"He hopped up and got in my face and almost kissed me in my mouth," Randolph said. "I just pushed him out of my face.Zach has a point. It was definitely a push. With a closed fist. To Amundson’s face. Who wanted to make out with him in the middle of a basketball court. Look at those chubby cheeks! He’s simply irresistible."If I would have hit him, he wouldn't have got up off the ground," said Randolph, who is almost certain to be suspended.

Zach Should Go to a Anger Mgt. Program. You can’t be MAD at my boy
Louis for standing up for himself.

I don’t think Randolph is telling the whole truth here. I mean, that sounds like just making up an excuse to try not to get suspended for self defense. I am probably wrong, but I don’t see a kiss going down in the court.

He’s an idiot. He should be suspended longer for something like that. Carmelo got like 15 games for a punch that looked like a 5 year old girl who just lost her tricycle.

Jackson of the NBA did it again. You never know how he see’s things and now he give him a 2 game while others have gotten 5 days and longer.

David Stern should be supended for a year for giving a punk like that a 2 games supension.

No excuses here. Zach is a decent player but not untouchable. He should be suspended for more than two games.How did Amundson get on the floor in the first place, Zach? You’ll pay for that and you’ll know it when it happens. That was the worst PUSH I’ve ever seen.
