he had no angle on the ball and swung his arm as hard as he could hitting whatever else he could reach. Rudy is laying it up with his left hand, and Ariza comes across with his right arm well below the pinnacle of the shot. The replays showed that the force of the blow completely spun Rudy around in the air, and the contact was only against Rudy’s head. Very over-aggressive. If it wasn’t intentional, is was unduly dangerous. Recklessness isn’t a good excuse in a play like this – he should be suspended several games.

Recklessly swinging his arms out of frustration at his own inept play. I wouldn’t be surprised if the NBA suspended him. Its a very dangerous play to swipe near the head like that when you have no chance to make a play on the ball. Add to the fact that Rudy was vulnerable in the air.

When you play basketball, you know when you have a chance make a play on the ball and when you are just fouling. Ariza was fouling hard all the way. Intent to hurt or not. It was a flagrant 2 and possible suspension.

Hence, the hard foul. He is a filthy scumbag.

is on crack.

Ariza is dirty.
