What is with all the travelling calls in this series? Did they just decide to make it a point of emphasis all of a sudden?
|
I watched most of the game, the one they called against Latrell Spreewell's wide open layup was an ovious call.

Anyone have any idea why Peeler was only tagged with a personal foul (plus ejection) while Garnett got hit with a flagrant? Garnett threw an elbow to the chest of Peeler, not unlike a lot of picks that are set in heat of battle of an NBA game. Peeler then sends a forearm to the face of Garnett. Minnesota had possession at the time, got 1 FT, then Sac took 2 FT, and got the ball. Just didn't seem right.

KG was called for a Flagrant 1 personal foul, which results in 2 shots and the ball OOB.
Peeler was hit with a flagrant T, which results in 1 FT. Anytime you have an elbow foul which makes contact above shoulder level, the player must be ejected. Plus you can be sure that Peeler will be fined and will NOT play in Game 7. Why a more severe penalty for the offended team for the lesser foul? I have no idea. |

I saw a forearm to Peeler's chest. It did not seem to me that Garnet's forearm was intented to injure, unlike Peeler's forearm lookin' for the face. mick <HR> Thursday night in Detroit oughta be fun. Nets and Pistons play hard. Fun. |
Do you guys think that the punishment for KG was fair? What would you have done?

I don't know if you saw the whole situation. The previous time down the floor on a box out, Peeler elbowed Garnett in the stomach hard enough to drop him. The Kings went down and scored, the T-Wolves brought the ball bak up court just as Garnett finally got up. Garnett then gave peeler an elbow in the same place as a little payback, then Peeler threw the elbow to the face. So they basically missed the first elbow and that's what started everything else.

Peeler and Garnet are purported to be ex-teammates and close (regular communication) friends (per post game). I figger that was why Garnet went out of his way to lower his forearm when it's natural height was at Peeler's chin. Peeler blew his mind and should pay for the head shot. mick |
