reasonable.

    If Bynum doesn't receive further punishment for his action (suspension & loss of pay) I see little reason besides human decency not to lay out players when ever they drive to the hoop. It follows that teams should bring on a goon specifically to do this. Maybe the Blazers should spend a 2nd rounder on the guy in my avatar to guard the hoop?

    I agree he should be suspended. However, since he's done this sort of thing in the past, doubt it makes him think twice.

    I'm in agreement that he should be suspended. But that doesn't change the situation in the specific game. Even without the T, is two shots and the ball somehow more reasonable than 1 net shot and the ball? Not really. It's a shitty situation.

    This might surprise you since you listen to Mike Rice, but not every journalist is a rabid idiotic homer.

    No, the league doesn't suspend Lakers. If people ever found out that the NBA shows extreme favoritism to the Lakers they would lose A TON of money! Who would support a fixed product? Luckily none of us are that smart.

    I admit they are pretty good anouncers. Much better than most. And I am sure they would agree that Bynum is an extremely immature for someone who has been in the league for 6 years. Suspend his ass. Although I think the Lakers play better without him.

    About 15 years ago? I invested in NBA league pass. Mike Rice is the color guy right? At least the play-by-play guy doesn't act like the typical anti-Laker pro-Blazer everything Portland resident. I actually enjoy watching this current Blazer team because of Camby, Miller and Wallace.

    BTW did you know that that geek Pete Priancana (sp?) is still employed? He does Grizzlies games.

    Maybe if the Lakers didn't coddle him like they did Kobe when he was the same age he would have a different mindset.
