    he immeadeatly went to help him up, i don't think he was trying to play dirty, just a bad play.

    Say what you will about J-Ho but he and Rafer were the only guys on this squad who stood up for their team mates for about 3 years. Now, we have no one who will do that. Sad.

    That type of foul... is very bad cause players can break their legs and arms very easily...

    LOL You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Zboy again.

    That was just a bad foul, but not dirty. Howard definitely overreacted. Anthony ain't even mad, why you mad?

    NBA is getting softer by the day. "But, but, what if he falls and breaks his arm?" - Oh nos, heaven forbid if Joel Anthony is sidelined for 6 weeks with a broken arm, what will happen to the league then?! Will the sky cave in?! It's a man's game, it's supposed to be physical. A lot of the flagrant fouls and ejections we see these days are simply not necessary.

    I like how after JHo pushes HA he turns around and picks on the smallest Wizard. I think JHo realized that Hilton is still a big dude and then got scared right after the push.

    Nobody would be able to score, everyone would get tackled in mid-air while attempting dunks or jumpshots. If I were in the NBA, I'd simply push everyone in mid-air and break all their arms and legs.

    So true. This reminds of the that r****ded columnist arguing against the new hard line policy the NFL has adopted against excessive force used on tackles.

    Of course in all his cries for blood he neglects to mention that majority of NFL players experience shortened lifespans and brain damage as they get older :rolleyes:

    Hilton Armstrong probably didnt mean to foul him that hard cuz if u watch it again, right after Anthony falls, he puts his hands out to help Anthony back up right before he gets shoved from behind by Juwan Howard

    yeah, always liked that about Howard and Rafer. Even Francis.


    And i can't believe some people think there was nothing wrong with that foul. HA just pushed him in mid-air. That's some dangerous ****, especially if you're going up for a hard dunk.

    You can tell him going over to "help him up" wasn't heartfelt. He was trying to make it look innocent.

    lol..Armstrong went straight to offer his arm to pull Anthony back up, only to face plant into the ground.

    Right... because that's what happened in the era of Michael Jordan and the Detroit Bad Boys, every player got injured and **** rained from heavens, ending the League once and for all.

    Some times people say ridiculous things.
