He threw him down because he lost his balance. Rather than allow V to get the board and easy put back he took v down with him. Y'all must have never played in the post.
"Threw him down"? We'll see if the league agrees with you. Hansborough may have pull him down a little bit, but it wasn't all him. Jonas was leaning up against him and may have a flopped a bit too. He's a big kid and it shouldn't be that easy to throw him to the ground.
I've never liked Hansbrough. Plays chippy like Jeff Foster used to do.. coincidentally on the same team.
nice throw....maybe rocketsjudoka can tell us if there is a judo name for that throw and wtf was that ref doing?
A lot of stuff is happening in the NBA this season.. That was intentional therefore should be penalized.
not lethal, but 100% intentional. Sometimes there is doubt in intent. Not this time...so I say he gets a game even though the actual act wasn't horrendous
haha. why, because i'm a Pacers fan or because i'm Lithuanian? i'm partial to both sides here.. Valanciunas is an off balance player, he doesn't just ram into people, he puts all his weight on them like on a chair. it makes him fun to watch but he does fall down a lot and he gets injured once a week. i don't think Hansbrough actually did much pre-planning or used a ton of power here, Valanciunas is easy to send tumbling in a hurry, but it does look like possibly a suspension.
