That is what a player should expect when they are guarding one very tightly. Without a doubt it is very good defense, but the other player is going to be shoving and elbowing you back when that's how they are going to have to get open night in and night out. Basketball is a physical sport and most the time the players have respect for each other and know it's just part of the game. That's why there are no retalliations usually. Now, I wasn't at the game, but from what I have read on this thread it doesn't sound like Bryan was cheapshotting at all, but instead just being physical.:thumb:
