I imagine that Shaq will be fined. And he knows this, too. Having said that, he feels comfortable making his comments for the $5000 (or whatever) it will cost him.
When a person is settled with the reprecussions of their actions, especially so shortly after the event, it begs a serious look at the situation.
I would love to be a fly on the wall if the NBA Observer at that game talked with the officials after the game. (Anyone know who that is?)
I did not see the game, but did she a highlight or two and I think a foul call on someone defending Vince at the end of the game is not unreasonable.
Both star players complained, as did the coach of the Raptors. I think it deserves some consideration. (Coach O'Neill, I've found, is very good as answering a question without answering it. I try to read man of his comments because I feel he's a good communicator in that regard.)
