McBob with some thuggish shit. Get him out of there.

What a punch too. If your going to get thrown out of the game probably a good idea to learn the difference between a closed hand bro fist and a punch.

J. Rich went out with a slap. That's how NBA players fight these days. Though I guess these are all battery and they should all be tossed in jail.

Apparently you didn't watch what you're commenting on. McRoberts just threw a punch at Noah. I'll be sure not to respond to your trolling anymore.

If I punch you in public, with intent to hurt you, it's assault.

e: it's actually battery which is a form of assault.

Battery is not a type of assault. Its the unwanted touching of another person that causes insult or injury. Assault is a verbal threat that puts another person in a reasonable situation to receive a battery.

Gibson's hustle is awesome to see. If Bogans is playing well and making up some offense, or we sub in Korver earlier in games, Taj should get more minutes than Boozer. I don't know what you have to do to get Boozer going, but he isn't playing even close to mediocre. He's been plain bad.

I wanted Thomas to retaliate for that shit in earlier games, but he's been quiet for his standards this series.

No because battery is the unwanted touching of another. If you don't want to be touched as a football player, find a new profession.

Yeah I've been wanting him to club Foster the whole series but I don't think he's really done much other than knocking Hansborough out cold in game 1 or 2.

And you do realize that defenders are trying to cause harm, though, right? And they use excessive force as well. Technically, it's battery. They should all be in jail! Well, at least Ray Lewis.

Oh, and basketball is a contact sport as well. In Noah didn't want to be hit, he shouldn't be fighting for rebounds, should he?

If I say whatever you want me to say will you leave this thread, since you clearly don't understand the concept of basketball.

I agree that is ridiculous but he definitely was trying really hard to make contact but his white genes betrayed him.

God, this is so boring. Now I'm angry at the Knicks for sucking so much that they denied me a Game 5 and a chance to watch the Celtics.

Why is this trolling being tolerated? Giggle, go take a long walk and stop trolling.

He's saying that throwing a forearm in an NBA game is battery and I'm trolling? I'm asking a serious question. There are different rules and laws on a sports field than in real life, or else everyone would be in jail.

It is, that's how fouls are called, genius. I hear a car coming, go back under your bridge troll.
Click to expand...

Fouls are called, arrests aren't made. Do you actually believe that throwing a forearm is battery, is considering breaking the law, and could be prosecuted? And I"m not talking about a hypothetical situation. I'm talking about what McBob did. Could he be found guilty of battery for what he did?

Welp, I'm confident this game is over, with Indy taking techs, I'll be moving on to the NHL thread to talk about my Hawks.

I'm a cop. Technically its illegal but nobody would sign complaints and even if they did, a judge would dismiss charges. Do some research though, there are cases where pro sports players have been charged. You'd have to cause some injury, but it happens.

Nope, because I'm a junior. Berate me.

Giggle, McRoberts didnt throw a forearm. He threw a punch. Noah didn't do anything, you can pretend he did, but the replay had him getting into position.

Huge difference. If you want to discuss this more go talk to the wall, or look up the rules of the NBA. Ask Ron Artest what throwing punches in Detroit got him. He punched players and fans. He got sued for assault.

End.

Hhahha this is a serious post? The concept of basketball? Please do explain. Noah is an irritant. He is a dirty player who gets away with tons of shit because he instigates and hopes players retaliate. McRoberts deserved to be ejected by giggs is right...if you are going to look at a replay why not also "catch" what caused it all? Why not give him a technical for throwing a forearm?

Simple case of Bulls fans only getting pissy about it because its their player. If the roles were reversed no would be calling for battery/assault/ or questioning the concept of basketball.

Noah didn't do anything? I am sure I saw something different along with the commentators.
