Yeah I can't wait til cp3 get's back. Obviously, this team isn't good withouth him. But 2-2 without him isn't that bad. I was expecting 0-4

yup all 3 of them are really needed. i didn't think tyson would be such a huge difference but the rebound margin and pts in paints... its killing the hornets and pissing me off

i'm unclear on the rule. the rule book says a flagrant 1 is a personal foul using unnecessary force. and a flagrant 2 is one with unnecessary and excessive force. so whats the difference? if its unnecessary then it is excessive. but even tho i think it did warrant the more serious of the 2 fouls, there was no intent to hurt the guy. he was just going after the ball but his body was out of control and he missed his target. definitely did not deserve to be suspended, thats for sure.

My take on the foul was that as Miller was coming down the lane, he was dribbling the ball pretty high. It looked to me like West expected him to keep that high dribble and pick it up high as he went to the rack.

When he picked up his dribble, Miller kept the ball low, so West's vicious hack hit nothing but Miller's head/neck.

No doubt it was a flagrant foul...it just didn't look to me like West was trying to maim the guy IMO IMHO FWIW NBA SEC BCS.

First time I saw the play. He deserved the suspension. He did not make a play on the ball and made direct contact with the guys head. It was an anger play and deserved the suspension, plus it was only one game not like it was a harsh suspension.
