What might irk you would amuse me and what might hurt me you'd shrug off. Different people react in different ways to the same situation. Going back to the elbow Artest threw, I think the main difference between this and what Artest did was that what Artest did was calculated. Z-bo reacted in the heat of the moment and you can visually see why he acted the way he did. There's next to no context (If at all) for why Artest elbowed Harden.

Does that excuse what Z-bo did? No. Did he over-react? Most likely. I never argued those two points.

I already covered that. Different people react in different ways to the SAME situation. I also agreed that Z-bo most likely lost his head.

Ginobili was just trying to make the right defensive play and not allow Allen to follow through and score.

Its not most likely, he absolutely lost it.. that was the point from the beginning...

Its not that Blake deserved a roundhouse, ZBo overreacted... I dont think we disagree here.
