Devin Harris Tackles Blake Griffin - video

 Nets guard Devin Harris tackled Clippers forward Blake Griffin last night in Los Angeles. The refs ruled the play a flagrant 2 foul and Harris was immediately ejected with 6:42 left in the second quarter. 

 He should've just been called for interference and the Clippers should've gotten the ball at the 2, first and goal to go. I guess it's part of David Stern's collaboration with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to crack down on "unnecessary" contact. 

 This is just good, hard, physical basketball. Blake Griffin's official rookie welcome to the NBA. As for Devin Harris, no suspension is necessary. He already missed more than half the game after being ejected. The Nets won without him anyway, 110-96. The Clippers are now 1-10. 

 The whole Clippers franchise should be given a two game suspension for continuing to be horrible year after year. They make the league look worse than the Malice at the Palace and Tim Donaghy combined.

 Besides, a full-franchise suspension would be a good test for contracting them next season. The NBA would survive and the city of Los Angeles probably wouldn't even notice. Doesn't LA already have enough basketball with the Lakers? 

Fisher Head Butt Busts Nash's Nose

Derek Fisher is a physical, hard-fouling, OG, playoff vet who takes on all challengers from the small to the tall. Last night, he collided with Suns Center Robin Lopez, creating conflict. Lopez elevated it with a subtle high elbow to Fisher's head, leading to double technical fouls after Fisher chased him down. 

Fisher got the last physical laugh later in the game when he headbutted Steve Nash while committing an intentional foul late in the game. Nash already had an injured right eye/face. Now he has a broken nose thanks to Fisher. 

Nash made his broken nose free throws and the Suns won the game. Game 4 is Tuesday.

Will he go Rip Hamilton with a face mask?

Will he go Ginobili and wear a bandage across his nose? 

Or will he perpetuate the image of his Canadian hockey toughness and leave his broken nose exposed?

With Fisher waiting in game 4, Kobe, who also has a rep for whacking opposing faces, and Ron Artest, Nash might want to consider a helmet with a facemask.
