Rui Hachimura got hit with a tech after what he thought was a cheap push in the back in Game 3 vs. the Grizzlies.
With a nice crossover left it short Hashimura fouled in a
crowd and took exception to that last hit.
So I don't blame him being upset here.
There was some contact that I would object to as a basketball
player.
You're coming downhill full speed.
If somebody hits you in the back that is objectionable.
Very hard to regain your balance here.
I need to see this again.
There's a foul.
OK that was Kansar and then he took exception to Roddy.
A little bit of that left arm push in the aftermath.
I mean the first one you know you're making a play.
OK.
But it's a little bit at the end there that I think he objected to.
And Roddy is just sitting there saying that's my momentum.
Yeah and now we get this.
And think about it really is a guy whose personality is sort of
good.
Yeah.
You don't see him emote a whole bunch.
But this series is a little bit.
Laughing it up with Malik Beasley.
Darvin the former player.
He can smile about it right now when you look at the scoreboard.
I don't.
When I saw this live I was like I don't like that play.
I feel like it looked dangerous.
That's that's somebody trying to make a play.
That was just a back tap attempt that went awry.
And I'll be honest same thing I thought here like was that a little excessive.
But looking at it slowly.
Yeah.
I'm like and you know what Doris.
You actually at times have to defend after the whistle so you don't prevent a potential
three point play.
You never know what the official is going to allow in wake of a foul call.
So you know Roddy there in his defense just knocking the ball away.
Yeah and again on first look before I saw these replays I was like wow.
That's two in the back.
I'd be annoyed as well.
What do you think.
Rui was like.
Just got on my last nerve right there.
You see Roddy looks a little bit surprised like.
Hey you know.
He didn't know why Rui was coming after him.
A former viewer.
Hachimura had an unsportsmanlike reaction to the foul.
He'll be assessed a technical foul.
There it is.
A stunned Hachimura.
I tried to figure out why it went the way it did.
An unsportsmanlike reaction.
Causing a technical foul in Bane.
Makes the free throw.
The Lakers still puzzled.
Quizzical.
With one twenty three to go in the third quarter.
I got to be honest when he sees a post game as a basketball player you get you get hit
in the back as you're going downhill.
Especially near the rim.
You're thinking what the heck here.
That's dangerous.
I think if he looks at the film.
His reaction wouldn't have been the same if he saw the way it developed.
Do you know what I mean.
Right.
Hachimura knocks down the.
Free throw the lead back up to 19.
Lakers shooting 46 percent from the field in the game.
Just four of 17.
From deep and.
LeBron's minutes on the light side.
So far tonight the result of the huge margin.
