Come on now... Barkley and Inside the NBA is easily the best and most entertaining sports show on the air. I will watch a game I am not even interested in if its on TNT.

[valhallalk]

how could you watch the nba without understanding it to begin with?

you don't get suspended unless there was malice in the action. trying to space a pick and time it to get around it quickly doesn't get you suspended. it's a smart play.

maybe scola and the rockets should cry less. the contact was all chest and scola holds his face like he got smashed.

[RealShakaZulu]

Malice? How could you comment without knowing the NBA rules or at least taking the time to Google it before responding.

"A flagrant foul-penalty (2) is unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent. It is an unsportsmanlike act and the offender is ejected immediately.

The offender will be subject to a fine not exceeding $35,000 and/or suspension by the Commissioner."

Knowledge is Power...get some.

Scola isn't soft....he's smart.

He knew the second it happened, Fisher would get ejected and/or suspended. If he retaliated, he would have definitely gotten suspended, causing the Rockets to have big problems onward.

I remember this game - they were hitting the Lakers with cheap shot after cheap shot - and doing it with bench players.

Fishers message was clear. "Try and hurt us and we will fuck you up." That's how the game has always been played.

With that being said, Odam and Bynam should have played their last games as Lakers because of what they did in the loss to the Mav's. It's a shame that I think they will both be back - the team needs to regroup and the management needs to demand class over wins.

[vatsacycle]

didnt anybody hear "kick him in tha balls"

[clitobond]

Just like Laker fans. Applaud the cheap play. BLATANT cheap shot and they're defending it. And you wonder how OJ got off. It's because they had retards like the people in this comment section on the jury.

@DrQuiteno nah, ur an idiot, scola is a soft pussy ass foreigner, fishers got an upper build that would fuck him up, dumb faggot. shut up unless u know shit

[DrQuiteno]

Imagine if scola did that dirty shit to fisher he would send his little ass across the floor!

[hearthustle]

all of you saying fisher is tough are ignorant laker fans.

hes dirty, if your tough you confront the man face to face, not deliver a cheap shot.

scola is tough, cuz that lil pussy play didnt even phase him. he kept playin his game n helped the rockets pull of the upset.

he kept makin odom n bynum look like rooks.

lakers better look out for the rockets this year.

[kbdemonbain]

@jgposner you are so full of shit lol

D fish is one of the toughest guys in the nba, ya he knew what he was doing, he was sending a message to the rockets, and guess what, it worked they went in and won game 3, the series then 2 straight nba titles, so complain all you want scola got his ass knocked down and good for D fish

[ClemsonFan46]

Smart play from Fisher.  Scola is a very average player that was playing out of his mind early in the series, and having his way in the post. Fisher lays him out, and Scola is a non-factor in the rest of the series.

[ARod016]

Just like a hockey hit. Shoulder to chest, fucking beauty. Atta boy fish!

[stallionplaya52]

Wow, a hit to the chest. Who gives a shit. Intentional or not intentional, he hit'em, oh well, get over it, aggressive play happens.
