it's some euro shit going on between those two, Spain vs. France gettin' gully haha.. still did everyone forget about that elbow from Kobe to Nelson in OT that led to the Fish's 3? No call whatsoever, so I'm guessin' that being down 1-3, they'll let Pietrus slide on the hard foul because it didn't escalate past the yelling.
this is a ridiculous statement... your up 5 with 10 sec left and you wanna shoot two free throws instead of a guaranteed 2 point dunk? 2 point dunk ends the game, 2 missed free throws means orlando still has an outside shot to tie barring a steal or another missed free throw...
and on the pietrus foul - he should be suspended however it would be an injustice to the NBA and the magic seeing that he is the only productive bench player that they have... if gasol didnt grab rim he easily could have broke bones or maybe even his neck - what a sore loser!
GTC I rarely use foul language, but this warrants it YOUR AN ASS
How the Fu*K can you say that because a guy Dunks the ball to SEAL the game he deserves to get a Cheapshot??
Your a young punk kid, who really needs to grow the F up....If you ever played any kind of college foot, base, basket ball you would understand.
If Pau doesn't dunk that ball....Phil Jackson would rip him a new one and rightly so
If they were up 10 then you don't dunk, but a 2 possesion game???
ALSO if your up 10 pt's you still don't give a cheapshot, that is of course you want your legs taken out the next time you play.
These are there livelihoods....Imagine if someone came into your place of work and knocked your teeth in.....Oh wait you don't have a job
Yes, he deserves it. Pietrus said he didn't mean to foul Gasol that hard, but look at his facial expression on the replay. Pietrus is grimacing with menace as he reels back his forearms and thrusts it with all his being into Gasol's helpless back.
Pietrus is a piece of shit, but oh well. Pietrus might as well have murdered Gasol. NBA never does anything to the underdogs. Look at Dahntay Jones.

In the regular season, yes. In the playoff, no. Unless it's warranted like getting off the bench like Stoudemire to Nash, otherwise, it's playoff basketball.
But who cares if someone takes it the wrong way, i say if there is 48 minutes to play, then play all of it. More better if there some overtime minutes. Even if Pau decided to run out the clock, there's no way he wouldn't get foul by either Pietrus or Lewis, because they were coming at him pretty quick.

Not really rubbing it in.
It was 5 PT game with under 5 seconds left. He scored with 3 seconds but the play started earlier as he went for the dunk with 5-6 left. Magic still had a shot until Turky bricked that last 3 with 13 sec to go.
it was a 2 pos game so its much smarter to take the points over bricking 2 FT and giving the magic a chance for desperation 3 and a foul. Anything can happen.
