    Joe Ingles and Andrew Bogut are from Australia, they are dirty players. Even in Cricket The Pitcher Pitch dirty to Batters almost throwing the hard cricket ball toward the batters head and Cussing alot after, it seems normal for them to be arrogant.

    this was one of the reasons i preferred to play the jazz. i'd rather not risk injury or suspensions.

    the thunder get frustrated that they aren't as good as they think they are and then they play dirty and try to get under your skin.

    i know ingles is a good antagonist and favors/crowder play rough, but the thunder take it to another level.

    Lol really? The NBA has always had extremely arrogant, ignorant players. Also, OKC is clearly the aggressor here. Yet we’re going to blame Australia?

    I personally find aussie players to have pretty good bball IQ and are solid teammates in general. As for cricket, I don’t know enough about the sport to have any opinions, I’ll have to ask my Indian friends about that.

    You know... what ever happen to having that guy at the end of the bench whose only job is to knock someone on their ass when the other team starts getting a little too chippy?

    We're hoping that's Zhou Qi. Here he is whacking Haddadi in the head to keep him in line.

    Damn, Joe Cheese is a thug. :eek::eek:

    The one thing I noticed is that all this chippiness was happening on the Jazz home floor. Joe Ingles is about to make a ton of Houston enemies.

    Aussie players aren't "dirty" or "arrogant" relative to other nationalities - BUT I thought it's pretty well known that Aussies are some of the biggest trash talkers on earth?

    What brawl? No NBA player today has hit someone and put up his fists ready to fight. Most are or smart enough, but I hate the ones who hit someone because they know there won’t be a fight. The league encourages dirty play and sneaky behaviour. They protect the Warriors and dirtiest players the most.

    Yep, and I'll bet that we'll see plenty of this from Crowder as well

    I don’t think the jazz will be looking to make the games chippy against the rockets. Harden and Paul will benefit from ref trying to calm games down and I don’t think pj Tucker, Ariza, green, Nene are ever interested in taking **** off anyone. Rockets all year have been willing to match intensity but never really let it spill over. Griffin/tunnel game notwithstanding.

    Black is the hammer though haha...they don’t do that BUT IF THEY DID black is the guy you send in to prove a point.
