Jason Richardson in Scuffle with a Fan?

Flop. Who called the T, was that one of those refs that are in the NBA because of Daddy?

Jimmy, he grabbed him by the shoulders and took him down. Davis head hit the court. That's not a flop. Terry overreacted. Pure and simple.


Of course, you can continue to think he flopped. He may very well have flopped on OTHER occasions, but that wasn't one of them. I've seen enough flops to know the difference and that wasn't one. Terry was lucky he wasn't ejected.

It was at the very least exaggerated WG... Terry had his arms behind the head of Davis, and Davis fell towards his arm, backwards. If you throw someone down with your arms behind their head, they usually fall forward. I'll have to see another replay to be sure, but from every one I've seen so far, that's the case. Terry also didn't make any finishing motion, or follow through, for lack of a better term. If you're going to "throw someone down," it's going to take more effort than that.

I've already looked on YouTube for a clip, but nothing yet. Like I've said, we'll see what the NBA has to say about it. I do know it's barely a topic of conversation on ESPN or the TNT post-game show.

I may not be a ref but I have watched the NBA since they used to show the finals on tape delay so I feel pretty confident that I can judge a flop when I see one. It was a flop right in front of his own bench, automatic T.

Hey, I can do that too.

Normally, I agree with alot you say...but this is very off base. Watch it again...it was a flop all the way. Davis sure popped up quick from that hard hit with his head onto the ground.

Davis went into Terry...Terry kinda gave the Ole move (bull fighting) - and he did push him..but driving him into the ground is another thing. Davis flopped to the ground and grabbed his head.

I found an article that briefly mentions the incident. There is apparently an investigation ongoing...

Then we can just agree to disagree. He might have gotten up quickly, but that doesn't mean he didn't get his bell rung.

Shoot I've hit my head a couple times and while I can still keep doing whatever I was doing, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

You agreed that Terry pushed him. He was already off balance when he ran into Terry, so if he falls and his head hits the floor as a result, then how is it a flop? I just don't how someone can say that if someone grabs your shoulder and pushes you downward and your head hits the ground as a result that its a flop.

It was an intentional act by Terry that most definitely warranted a technical.

NBA won't punish Warriors F Jackson for 2nd ejection

May 2, 2007

DALLAS (AP) -- Stephen Jackson's reputation might have been a factor in his two ejections this postseason. It won't get him suspended from Game 6 of the Golden State Warriors' first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Wednesday that the league will take no action against Jackson for what happened in the closing moments of Game 5, when he was tossed with 8.9 seconds left in a 118-112 loss, or for his mounting ejections.

Warriors coach Don Nelson announced immediately after the game that Jackson would be fined "a substantial amount" for the incident. The league fined Jackson $50,000 for the series of outbursts that led to his Game 2 ejection and continued as he left the court.

The circumstances around the first ejection may have been a factor in the league's decision: All Jackson did was clap after a teammate was called for an obvious foul.

"I wasn't trying to show nobody up," he said Wednesday, adding that he was already consoling teammates and telling them to look ahead to the next game. "It didn't make no sense to me."

Another oddity is that this ejection came after only one technical foul. A second technical is an automatic ejection; one-tech ejections usually come for egregious acts.

"First time for everything," Jackson said.

Jackson said he didn't bother asking for an explanation.

"Everybody can look at what happened and you can come up with your own," he said.

The most likely answer is that officials are giving Jackson little margin of error because of past problems, most notably his role in the Pacers-Pistons brawl several years ago.

However, it's worth noting that Jackson got two personal fouls in the first 71 seconds of the game Tuesday, but played another 40:01 without getting another.

"If I wanted to blow up, I could've blew up then. Why blow up when there's 8 seconds left when the game is over? It doesn't make no sense," he said. "Do I have 'moron' written on my forehead when I walk out on the court or something? I don't. ... I'm smarter than a lot of people think. I'm going to continue to play basketball and do what I do."

The series continues Thursday night in Oakland. Eighth-seeded Golden State leads top-seeded Dallas 3-2, largely because of how well Jackson has contained Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki.

Nowitzki broke out for the first time all series at the end of Game 5, scoring 12 points in a 15-0 rally over the final few minutes.

Frank said the league is continuing to look into a possible punishment against Golden State's Jason Richardson for an incident he had with a fan during the last minute of Game 5.

"I didn't say nothing to nobody," Richardson said.
