He got tossed again tonight... <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/auDhSzgGKyc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> It's kind of sad to see him start down this path. It seemed to start last year with his bickering with Ariza and flared back up again this year after Lowry took over his starting gig. Definitely not the player I remember from a few years ago.
For AB, the problem tonight wasn't getting tossed with a minute left in what ended up being a blowout, it was his ineffectiveness. Seemed like defenders were glued to him and he couldn't shake anybody. Eric Maynor had his number tonight. AB should be able to score easily against backup PGs.
Okay so Dowdell got ejected. AB grabbed his junk and was saying **** to the Mauer. AB gets thrown out. Question is, why did Dowdell get ejected?
Why did Nash get a T? Anybody watch the game? THAT would have been hilarious....0 PGs playing for the suns! tbh, i don't think that warrants a T or being tossed . Just my two cents. I see players do that all the time in the NBA, i don't know why they're partial about it, i think someone a couple of season ago on the rockets got T'd up for it too.
What was the context of this? Hard to say he got thrown out for grabbing it. Dont players, don't men in general, do that from time to time? Was it aimed at a fan?
Holy****! kicked 2 players off the court in a 8 sec span! thats gotta be some quick shootin by the reff. Pow Pow.
Word on the Sun's forum is that Dowdel said he got "Disrespected". Not anything like racist, but along the lines of your a scrub and you should be happy that your getting any playing time or money at all probably when he was asking about a call. Brooks then said something like "You should have waited till we got off the court" or something to back him up but not to maur. The crotch thing seemed like reason to toss him since he was pissed so i think thats why maur did it. Not sure if dowdel was right in talking back but if its true then thats fd' up.
you do, the suns are going to send a letter to the league with footage it seems. I don't know how stuff works in sterns dictatorship so I don't know what to make of it.
more from gortat, conspiracy???? / Something deff. sounds really fishy to me. Wheres toycen when you need him?
so grabbing your shorts is a way to say FU to someone now? ima try that at work tomorrow to see if anybody notices.....
The NBA has put a hush order into place, meaning something is going to be announced tommorrow, gortat really seems to make it sound like He'll get shot if he says something now, and dowdel was the same way. Sorry for multiple posts, I'm only doing it through the digging. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pFD4lMAJ29E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KyByBFxYlXk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> "I've been told not to talk about." "He was incredibly disrespectful."
Next game AB should try to mend fences with the refs. It'll be bad for him if he gets a target on his back. I thinks after the ball-tossing incident, he's gained a bad reputation.
Brooks has a history of being a hothead and needs to learn how to control his emotions. BUT reportedly in this situation he was sticking up for his teammate who the official called a b**** (maybe more, the team was instructed to not talk about it). I don't really blame a guy for getting fired up in a situation like that.
AB really went down a slippery slope...once you get on the bad side of the officiating fraternity, you might as well kiss your career goodbye.
