Kevin Love suspended 2 games for stepping on Luis Scola

[SwayDizzle]

I'm not even sure he did it intentionally. I was picturing something completely different. I was picturing Scola on the floor and kevin going over and literally STOMPING on his face. This is an overreaction imo.

i agree, this didn't seem malicious

[Take Your Lumps]

the angle in the youtube video looked much worse.

looking at this GIF, it doesn't even look like he touches his face with his foot -- it looks like he steps on his chest and scola snaps his head back...

MAN!!! I wish someone in the league would do that to Manu Ginobli too. get these Aregentenian disgraces out of the league...They should be back at their home picking bananas for my protein smoothie.

It was no accident..Kevin love knew what he was doing..he's a dirty player scumbag SUH

Clearly Love should have seen a body directly underneath him, and done a no-hands cartwheel to avoid using his feet to propel himself down the court.

Time to unleash the beast

[RaininTwos]

If this was Iverson or JR Smith or Stephen Jackson he'll woulda got 15 games minimum and a 500k fine.

I actually believe this.

After watching that in slow motion, I'm not even sure he meant to do that. Totally blown out of proportion.

[ImmortalNemesis]

Bullshit. This isn't suspension worthy whatsoever. A minor fine at the most.

Scola flopped to the ground and blocked most of the foot with his hand. I seriously doubt that would hurt you that much unless your jaw was made of glass.

1. Scola didn't flop. Love wanted to foul hard foul him to make a point. You have to watch the plays that led to that foul. They were already going at it.

2. Whether the stomp hurt him or not is irrelevant. Point is you can't do that in the NBA. If you do it, expect a 1-3 game suspension. Wolves are glad Scola covered his face, because if not, Love would have gotten 1 or 2 more games.

I like that from Kevin Love. Next thing you should in your career is play some ****ing defense, son.

[Heavincent]

That's retarded.

Why is Stern so bad at his job?

[socomberetta]

His foot and his shin made no contact with Scola's face.

Wtf. Scola flopped the back of his head onto the ground.

[MavsPoke]

what's the big deal?
if love gets suspended it's further proof the nba is getting gayer by the minute.
and if you think this incident is even worth discussing you are a bunch of lil fakkotz.

Agreed.

I didn't watch the game. But I know Scola and he's a flopper. A big fat euro flopper. Floppers should get stepped on. He flopped TWICE in that video and he got stepped on. KLove shouldn't get a fine, he should get a trophy for that.

In all seriousness I didn't see anything derserving of a suspension. Scola fell down and KLove was trying to run back and Scola put up his hands and tripped KLove.

BTW: I'm a Mavs fan and F KLove.
