Foster’s fouls: Under review by the league

Category: NBA Playoffs — Tags: – Matt McHale @ 5:28 pm

From ESPNChicago.com: “The NBA is reviewing two hits Indiana Pacers center Jeff Foster leveled against the Chicago Bulls during Game 3 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series on Thursday, according to a league spokesman.”

Regardless of whether the league actually does anything — such as suspending Foster for Game 4 — hopefully this will dissuade Foster and the rest of the Pacers from getting so free with their arms and elbows. Hard playoff fouls are one thing. But, clearly, Indy is pushing things a bit too far. And the league has noticed.

Play hard. Keep it clean.
