[Video] Ryan Hollins kicks Jeremy Lin (flagrant foul)

How is that not automatic ejection?

 

Because he's part of the Hollywood Clippers, where you can play like b****es all game long.

 

He's trying out for the Bowen school of non-defense.

If Lin had been Kobe or Lebron then that's an automatic ejection and all the news sources talking about it tomorrow.

 

Lin went from being punned to being punt.....

 

Clippers have the most douchebags in the league by a large margin.

 

Relax, these types of momentary lapses are common. Just look at Ron Artest.

 

ever drop something and try to catch it/slow it down with your foot? maybe he was taking it to another level

 

WTF

What a ****ing classless c****

 

Looks like his ankle got rolled a bit there too.

 

That mandates a multiple game suspension

 

Spoiler

 

It honestly can't just be me. I feel like teams tend to foul Jeremy Lin much harder than they would anyone else in the league. It's not just about him "not knowing how to land right." It's been demonstrated time and again, and as a Rockets fan it's seriously starting to piss me off. No respect. Same thing happened with Yao and the ridiculous (lack of) officiating.

 

Hollins was just following Odom's lead wasn't he?

First Odom kicks Lin to knock him down, then Hollins kicks him while he's down.

Shocked that the Odom one wasn't a flagrant, you can't just lead with your leg like that? Or can you???

 

hollins stay with them dirty tactics. guys around the league knows he is a certified bum. always with the fake tough guy act.

 

sometimes i wish we had an enforcer type guy, heck, someone a little "crazy" to protect our players...ron artest

 

I missed the play during the game. Seeing it now... How is that not a flagrant 2? Totally out of bounds.

 

Yeah, I thought Odom's hit was more malicious. Looks like Hollins was trying to kick the ball out of frustration at the other end and Lin happened to fall while Hollins was kicking.

 

That was awful.

Poor Jeremy.

 

I commented earlier in the game thread that someone with editing skills make a compilation videos of every foul on Lin that the refs don't call. And at the end of it show fouls called on Lin in which he barely touches the guy, or some ridiculous flop the refs fall for. Including when he played on the Knicks, because there were some ridiculous calls that year too. I bet you that video would be making rounds in the NBA and online. Lin really gets destroyed going into the lane and a lot of times the refs just let it go, then call a foul on the other end for someone barely getting touched.

 

We have that guy. He made his RGV debut yesterday.
