[Video] Ryan Hollins kicks Jeremy Lin (flagrant foul)

I don't get the fascination with punks. Some posters here actually seem to believe that being punks = being motivated. There is a reason that the Pistons Bad Boys are known as such and that in their heyday most people hated them resulting in the league trying to cull such type of behaviors ever since. That's because that ish has got nothing to do with basketball whatsoever.

 

The still looks bad but from watching and the replay I thought at least the stepping part was accidental.

Nonetheless, need an enforcer on this team. McHale is probably pissed that his entire team is soft.

 

GTF UP LIN!!

 

+1
Me thinks that these incidents show the covert racism throughout the league, the extra hard hits JLin has taken, the hair grabbing slam down by(Sportsman of the Kidd last year, Lin"s constant dressing down by Rox coaches during games, etc. JLin is tough as nails, just gets up and tries harder. Hail Jeremy!!!

 

Clippers giving Jeremy Lin a beating. Glad he got back up but someone on our team needs to stand up for him and get a technical

 

Impossible to know whether the stepping is accidental or not.

Without the kick, I probably would accept it as accidental, with the kick, I question this guy's integrity.

 

Enforcer

 

Disgusting Clippers! A bunch of bullies and thugs! Chris Paul did miss both of his freethrows after that BS call at the end of the 3rd quarter. Don't know if he did that out of his sense of guilt or not. If so, I still have respect for him.

 

CP3 is a big-time flopper for sure. Lin did not even move his hand, his act can win a nomination for Oscar. He will lose my respect.

 

Old news. That' Chris helicopter paul. What do you expect?

 

Are you sure he is the one, I thought he is even fear for flying.

 

i know his gm has deteriorated, but lets bring this guy back. loved him as a rocekt. cole aldrich for ronnie?

 

There is also a play Griffin extended his arms all around Asik trying to get a dunk, and Asik was called for a foul, I wonder anyone has that footage?

 

My god that image of Lin's hand and ankle being stepped on. WTF? His knee couldve gotten some damage there. Geez.

 

Any video of that? First, was that Hollins? It's another play, right?

Second, it's doesn't sound likely that he would accidentally step on BOTH the ankle and the wrist. I mean, players are careful not to step on something because it could twist your ankle easily.

 

0:35 second mark in the video on the first page. And yes, it was Hollins again.

 

Worst of all, there was no foul called. Clearly it was a hard foul. They jumped into Lin in mid Air and knocked him down arkwardly.

I dont know if Lin is just too fast or just not calling LIN fouls as usual.

 

Although the still pic looks bad, in the video the stepping does look accidental to me.

That one-two punch at mid court, though, was vicious. And I agree with those who think that Odom was the biggest villain in the whole mess.

 

lol Not sure if srs

 

my buddy was at this game in LA and said it was ridiculous. They had a Chinese lady sing the national anthem, a "karate" halftime show, and asian characters on the screen for stats and stuff...i'm guessing the Clippers efforts to cater to the asian turnout in the crowd made some Clips players jealous of the attention...and some players went with cheap shots to take Lin down a peg. Sucks for Lin because he never retaliates.
