Because There Is Going To Be Way Too Much Talk About This BS, I Have Decided To Settle It Once And For All

The following is a special public service announcement from The Corndogg.

Jason Kidd should be suspended for Game 5 against the Hornets. Period. Fin. Over.
Not to recall everyone's (very much including my own) bitching topic from last year, but if Amare and Diaw get docked a game (AND THIS WAS A GAME THAT MATTERED!) for stepping four freakin' feet off the bench last year against San Antonio, then a man who violently horse collars a guy in mid-air just as the victim's team is starting to put the game away, then he should get a game. No other argument.

I know the two scenarios are different. Amare and Diaw broke a "rule." Well, you know what? So did Kidd. The NBA penalizes people who commit fouls. If you commit enough of them, you are sent out of the game. If you commit too many technical fouls, you are ejected as well. Sometimes, you get suspended for those. Therefore, if a foul that you commit comes striking close to causing a major injury to another player and you don't pull a Duncan face (as if you did nothing wrong), then it is vicious and irresponsible basketball. Plus, awful sportsmanship.

So if the NBA brass has any balls (I hate to bring common sense into the equation, because that could be debated for years), they will suspend Kidd. Why does it have to take someone getting seriously hurt, which Pargo could have been, before they act? Oh, they can stop a couple of guys jumping off a bench in the heat of a moment to check on a teammate who got hip checked into the scorer's table, but a guy who could have single handedly ruined a guy's career and paralyzed him for life just gets a couple of "aw schucks" comments and a bad tongue lashing? The NBA makes me want to vomit. Just do what is right and suspend Kidd. So we can quit talking about this useless moment in series that is D-O-N-E, DONE!

The preceeding was a special public service announcement from The Corndogg.

Absolutely- He should be suspended. That was as an obvious act of frustration and it was dangerous. He should probably get two games, Game 5 and the first game of next year...

At least it isn't Dirk melting down this time - yet.

I agree though, if Dirk got suspended for the foul on AK47, I don't see how this is any different. And actually the foul was worse that Kidd did.

Done, done, and done.

Toss Kidd, and suspend him. The Mavs may actually play better, next game...

It could possibly have been accidental, but there was no concern on Kidd's face, no indication that he'd done anything other than what he'd intended to.

MAD CRAZY props to Pargo, though, and the rest of the Hornets for not going completely crazy at seeing one of their own judo-flipped in mid-air by an overpaid, underperforming has-been...

I'm not saying everyone should be all touchy-feely to their opponents... but if you looked at his face after that play he showed ZERO sign of concern. If you look at Peja and Julian Wright, they looked freaked as hell. Before they showed it in slowmo, I thought he HAD landed on his head.

I thought Wright was going to destroy Kidd, but if you look at the replay it's actually Pargo who drags his teammates away. He played the whole thing so cool.

AfuckingMEN brother!

I was obviously pissed off at what Kidd did to Janero earlier. I was screaming like hell at the TV screen when Jason did the deed to Pargo, he could've killed Jannero for Astley's sakes. That was totally called for. Suspend his ass and fine him.

Btw, I have an entry about it too..

you're right. but they won't do that because the lebron shove was way more controversial than who ever it was kidd threw down and if haywood doesn't get suspended neither does kidd.
