Jones' trip of Kobe earns him a reprimand

By ARNIE STAPLETON - 26 minutes ago

DENVER (AP) - A day later, the NBA blew the whistle on Dahntay Jones for tripping Kobe Bryant.

The league assessed Denver's defensive specialists a flagrant-1 foul for sending the Lakers' star sprawling through the lane with a trip late in thethird quarter that Bennett Salvatore's officiating crew missed.

Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson complained about Jones' "unacceptable defense, tripping guys and playing unsportsmanlike basketball" during arant about the officiating.

Jackson's rip on Jones came after Los Angeles fell 120-101 to Denver to tie the Western Conference finals at 2.

I thought the shove in the back in game 3 was worse than the trip, it could have caused a more serious injury.
 
So intentionally tripping someone who is RUNNING is the SAME AS SOMEONE WHO SWIPES AT THE BALL WITH TWO HANDS????




Wait...Do yall smell that?

















SMELLS LIKE %%%%@#!#
 
Uh, isn't that his 3rd flagrant point, which = suspension then? I might be wrong on that, but I thought I read it somewhere.

Either way, dude plays 15-18 minutes a game, even if he's suspended, it won't hurt Denver any, might actually help them by rallying around dude.

Non issue either way it goes.

BS, but whatever, wouldn't want the Nuggets to have any excuse when they lose tomorrow as if that bum makes any difference anyway.

Dahntay will probably get 5 fouls in the 1st qtr.

Kobe drops 50 in Game 5.
 
this guys trying to be like Raja Bell and get his name elevated by going up against Kobe like Raja Bell did in 06

True but it just shows how inconsistent the NBA is and it's just getting worse and worse.

truth...could not have said it any better
 
I dislike the Lakers and Kobe and general, but there's no place for that stuff in basketball. If I was Stern I suspend this guy ASAP, dude is trying tohurt Kobe instead of just playing defense.

Imagine if Kobe got hurt in one of those games. You gonna let this scrub take out one of your biggest and marketable stars?

I don't know about 50. The Nuggets are wearing him out by throwing all those different defenders on him.

I think if a player exceeds 3 flagrants then they get a 1 game suspension.

Ok, that makes sense then. Thanks for the clarification.

I was just arbitrarily throwing out that number, but it did happen the game after Raja clotheslined him I believe a few years ago. I don'tthink that would be the best way for the Lakers to try and win the game, but I think he'll have more energy at home and will come out mad next game.
 
So a shove in the back with two hands and you get a flagrant 1. The following game, he trips Kobe intentionally and gets another flagrant 1. Well what's tostop D Jones from sticking his foot underneath Kobe when he attempts a jump shot?

Someone on the Lakers needs to take a flagrant 1 on Carmelo.
 
SMH what are you guys smoking, he tripped him. you act like he punched him or something, good call on the flagrant 1.

that was just a dirty play, jones knows it, that's why he at a loss for words... but they shoulda called it during the game and not afterwards, causethat's just stupid. david stern really wants kobe and lebron reach the finals, so every lame call or missed call will be re-evaluated so in the end kobeand lebron will go to the finals
