But If this keeps up, the lakers will be in my least favorite team..."<BR/><BR/>I guess you've never seen Kurt Rambis get fouled by Kevin McHale, or Rodney Stuckey get fouled by Shaq (while playing for PHX), or Jason Maxiell get fouled by Kendrick Perkins, or Anderson Varejao get fouled by Big Baby Davis, or Mike Miller get fouled by David West, or Ilgauskas get fouled by Rasheed Wallace, or Rajon Rondo get fouled by Marvin Williams, or Luol Deng get fouled by James Posey (while playing for MIA)...<BR/><BR/>Hard (maybe dirty) fouls occur all the time.

The guy was swinging his arm like a flail and it was bound to end ugly especially in a fast-break situation. Maybe no malice was intended, who knows, but that play (if anyone can call it a play) was cheap, dirty and reckless. <BR/><BR/>Anyone who thinks that Rudy was flopping, they can try to imitate the situation for themselves. When someone loses balance in mid-air during the full speed drive-in, flopping will be the last thing that pops into their mind.<BR/><BR/>This incidence looks very similar to when Gerald Wallace went down after being elbowed by Bynum. That play (again, if you can call it a play) was also cheap and dirty, without the respect for the fellow player's welfare. I hope the Lakers aren't en route to becoming the league's dirtiest team. They are the heavy favourites to win it all this season, and winning dirty simply soils the league's image.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a fan of Blazers nor Lakers, but as a fan of NBA, a foul play like this should not go unpunished.<BR/><BR/>It's good to hear Rudy's injury isn't too serious though... Blazers cannot afford to lose Rudy at this time of the year, not especially when Oden is likely to miss more games.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854525496305284831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708814052129381665.post-60622645460742268042009-03-10T13:38:00.000-07:002009-03-10T13:38:00.000-07:00ALL YOU BLAZER FANS OVER DO IT.

That's the right call. They are still reviewing Lamar Odom's situation and I'm sure he will get a game suspension. However, Trevor was clearly going for the ball and meant no harm. And by the way, Laker fans do have class by showing their concerns for Rudy. If tables would have been turned, would we see any Blazer well wishes on the Laker blogs....probably not.

I don't think the fowl was meant to hurt Rudy per se, however one thing that people didn't seem to notice is that after Ariza bumped Rudy on the head, his arm came down and locked around Rudy's arm. It was the locking down around Rudy's arm that caused him to spin in the air out of control. After the initial swipe, which could be considered going after the ball, he tried to hinder Rudy's motion.

But that was NO flagrant foul! Seriously, do you really believe that? It is obvious that Trevor was going for the ball and accidentally got a little bit of Rudy's head, he wasn't trying to do anything malicious(HELLO! WATCH THE REPLAY!!!). A small bump and Rudy's OWN momentum were the reasons Rudy was introduced to Mr. Ground. Blazzers were playing hard! It was crazy! Obviously the better team last night, that was a well deserved W. and we deserved the L(woo hoo Lucky 13).<BR/><BR/>As for Lakers being floopers, I'll let our record (50-13) speak for itself. And ball hogs???? Isn't that the whole purpose of basketball? you want the ball on your side most of the time so that you get more chances at scoring points???<BR/><BR/>Some need to use words a little more careful, somebody wrote, "Rudy, I can't wait to see you on the floor again!" Ta loco "I can't wait to see you on the floor again." Look at what happened last time Rudy was on the floor....
