We've had soft players and soft bigs for so long that now people complain when one of our bigs shows some fire.
Was it too much? Sure. But he's frustrated because he's getting an even shittier whistle this year than as a rookie last year. He's not even close to a headcase. Not to mention the frustration with his team/coach.
It's a good thing to see from a young player, and frankly the kind of attitude a lot of good bigs have had. Don't anybody sit there and tell me that guys like Karl Malone and Alonzo Mourning never threw an elbow out of frustration.
