Ryan Hollins choking Goran Dragic

I think that it sucks that Beasley got a tech for the push. If I led officiating crews, I'd say leave Beasley alone. Now, he has to pay thousands of dollars for doing the right thing: giving Hollins a well-deserved push.

Pushing after the fact is weak sauce.  I'd respect Beasley more if he Kermit Washingtoned Hollins in the back of the head while he still had Dragic in the headlock.

Kinda wish Hollins had given Dragic a noogie while talking to the ref, though.

Why do fans always want this? A push was all that was necessary and the tech was unwarranted (from my perspective). A push and a few words, problem solved.

*sigh*

That should be a hefty fine and a couple of games or more of suspension. Completely unnecessary.

And man, props for B-Easy for standing tall for a teammate. He may never be the player we thought he could be but that was worthy of respect.

Let's not give Dragic a free pass. Hollins egregiously fouled/choked/hacked/held Dragic while the ball was in play, but Dragic's act holding Hollins' arm there and self-choking after the play was pretty effing stupid

I think his arm was trying to drag Hollins' arm down so he can get away from the choke. Then again, that's how I saw it.

Well, O'Neal's got his butt in there at the opportune moment, so it's not conclusive I guess. I would just say that we've watched a lot of Ryan Hollins. Is he devious enough to feign that level of incredulity?  Dragic has certainly flopped his share
