I didn't see the screen so I dont know if it was clean or not. From what Malone said, it was a HARD screen. Fisher said it was a hard screen that knocked his block off but said it wasn't cheap or anything.
And no, it wasn't a T on Garnett. It was a regular foul.
LOL it wasn't an elbow to the noggin, he fought through the screen and gave him a shoulder, it was the same thing that KG did to Peeler which insinuated Peeler's elbow. If you even try to say Malone did the same thing as Peeler you are crazy. Like I said, he did the same as Garnett.
It's also hilarious that Aldridge compares this to the Peeler altercation. I think he might have gotten confused because this play was ON THE BALL. The KG/Peeler incident was AWAY from the ball. Malone was trying to guard the ball and fought through a screen and gave the guy some contact.
"I would not feel so strongly about this if the league A) hadn't been so adamant over the years about condemning any contact above the shoulder, whether it came from a punch or an elbow. The league's various chieftans of discipline have all said the same thing: windup, contact and follow-through are a flagrant foul, subject to suspension."
If he feels so strongly about this, why didn't he make a big fuss about KG's contact above the shoulder?
