Look at this, the NBA is trying to grow a pair. What a shocker.
John Wall (the under achieving rookie, whose dance moves get him more recognition then his game) punches Big Z of the Heat.
When I first heard of this, I thought Wall had to jump to punch Z in the face. Little did I know, Wall actually punches Z in his left side. A Hook to the ribs maybe. One punch then a whole lot of jawing, and nothing really.
Wall gets a 1 game suspension which is total crap.
One of the NBA's biggest problems is its inconsistency. Amare (yes I'm referring to the Suns) gets a game suspension for leaving the bench and walking onto the court, suspending him for game 6 at home against the Spurs - which they would eventually lose.
Wall intentionally inflicts harm on another player and gets the same suspension? How about Bynum acting like a fool and charging into Beasley? Ya, its a flagrant and dangerous foul, but he didn't intentionally mean to hurt the guy. Wall meant to hurt Z with that punch. Cock sucker.
The NBA needs to enforce its rules consistently. Because if you don't you have pissed off fans wondering 'what if' years later.
Next,
The Lakers and Mav's scuffle. Tough guy Barnes and.... Steve Blake? I feel as if Blake's parents were really concerned watching that. So tempers 'flare' and Barnes get ejected. No punches thrown, but Barnes got a good shove in.
The more interesting part of the night was when it appeared a woman at Staples Center tried to rush the court near the Mavericks bench. She was immediately escorted out by the 'red jacket crew.'
This is what I hate about the NBA. As soon as the woman tried to rush the court and crowds were being formed and commotion started.. the NBA pans away from the action. Putting it on Lamars face, or the Coaches.
I wanna see what's happening! Especially when the crowd is getting involved. Who can forget the Rumble at the Palace? That was amazing! I love how the aggression spreads from the court into the crowd! Finally! Some aggression!
Its all organic really. You get that many hood players in one arena and and of course something will go down. Its too bad not every team is conducted of Grant Hill's and Dwight Howards.
BTW.
Baseball still has basketball beaten in the violence department. Actually, Id say all sports have basketball beat.. all but soccer.
