    This is not an issue for the league to take care of. It's a ______ move and our enforcer should handle things on the court.

    a headband would solve this problem. Self evident of collision if the headband falls off and it cushion the blow

    Spot except using Mengke as an example. Nobody put the hurt on him because he rode the pine and barely saw any action except garbage time.

    Shaq pretty much said what you did. Get a fine, a technical, a 1 game suspension during the regular season fine. No ideal but next time these guys will think twice before using your head as batting practice.


    Nobody messed too much with Dream because they knew about his history.

    That Tony Allen no-call was inexcusable.

    Yao used to get mauled. They were pretty much holding him by his waist everytinme he went to make a seal in the low post for no calls. The physical treatment isn't even close.

    I'll say one thing, Lin takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' .

    He has two extra ear holes at last count. Roll the tape.

    I remember JVG getting a huge fine pointing out the Ref's bias towards Yao Ming about the same situation. Yao had it much worse though. Big men always do, except if you're Lebron.

    Lin needs to learn some moves from the master himself, CP3.

    I don't know if you've seen it but I've seen it almost every game. Jeremy throws up a high-arching floater and then gets leveled. It happens frequently enough. My theory is that since the refs blow so many whistles for Harden, they swallow their whistles for Lin to compensate.

    Even as a Rockets fan, I don't want to see Harden/Lin shoot 40 FTs a game.

    IMO, if j. Lin were un-Asian :p he would get the head gash calls.

    On the other hand - harden was hacked once against the Mavs and no call was made - blatant hack. Then the s Marion double tap no call - was a joke.

    Officiating is not consistent nor fair in this league. It's a down right joke sometimes.

    So Kevin Love planned to let Jeremy run into his elbow? Damm he's good.


    Watch the replay, Lin put his face in the wrong place. It's fine happen when your go for steals.
