Amare's Elbow numbed Batum's arm

[BGrantFan]

After watching the elbow to Batum's shoulder I don't find too much wrong with it. Sure, he knew Batum's shoulder was sore and I'm sure he was trying to make it sting a little bit, but all he did was run into it with his elbow. Its not like he swung it or anything.

Is he a dbag for doing it? I wouldn't disagree with someone who said he is, but at the same time I don't think it's that terrible.

Batum said it deadened his arm, and Batum called it a dirty play. I'll side with Nic over Amare, who tried to break LA's nose in Game 3 with an elbow.

Nate needs to send the message the next time Amare touches a player with his elbow, that player needs to pretend he's playing in La Liga, Serie A. He needs to drop like he's been shot screaming in mock pain in the affected area.

Well I'm sure Batum was pissed about it and I agree that it was a little bit of a dbag move, but it isn't that terrible imo.

If he swung the elbow sure, but he just ran into it. Still a little bit of a dbag move, but like I said, nothing too terrible.

Would you have felt differently if that little shot dislocated his shoulder?

I think it likely was intentional, but this video doesn't really show one way or the other.

Notice in the video what Rudy and Howard do during Nash's freethrow.

Word was Rudy was pouting for the rest of the game after being pulled in the first half. Doesn't look like he is pouting in the video. In fact it looks like he is still mentally in the game and trying to distract Nash.

Anyone have a link to the video of the elbow he threw at Lamarcus?
