Watch it, trust me itll make you feel better


Wicked knockout punch...



More of a forearm/elbow than a punch.


He punched him with a right hand direct to the face? Watch the end for the closeups, it's right at the end of the video.

^^^^^^ Are you talking about when the white guy gets hit in the face and drops to the floor ? Watch it again, it's a forearm/elbow.

Nope, you're right. definitely fist to the face... although he sort of had to force it through cause of the angle.

Same video, he throws it like a punch, but turns him fist away and hits the guy with a forearm. 34's fist does not hit the white guy in the face, his forearm does.

To me it is pretty clearly just a regular punch to the jaw, no forearm( 3:43). It's the punch that dropped him but I'm pretty sure it's the guy who kicked him in the face that cut his eye (#13 at the 2:35 mark on the left side of the screen.)

The whole NBA seems to be on pause waiting for this deal.
Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.

It only looks like a forearm because his wrist bends and the camera is at an awkward position.

how can any team have a decent training camp under these circumstances? the camp is more important than ever this season after the looong break to get ready, or players would drop like flies left and right.

"Aaron Gordon will cost Henny's job by Dec 2016." Predicted Dec 2014.

"O'Quinn will have a longer and more successful NBA career than Nicholson." Predicted Jun 2012. Verified on Dec 2014.

Not important right now. Go watch this video and lay down your verdict on the blow thrown at 3:43. Fist or forearm?

Deron's not a FA until next season, like Dwight. Read an article earlier that the cap space Dallas are trying to cultivate may actually be for Deron, who is a Texan, rather than D12.

Fist. easy.

it just glances off his head which is what makes it look like it bounces off like a forearm.

no forearm to the head is gonna split the dude's eyebrow.

Don't read that allowing Dwight to talk to teams means he is out of Orlando... It means he can decide now if he really wants to leave.

*shrugs* I guess...the magic are not helping their case...who the hell brings in old larry hughes and Von wafer with big baby as a way to show you are trying to go to the finals!? *shakes head* maybe we are clearing room for cp3, lol
