Get Ready for Rollerball

There's nothing wrong with a good hard foul every once in a while if it's not meant to take someone out like that NCAA game when the Duke player got hit or that Temple coach was going to send his thugs in or w/e he said. If it's not like that then there's nothing wrong with some physical basketball, just like it used to be decades ago.

Depends. There are hard fouls (grabbing the guy when he's on his way up for a layup on a fast break) to prevent a layup, and there are hard fouls out of frustration. It is the latter that worries me because that's the one that seems cheap and could cause injury.

It was Barkley that made the suggestion to "knock Barbosa out," of course.

Why does he hate Phoenix so? The city throws a giant parade for coming in second and it's like he nevers misses an opportunity to bash The Suns/Phoenix. Round mound of put down indeed.

I don't see what the big deal is. Barkley was right on this issue. They were able to control Barbosa, because they were overly physical with him. No one really knocked him on his you know what, but they didn't need to either. His 3 point shooting was the only thing that kept the Suns from being blown out after having a 17 point lead.
