On Saturday night, while you were probably at a holiday party or watching Ricky Rubio throw passesthrough dudes' legs or watching Kyrie Irving go all Black Mamba Green Hornet on the Knicks, the Milwaukee Bucks got smoked by the Los Angeles Clippers. Late in the fourth quarter, with L.A. well on its way to a ninth straight win, a Ryan Hollins layup put the Clips up by 26 points, and a Drew Gooden foul sent him to the line with the chance to make this a nine-possession game.
Following the foul, reserve Bucks big man Joel Przybilla tossed the ball to an unsuspecting referee. For the offense of tossing the ball to a ref who wasn't looking and having it hit said ref in the right leg, he received a technical foul on the spot, and a one-game suspension without pay from NBA discipline czar Stu Jackson on Sunday.
On one hand, Przybilla's lob did hit the ref; if you're of a mind to do so, you could ascribe intent to that (frustration at the Bucks' down-26 predicament, frustration with the foul call on Gooden, etc.) and submit that the 7-foot-1 backup was making something of an immature act-out protest. On the other, one could also argue that it was less intentional than unmindful, and not worthy of the equivalent of a $16,490 fine (the equivalent of 1/82nd of Przybilla's $1,352,181 contract to play with the Bucks this year).
Poor guy, he really is a poor guy in NBA ONLY making 1.35 million a year. But I m not sure he did it intentionally |
