IlliniKrush Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I don't even care about the Bulls or the NBA really, but i happened to see that play, and that's complete and utter crap. He was trying to get around him, and it was completely accidental. Wicked gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 That's some BS. His elbow skid Tayshaun's eye. It wasn't a concentrated blow. At the time, I never would have thought that he'd get a suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew they f***ed up then and have to make up for it. We are lucky he was not ejected last night... the refs must have missed it.

danman31 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 This is so they could suspend him without suspending Haslem for retaliation after hitting Wade. Gotta protect your superstars. :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxin' Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 That's f***ing bulls***. I don't know what I'll do without watching Noch. He can pick which game to miss, right? Because he has to play at Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 QUOTE(DaBullzApr 12 @ 2005 -> 05:33PM) BTW, I watched the WMV file someone posted, and it was clear that Nocioni decked Prince. It was vicious, malicious, and intentional. He's lucky the Pistons already had a scrape this year, it is so close to the playoffs, and Detroit is humming along. Otherwise, it could have been a real ugly brawl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyWhiteSox Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 06:35 PM) No clue where that was from... Anyways, it's only a matter of time before "unintentional" shots become too much to be considered an accident. I respect playing hard, but I, personally, don't want to have a thug on my team. Noc can develop into a solid player without having to be a thug and play dirty. Frustrating lebron, for example, is acceptable...But as I said in the game thread, I didn't like how that elbow looked. It's not like he has a clean slate and this was hist first offense... I applaud stern and the league for making an aggressive decision. He's clearly head-above-shoulders when it comes to sports commisioners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at it and slow it down he clearly did not mean it as has been said many times through out this thread.

I'm just saying it looked intentional to me. Hopefully, it wasn't. I would prefer he not gain a reputation as a dirty player because I think he can develop into a solid player without having to be thought of as dirty. By the way, the person you quoted was saying it was intentional... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) In other news, Chris Duhon split Skiles' head open by opening a locker into his face after last night's game. They showed Skiles with the stitches in his head. Duhon was joking that Skiles told him he was going to be released because of it.
