Off the top of my head, Rajas RKO on Kobe is the only thing that comes close. Thing is, Kobe wasnt hurt.

This guy is out here hurting people....Barea couldve broke his neck.

You have to make an example out of him...lifetime ban? no.

But something that sends a message.

The way he went down. I thought he did pop his shoulder out of place. The play reminded me of when derek anderson got hurt a few years back.

i personally thought Raja bell clotheslining kobe was pretty damn bad. others may not think so. u may not even think so.

So how much worse does it get than a player deliberately assaulting an airborne opponent who weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 pounds less than the assailant? This doesn't even factor in the context that the game was long decided and the Lakers were getting their butts handed to them.

Bynum threw himself at an airborne Barea, he never looked for the ball, didn't show remorse immediately after the play, and didn't show remorse in the postgame interview. A convincing argument can be made that he fully intended to injure Barea.

Had Barea been seriously injured on that play - which was very much a possibility - we'd be talking about Bynum in the same breath as Todd Bertuzzi. I realize that Bynum won't get banned for life - though that's still what I support - but there needs to be a HARSH penalty for the crap he just pulled. There's no place for his conduct anywhere in sports, and the NBA needs to show that they won't tolerate it.

he threw his elbow into Barea's armpit. not himself.

secondly, what does remorse have to do with it? lol he is not going to jail. is showing remorse gonna make it any better? NO!

so i guess ur gonna this isnt just as bad? or worse? Maxiell could have landed straight on his head......

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

I understand what you are saying Raw, but that Bynum play is one of the dirtiest plays I have seen. You can't defend that man.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Give him 30-40 games and move along. But all this talk about lifetime bans and whatnot? Ummm, how about no?

First thing that needs to be done is to get a new CBA done.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Anything between 10 and 25 games is fine with me, but I wouldn't be mad if he got more.

im not trying to defend it as much as im trying to say it was just too hard of a foul. he was just trying to put barea on his ***. problem is, it was done the wrong way at the wrong time. game is over at that point.

yall should know by now (or at least some of you), im a Laker fan but im not blind. he should be suspended. but none of this 30 games or lifetime stuff a couple people were saying here. thats just going overboard.

EDIT: it shouldnt be and probably wont be anything over 10. im putting my money on 5.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

The 30 game, I can understand giving him considering the fact that this is the 3rd time he's done this and since he basically looked like he didn't give a crap what happened to Barea, the fact that just a few minutes before, Odom got tossed, and that he didn't seem to learn his lesson prior to this, then I got no problem with a 30 game suspension.

This is basically 3 times in a year that he's pulled stunts like that, so lessons need to be taught to him.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

If you're putting your money on 5, then you should expect to lose some money then.

Totally agree. I forgot this is his third time. I change my opinion. And agree with packman. He should get 30.
