lol was watching that… pistons aren’t to be trifled with lol

I have noticed Wemby is a flopper though too.

Owowow

That hurts to watch

Bush league.

Trash actions from a team with a trash coach and the first guy to high 5 him is a trash ho. Fitting.

That's some serious bs... hope he gets a hefty suspension. In a situation like that, maybe you should sit out the length of time that it takes for him to recover.

Idk.... y'all saying that because he freakishly got hurt. That happens 100 times per game and the two dudes keep running. Just trying to knock him off his path on a fast break to gain the advantage. He didn't do anything malicious, if Williams doesn't get hurt no one would know anything about this play.

It just looks intentional when you see him looking and lining him up to take him out. It’s the intent. If there were consequences I doubt players would do this.

I wouldn't mind a brief suspension for the shove. But asking him to sit out as long as the injury, which will likely be a long time, seems excessive. I don't think he intended to injure him, and as saucey says, players make little pushes and shoves like this all the time without incident. But it still directly led to the player getting hurt, so I would be okay with a brief suspension.

Very unfortunate…should have been an offensive foul on Eason…but I also don’t think that was that dirty. I agree that a play like that happens every game.

I'm going to do like Eddie Johnson says and come hip check all you guys who think it's not a big deal. Watch out! You'll never see it coming. Gathering intel now...

I’ve been hip checked in a basketball game before…ref didn’t even call anything and I was the one with the ball.

You should have fallen to the floor. That's your bad.

I did..I sat there staring at the ref waiting for a call…nothing…then I got up and maybe voiced some frustrations(not directly at the ref) and received the only technical foul of my basketball career haha

Got hip checked by a too-much-enthusiast friend. Went upside down and broke my hand while protecting my head.
Sure it happens every match. It shouldn't. Things can get ugly at that speed, so I have no problem with hip checkers getting suspended for a long time when injury happens. If that becomes a rule, we won't see such punk moves every night anymore.

I would highly suggest you not try to hip check anyone for your own hip's sake, boomer
