HOLY CRAP! Only heard about this, and this was the first I had seen it. WOW! If this happened in Houston, then the crowd would have started throwing things on the court. Love needs to be out at least 2 games IMO. Scola did flop on both ends of the court though.

If Pop was the coach of the Rockets, and that kick was missed by the officials, then it would have take every assistance coach to hold him from going off until he was ejected. (even Vaughn)

McHale should have been defending his players and went off. If anything for his players safety.

Do or do not! There is no try!

lol yup was just about to put that. But yeah, I wouldn’t expect that from love. I get that those slick Argentinian moves(flops) are frustrating but he went to far.

This is just sad. I always saw Kevin Love as a player of class. Apparently not. I don’t think this is just some “accident”, either. I play ball occasionally, and I would rather forego the fast break than risk stepping on someone on the floor, especially not on the face. Play with class, or don’t play at all. SMH.

In his defense, they often play on, even when a guy is on the floor in the key when everyone is jumping at the hoop. Heck, there was a Spurs game like that recently where the guy was under the hoop on the floor. Luckily, no one jumped on him. I don’t find that much different, since the potential for bad injury is right there.

I still don’t think Love is dirty. This is the first time he’s been involved in anything questionable. And i’d bet he’s likely not to see anything like this again in his career.

Winter is coming
