Again...
Fox hit him FIRST, then threw his hands up to play it off to the refs, NOT because he didn't want to fight. If you've watched basketball (or most any sport for that matter) for a long time you know that the person retaliating for a cheap shot is the person who get's called for the foul ("unsportsmanlike conduct" in football) most of the time. It's called "drawing the contact" or "baiting". That's what Fox did. He gave Doug an open-handed shot to the face and then quickly threw up his dick-skinners cuz he new Doug would do "something", but he didn't expect to get punched OR that hard. THAT'S what happened. As far as Fox not punching back, it wasn't cuz he didn't want to get fined, people were already holding them both back by then.
Don't forget Laker fan, it was RICK FOX who ran to the other tunnel to jump on Doug's back (just to get his ass beat, YES, BEAT Nitro, BEAT) NOT the other way around. Now again, does this seem like the behavior or a player who doesn't want to fight or get fined?
Thank you, drive thru.
