Brook "Cheap Shot" Lopez

[PJAZZ19]

I say we yell "cheap shot" at Mr. Lopez when the Nets play the Kings at Arco from now on.

:-D

Missed the game...

What happened?

I've seen a LOT LOT worse. Bee has a pic of it right now on front page but vid would be better to see. It was given Flagrant 1 - not a Flag 2. JT was down for minute or two and went to the bench during time out. Came right back on the floor looking just fine to hit one of his two FT's. I'm not getting all worked up over it.

Flagrant 1 foul chopping JT as he went up for a dunk

 

[PJAZZ19]

True, could have been worse.

Still, I think it's neat to have "stuff" like that as fans. Takes you back to 1999!

I bet that hurt even more than an Art Blakey press-roll to the head!

The foul was excessive, but he was doing all he could to prevent his team from going 0-16. You need your big men to do that every once in a while. I say that, because I would love to see JT or Hawes commit a hard foul like that.

Agreed. Let's use it.

Yeah, Hawes, JT, or a KT-Brockman tag team foul!

It was just a fragrant foul (never wanna see it but it happens) ... nothing really cheapish in this situation. Dirk drooped Kirilenko much harder last season or 2 seasons ago.

Agreed. I'm not for cheap shotting or hurting a guy, but Lopez wasn't going to give up an easy dunk. He didn't go for the head or undercut JT, just hard across the arm and body.

 

[Chupacabra]

The Kings need to commit fouls like that against LA.

Agreed!

I would LOVE to see Hawes do something like that!

 

[dbfish]

Agreed!

I would LOVE to see Hawes do something like that!

But not until we get a third big man to come off the bench.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

ahh cant blame lopez. Hes did what he had to do for his team. It just happends that JT was coming at him in hyper mode.. It was a flagrant but not really a cheapshot.

 

[King Baller]

Speaking of cheap shots and the Lakers Who watched Fisher unload on Scola in the playoffs last year? Fisher read the play, saw Scola coming in to set a pick and dropped his shoulder and hit Scola a lick that Ronnie Lott would have been proud of. Scola saw stars for sure and was obviously dazed a bit.
