Did he already have a T? I just saw it for the first time, not bad enough for an auto-ejection. But for sure deserving of a T.

Not sure that incident was an overreaction, looked like pretty clean contact that was definitely intentional. I don't know the exact rule on Flagrant 2 but that has to be right on par with it.

Intentional elbow to the face should be an ejection.

You can't throw an intentional elbow at someones face with force, that's indefensible.

I agree. It's basketball not MMA, nothing soft about eating an elbow to the mouth.

The Malice at the Palace.

After that incident the league/Stern has taken drastic measures in trying to "clean" up the image of the league. Anything that looks like fighting is not welcome under his watch.

Agreed. There is just so many more cameras on these guys now and coverage every where. Every elbow is caught from a hundred angles now and there are a thousand reporters covering it

Really? I don't think he was being sarcastic at all. He legitimately thinks that NBA players would have little "cheap shots" (now flagrants) during the course of a game and nothing would escalate.
