    A part of me wanted McHale to bring out Jeff Adrien to deck Kevin Love.

    [rQUOTEr]Love suspended for "driving his foot into the upper body and face" of Scola, league says. Incident upgraded to flagrant foul, penalty two. Love will serve suspension Tuesday vs. Kings and Wednesday at Grizzlies.[/rQUOTEr]

    Nothing on ESPN but Kelly Dwyer is reporting it as well.

    "The league did announce, early Monday afternoon, that Love had been suspended two games for the foul. It was also upgraded from an, um, "not foul" to a flagrant two foul."

    About time. Glad to see that the gravity of the offense was at least recognized by the league.

    Kevin Love gets six days rest. Breaking: NBA Players everywhere begin plans to step on each other's faces to get a GD rest.

    I'm a little surprised, but that's good and appropriate.

    Even for those who think it was an accident: you have a prone opponent, you can be careful getting untangled. Pretty simple.

    They need to suspend the refs too. Scola was mauled on the play then stomped on.. yet no call? A flagrant two it turns out .. yet not even a sniff of a foul call. We sure this league isn't rigged?

    Good, so now posters can stop acting like you should never defend yourself in life. Love got 2 games and the t-wolves still feel like they can sissify the rockets. Great.:(

    Good! Take that, Minny jerks who tried to downplay this. And take this, people who said Scola should have retaliated. That punk Love is suspended, Scola is not. We are the good guys here.

    I think the 2 game suspension is fair since you can't clearly say it was intentional. If it was though i would expect at least 10 games. It is what it is.

    A flagrant 2 means he should have been tossed right? But instead the refs just made it a no call but it was so out of the norm of their usual calling of flops or defender's jersey grazing against the opposing player's skin. NBA officiating at its finest.

    I just heard an interview with David Khan and he confirmed before the announcement to expect suspension for Love. So this is confirmed from the Timberwolves' front office.

    LEAGUE SAYS: TWO GAME SUSPENSION

    Still think he should get his arse whopped, but at least they acknowledged the injustice...a bit.

    More proof that In-game officiating in the NBA is a travesty. When will Stern figure out that it is killing the game?

    Still can't believe there was no whistle in the game for that, at least they've fixed and suspended Love for 2 games....
