Kittles and KVH were freaking studs in Live. For years

KG with Troy Hudson and Eddie Griffin was a problem.

 

[rck3sactown]

Peeler was the man. And I thought that even before he punched KG, but that just made him even more awesome.

I would like a Peeler Kings jersey 

 

Kings would have been better in the post season that year if Webber didn't comeback 

 

[EddieDoyers]

Man im talking about the Bulls era

None of the bball video games had him in the classic teams til 2k got him for 2011.
In fact, he was in the all 90s team for nba live 04

 

[EddieDoyers]

Lamar Odom was also OP in the Live series

@KBergCBS: Dwight Howard's flagrant-1 stands as called, NBA has ruled. No upgrade, and thus Howard will not be suspended for Game 5.

Obvious inconsistency is inconsistent

Horford shouldn't been ejected doe, I don't mind Dwight not being suspended

I have a gut feeling that Dwight is going to have a trash performance next game

I could envision the refs putting him in foul trouble early in the 1st if Houston starts off hot

.

 

[Nawzlew]

remains a flagrant 1

 

[franchise3]

I respect keeping it at a F1. By the letter of the law, it's definitely a F2, BUT, this would be much ado about nothing if Dwight wasn't called for a bogus F1 on Dirk in round 1. Somebody needs to find a clip. It's a definite make up call/slide.

Dwight or no Dwight, a lot of people had the Warriors in 5, anyway. Here we are.

 

[pjdabullsfan]

It was in the bag if they win that.

Had an 11 point lead with a minute left in the 3rd. You gotta finish teams when you have them on the ropes.

thread is AYO. need QE Meat

Quantitative Easing?

The NBA's review of Dwight Howard's contact with Andrew Bogut concluded that it did not rise to the level of excessive because Howard was trying to free himself from a tie-up with Bogut, president of basketball operations Rod Thorn told CBSSports.com Tuesday.

"It was a very close call as far as I'm concerned," Thorn said. "As Bogut is holding his arm down, Howard tries to extricate his arm. He doesn’t hit him with his elbow, by the way. He hits him with the back of his hand, maybe a touch of the wrist. To me, it was unnecessary, but I didn’t think it was excessive."

The flagrant-1 gave Howard three flagrant points during the postseason. An upgrade to a flagrant-2 would've added a point, resulting in an automatic suspension of Howard for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. A player is subject to an automatic one-game suspension once he exceeds three flagrant points in a single postseason.

"Having been here forever and having done this stuff for a long time, I just try to look at each situation as it comes up," Thorn said. "Obviously, we have all of the information from everything we’ve ever done before, plus tape and video of everything we’ve done before to fall back on. As far as the name of the player, I’ve never let that enter into it."

Thorn said Al Horford's elbow to the head of Matthew Dellavedova the night before in the Eastern Conference Finals also differed from Howard's incident because Howard did not strike Bogut in retaliation.

"What differentiated it as far as I’m concerned was Dwight’s contact was in part to extricate himself from the situation with Bogut," Thorn said. "It was unnecessary and deserved a flagrant-1. Horford’s contact was in retaliation for what he felt Dellavedova had done to him, and to me fit the criteria for unnecessary and excessive."

So basically they're saying neither Taj Gibson nor Al Horford should have been tossed for their Flagrants........

but then they go on to contradict that.  Hilarious

 

[noblekane]

Being mad at people using "we" when referring to teams is probably worse than being mad at reps. The things that offend people

Yea its pretty stupid.

But thats what dudes who dont have a team and are just a player fan get mad at

 

[Peep Game]

Taj should've stayed. Horford, not so much. Once again, this overall still shows that being the person who instigates >>>> being the person who retaliates.

 

[trueprada]

 

Kyrie Irving (and his L knee brace) prior to Game 4 

 

[bravelude]

Hortford said Delldova deserved it and that he needed to learn lol

I have a gut feeling that Bogut or some other loser will cause Dwight to get a tech and suspension next game

 

[JPS]

Yea its pretty stupid.

But low key 99% off the "laker fans" in here are just a fan of a player doe. So why not crucify them too or is it only the uncharteddrakes we crucify?

 

[619destroyer858]
