i like lopez, I like that he’s not soft. We needed this type of player badly. But when you see a foul like this, it’s pretty clear Lopez got caught up in the moment and did something pretty stupid, hopefully Gentry does more than talks to him, but actually practices what to do if this situation presents itself again. That’s what matters. To go for the ball.

If he continues doing things like this, I’ll have a different opinion. But the Suns needed a big tough athletic big man badly. As Barkley says, the suns have been playing soft for a few years. Shaq changed that briefly, but didn’t have the athleticism to do it on the level he used to. But Robin can move, watch him run down the court! The best 2 things to come out of this season are dragic and lopez. And a lot of that has to do with Gentry giving them the chance and being on a team that’s not super selfish (assist to nash and hill and others on this)

You know, there might be more to this than we know. Think of Kobe and Raja Bell and Raja clotheslining Kobe. On the play before, if I recall, Kobe did something really messed up to Raja, a knee to Raja’s groin or something. If something like this happened, which is possible.
