Was Bynum's foul last night dirty?

Man up pussy.

I agree with the flagrant call, but I wouldn't necessarily call it dirty, but it was at least reckless.

What I would support though, is that the player is not allowed to play for the duration of the other player's injury (obviously, up to a degree). If it is a legitimate flagrant foul, with no intent on the ball, then there should be some consequence for the offending player. The problem with this would be quantifying the extent of the injury.

Sure he was protecting the paint, but a collapsed lung? Gerald Wallace is a lot lighter than Bynum, but he is still 6'6" or so, and is a solid athlete.

I'm also a little reserved about any injury by Wallace. The guy is wreckless and fragile. Not a good combo.

How many games has he missed over his career from various injuries due to him try to fly into other players?

flagrant for sure, but not dirty. dumb play but someone who's pretty overrated.

His nickname is Crash - but it's doubtful that he had enough for behind him to do this on his own.

I don't know. I just don't understand why a 7-footer would need to stick his elbow into a flying player when his arms are so long he could easily have fouled him with arms extended.
