This shows what I saw
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.
Chris Dudley for three!
Boo him for life
There won't be clean officiating in the NBA until David Stern is forcibly removed by the US Congress in 2013 for fixing games.

Ariza was going for the hard foul
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.
The cake is a lie. Do not bake it.
not to mention being down 28 and in the final seconds of the third quarter

"Yeah, but Portland definitely is not one of them."
-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters at the end of the third quarter with the Hornets leading 74-59. Portland later ends up winning 97-89.
"They don't mind him shooting that shot at all. Rudy Fernandez is not that great of a 3pt shooter."
-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters right after a Rudy Fernandez missed 3pter. Rudy Fernandez finished the game with three 3pters on six attempts.

Ariza knew Rudy was going to throw down on his trashy ass
Hence, the hard foul. He is a filthy scumbag.

Anyone that claims Ariza was just giving a hard foul
is on crack.
Ariza is dirty.
