2.

And the other team was obviously in on it, which would be an NCAA violation anyway if it were an NCAA school.

# 32 defended him like he was trying out for the Washington Generals.

I swear I haven't played any level above PS 272 playground and I could've defended better than that. If you are not going to body him at least pull his pants down.

So you're saying maybe he could play with Obama sometime? I saw thirty seconds on the news. My main reaction was "Grinnell?" But that may be what he was going for. 5' 10"?

Around the time of that foul on Larry the Pistons played the bullets in the first round and won in game 5. The next day a friend was flying DTW to DCA. Daryl Walker was at the gate. My friend asked him if Laimbeer was really a dirty player. Daryl said no, he really wasn't. Who was the dirtiest player in the NBA? Well according to Mr. Walker, it was clearly Boston's very own Danny Ainge.
Just remember: Tree Rollins (eta: of the Atlanta Hawks) bit him, not the other way around.

T was right. Cartwright.

So I'm a homer, but I know Suh has done some shit So i know this could be intentional but it seems so in the flow that I can't believe Suh had the acting props to have done it intentionally. Thoughts?

I think he intentionally whipped his leg up. That he caught Schaub in the nuts was just gravy.

The only other time I've seen a leg do that is when I rubbed my dog's belly.

And that's not a metaphor.

The kick was clearly intentional (note the extension after he feels his foot touch Schaub), but the placement clearly wasn't as he was looking the other way.

Looking at it again, the fall seems possibly faked. I just can't wrap my brain around deciding to kick a leg out like that when falling, unless the whole thing was contrived. If it was a complete act, then he should be institutionalized, not suspended.

So obviously intentional that I'm surprised anyone is arguing it.

Why not? Soccer and basketball players often flail wildly when tripped/fouled. No reason Suh couldn't either.

I don't think he flailed wildly. If you look at the video again, you can see that his head is turned to the left and he knows where his body is in relation to Schaub. I don't think he could see Schaub's crotch, but he knew what he was doing halfway through his fall. He may have gotten lucky by hitting him squarely in the nuts, but no one can tell me that that's not what he was aiming for.

That's not what he was aiming for. Wow, that was easy. I win.
