Artest shoud have been given a foul and Kobe should have a flagrent.
By the rules he should have been suspended - The NBA rulebook states that a player must be ejected for "an elbow foul which makes contact above shoulder level." By the standard that's been set in these playoffs, Bryant should be suspended.
There were shitty calls all over this game, Crawford is an awfull ref.
Stu Jackson on the Dwight Howard suspension:
"This was an elbow that was thrown that made contact above the shoulders and by rule there's an automatic suspension."
David Stern on the Dwight Howard suspension:
"We're there to protect the players. If you throw a punch, you're gone. If you throw an elbow above the shoulder, you're gone."
The goalpoasts are in motion as we speak.
