    if htownrox1 didn't like my threads he wouldn't go on it and he did.

    I just thought it was funny that an Olajuwon hater is calling people unclassy.

    if you actually have been on this board long enough, you know the need for education.

    And youtube is only one tool you can use , it doesn't tell the whole story.

    How in the ***** is that not a foul on Love? That was nowhere NEAR going for the ball. He TRIED to get a foul, and the refs didn't even call that.

    This league is rigged.

    He may not have planned it but as the situation formulated itself he definitely seized the opportunity to get that shot in. I've tripped over several people in my time and my reaction is to never completely follow through with my step when I realize something isn't right beneath me. My reaction was to always hang my foot up in the air as long as I could to soften the landing for the other person. Not only does Love go all the way down without care, he even pushes off with the foot :)45). If it was unintentional he would have used his other leg to carry his weight out of the situation not push off the foot that is planted on Scola's chin. Love's no reaction afterwards is evidence he knew what he did and it was no accident.

    i wouldn't say rigged. they just have a list of who can get the calls and who can't, though they say otherwise and laugh that there is no such thing.

    I would even support the Rockets stopping play completely at that point.

    Don't continue the game until the referee is properly made aware of the incident.

    Don't retaliate with violence, but don't accept playing under dangerous conditions. That was a really bad foul by a seemingly nice guy.

    I agree that the no-call might be weirder than the head stomp, which is saying something.

    If love gets a 1-game suspension, the refs should get more than that. LOL.

    You're applauding "moral victory" against the Minnesota Timberwolves?

    REALLY?

    I mean REALLY?

    The man purposely stomped Scola's face! Think about it!

    I think that Artest Rockets team would have reacted differently, but that was a different team.

    Also, the fact that Scola just kept playing and not go after Love means that it wasn't a big deal to him. That' my thought on it.

    Trolling. Call outs. Name calling.

    Yup. Typical tinman.

    It was intentional. But he apologized. So that's cool. I'll wait and see if Love does that kind of thing again, like Bynum's repeated cheap shots even after he apologized.

    What's hilarious is Love intentionally fouling Scola in frustration of not getting the call on his basket, and yet the refs DON'T CALL THE FOUL!

    It looks like no matter the excuse that should be a suspension coming.

    Kevin Love is a punk thug

    Kevin Love is a punk thug. Alot of Clutchfans blamed Brooks last year when he got in a little scuffle with Love

    But the reality is Love is a punk cheap shot artist who does this petty type of B.S. all the time

    in the alternate angle, you can see scola turning over and running into Love's feet, leaving him with little room to step on, so love didnt "time" his steps.... scola opened the door and made it easier for love to follow through...not putting the blame on scola, but implying Love planned it is over the top, so dont expect a big punishment, especially after he apologized.
