Serge Ibaka's Flagrant Foul

[Punk]

 

How the hell did he not get ejected? I bet Dwight Howard would've got suspended if he did that.

[Punk]

Kobe on television saw Serge Ibaka punch Clipper forward Blake Griffin below the belt Sunday.

 

Bryant didn't like it. In fact, Bryant didn't hide what he would have done if the Oklahoma City forward hit him the same way.

 

"I probably would have smacked him in the mouth," Bryant said Monday at practice.

Ibaka hit Blake right in the UVO

Someone needed to step up and level that guy. That's BS

[nate]

Ibaka must be a soccer player.

MWP would have been suspended for a month.

It's bullshit that he didn't get thrown out. If that isn't a flagrant 2...than WTF is? That's a 5 game suspension, at least.

[xboom28x]

He got just a fine. No suspension

[OregonLAA]

It got upgraded to a flagrant 2. Well in the game that would have meant he got tossed. He affected the outcome of the game so it's too late for that. Well, maybe they'll suspend him for a game to make up for it, right? Nope. The NBA is a joke when it comes to this stuff

[EE_]

Punching someone in the balls must qualify as a "natural basketball act" right Stu Jackson and CFR Stern?

Damn, only 25K?  D-Wade got a 1 game suspension and fined 200K for that kick or whatever on Sessions.

Lesson from this instance: If you want to punch someone during a game, punch them in the gnads. You won't get suspended.

[Agalloch]

Figures it would be someone from OKC to get away with it...

Quick, somebody make another "NBA CARES" video package to save the image of the league!

i was at this game and i think this is why i don't care for basketball. the ref was looking at the replay on the monitor. they showed the replay many times on the big screen at staples. it was completely obvious that ibaka should have been ejected. yet he wasn't ejected. it always makes you wonder if everything is on the up.

[OregonLAA]

I've wondered this about the NBA before. They had a nationally televised game on TNT tonight. I wonder if that helped the decision not to suspend him
