Gerald Wallace taken to hospital with collapsed lung

So you haven't seen the video and yet you make a conclusion, come on man

 

bumping this to the second page.

 

I think it was a Flagrant 1, but it was not with vicious intent to hurt him.

I hope Wallace recovers soon, the Cats need him, they're on the upswing.

 

I don't know if you're a Lakers fan or not, but Bynum definitely gave him an intentional elbow/forearm shot to the ribs. He wasn't making a playing on the ball at all. He didn't even jump. Even the Lakers announcers admitted it. In my book this is a dirty play warranting a fine and suspension.

Thanks for posting the link with the video of the incident.

 

His name is OCballfan so do you think he might be a Lakers fan? LOL.

 

I'm a Laker fan but I agree with what mozart said, he wasn't able to make a play on the ball hence gave him a hard foul so the flagrant 1 is deserved. It wasn't like Bynum put his elbow out and poked wallace in the ribs, Bynum was trying to recover into the paint and he just can't out quick Wallace

 

It could mean I'm a Rocket fan from OC as well ya know but im not haha

 

did you even read what I posted?

 

Your an idiot. If you do not want to give up a layup you go for the black and foul his arms, or go up and meet his body with your body.
NOT HIS RIBS WITH YOUR ELBOW, This is not MMA.

You are more of an idiot because you actually think you are right, as opposed to just being a troll.
Wallace did not tuck away the ball, he put the ball straight up in the air as high as he could, and BYNUM ELBOWED HIM IN THE RIBS.
Thats about 5FT AWAY from the ball.
Unless Bynum thought Wallace was going to dunk with the ball below his chest, of course. Because that makes alot of sense.

God you fanboys will argue anything.

 

you said you haven't seen the vid yet

 

and I said i havnt been able to judge this particular situation because of that

 

You go for the black? you mean the back? how? Wallace is lighting quick you put your arms out there and try to reach for the ball. Bynum hoped he'd put his arms up hoping to contest it but Wallace was just too damn fast and got to him quick so he didn't have an opportunity to jump...isn't Bynum's arms up in the air? Look at the video, you blind fool, he had 7 blocks after all so he was trying to contest it. This is not Yao Ming, he's not gonna roll over.

Your the one twisting this around.

 

are you watching the same video I just saw. To me, it looks like Bynum ducked and stuck his elbow in Wallaces chest. He really didnt go vertical at all. I don;t think he was trying to hurt him or anything but he could not have played that play any worse

 

well it was a bang bang type play, he put his arms out to where wallace is because he obviously can't get quickly in good position to draw the charge.

 

No i do not mean the back i mean the block, its pretty obvious I misspelt the word. The time it takes for bynum to put his arms straight up far shorter than the time it took for wallace to reach bynum.
Bynums arms are level on a horizontal plane, straight across his shoulderline.
And i have watched the video, many many times unlike some people who just jump to conclusions.
Oh and he had 7 blocks already so he HAAAD to be going for the block, because thats what basketball coaches teach you. To count every block you have during the game in the hopes of reaching your 10 or your career high or whatever your goal is, instead of the game.

Also you do realise if he didnt do anything and stood there, wallace would not have made the dunk and bynum would have commited a blocking foul, right? As opposed to elbowing his in the ribs and commiting a flagrant foul.

But you do have a point.
Bynum could just be amazingly stupid to a point that I cant even fathom to be possible.

 

So you're not gonna take the lightning quick speed that Wallace is coming into the lane into consideration? Just a possesion before Okafor had knocked down a J from the perimeter so Bynum was drawn out of the paint, when Wallace got by after Kobe gambled Bynum had to step into the paint to contest the shot but Wallace did a great job of getting to him quicker hence Bynum can't do nothing but put his arms up and thats exactly what he did. Bynum is slow footed after all, there's a reason why pick and roll is very effective against us.

 

if he just stood there? thats not what the coaches teach you, they teach you go after the ball. Look the intent was there to commit the foul but to injure him? No.

 

byenumb should be suspended for as long as wallace is held out of games

 

LOL.
Okay mr fanboy, you win.
You have brought me to the conclusion that you lack a little something that we normal people call reason.

 

You can't argue that was a bad play. I'm sure Bynum didn't do it expecting what happened but it was a dangerous play... it's why the rules are there.. to try and avoid injuries. He deserves a suspension of some sort... guy that size gotta learn you can't go doing dangerous crap like that.
