IMO, it wasn't toss-worthy. There was A LOT of acting on Hinrich's part there.

I don't think there was too much acting on Hinrich's part judging by his reaction... If the ref wasn't there, Hinrich would've popped him.

Dont you just love the NBAs objectivity? There is no logical explanation for kicking out 2 Suns players for doing absolutely nothing while Rondo can throw people to the sideline and have nothing happen to him.

God, Why do I love the NBA so much? Its becoming the WWF.

Well, Hinrich was boxing out, pushing Rondo back several yards, then Rondo kinda reversed him and "encouraged" Hinrich to fall into the table. I've had that happen to me on numerous occasions, and it's pretty easy to fall that way. The whole thing is less violent in reality than it looks on TV.

um.. Rondo held Hinrich's arm with both hands and "whipped him" to the table...

If Rondo held his arms up and just got out of the way - then you have a point. However, Rondo clearly grabbed him - watch the replay.

Yeah, I did watch the replay, and Rondo grabbed him, but Hinrich initiated the momentum. He also committed a foul on his box out, as you can't back an opposing player out of the way w/o going for the ball. It wouldn't surprise me if the ref mentioned that to DelNegro when explaining things.
 
Aww man what did I miss??? More flagrant action??? I was installing a new screen door. Damn I missed all the action. I'll have to catch the replay at halftime.

Kinda overstated, but I agree that the Suns' players were unfairly suspended.

NBA now is less physical than in the 90's, and no more so than in the 80's.

Oooh, you're missing A BUNCH!. Pushing, shoving, throw-downs... 😉
 
Damn I missed Rose turning it on again. 20pts at the half.....nice. Just what the Bulls need to win. He needs to be aggressive.
 
Woah I just saw Rondo's foul......he f'n grabbed his arm and threw him. You can't just grab someone's arm and throw them to the sidelines.

If Hinrich hadn't been pushing him, it wouldn't have happened.

Even Charles Barkley, who yesterday was lobbying for Flagrants on Rondo & Howard, didn't think Rondo deserved a Flagrant foul.

Interesting that Pierce gets whacked in the head, yet I'm the only person who mentions it.

Pierce just got whacked in the head again, and is bleeding, yet no foul?

Gimme a break, he clearly thought he could get away with another flagrant 'cause he thought he's some super star.

I know you're still sore from that ass raping the Celts gave the Lakers last season, but don't let your anger cloud your judgement. Thx.

Pierce had to get stitches. Where was the Flagrant foul call? Ejection?

There's clearly a difference between a legitimate play on the ball and a bonehead move like trying to twirl a player who doesn't even have the ball into the scorers table.

To be honest, I didn't even see it. What happened?

After a rebound, a Bulls player inadvertently (IMO) whacked Pierce in the face. He had to leave the game to get stitches. Definitely should have been a Loose Ball Foul, I was being sarcastic about the whole Flagrant/ejection call.

Earlier in the game, Pierce drove to the hoop, a Bull "wound up" (in NBA parlance) and smacked Pierce in the side of the head and neck, in a chopping motion. No call.

Hinrich should not have been aggressively boxing-out w/o going for the ball. That's a foul - it's pushing.
