I'm not saying, but I'm just saying ...
that to me it looked like Scola brought his arms up to protect his face, which caught Love’s leg causing him to have to step down at that point instead of just clearing Scola and moving on down the court.

U really believe that
coming from a pacer fan, I know all about dirty playing (I hate you artest). That appeared intentional to me, but who knows.
I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down.// I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger, Then it hit me// A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.
Thanks for making a new thread on this!
I’ve been looking all over for a place to discuss Kevin Love’s actions last night! I’m sure glad you’ve provided us this venue, Dr. Pacer’s fan! I thought for a minute that no one on this blog would acknowledge or discuss this event!
In all seriousness (because it’s been frustrating me all night):
stomp |stämp, stômp|
verb [ no obj. ]
tread heavily and noisily, typically in order to show anger: Martin stomped off to the spare room.
• (stomp on) tread heavily or stamp on: I stomped on the accelerator.
• [ with obj. ] deliberately trample or tread heavily on: Cobb proceeded to kick and stomp him viciously.
• [ with obj. ] stamp (one’s feet).
• dance with heavy stamping steps.
noun informal
(in jazz or popular music) a tune or song with a fast tempo and a heavy beat.
• a lively dance performed to such music, involving heavy stamping.
DERIVATIVES
stomper noun,
stompy adjective
ORIGIN early 19th cent. (originally US dialect): variant of the verb stamp.
That was not a stomp.

If anything, Love had most of his weight on his planted foot. I know, I know, you’re going to come back here and say something along the lines of “semantics, bro, quit being a homer!”, but semantics mean something. Murder and manslaughter are not the same thing. Stabbing and disemboweling are not the same thing. Farting and sharting are not the same thing.
I’m not saying what Love did needs to go completely unpunished, but come on… are you really going to call that a stomp? He stepped on the guy. It didn’t look like he saw Scola until mid-stride, it looked like he avoided putting weight into his step and neither he nor Scola seemed to think it was a big deal afterwards. You damn well know that if someone thought it was an issue, they’d be all over the media talking about how it was a dirty play and how Love is a dirty player.

He fouled a guy hard enough to put him on the ground and then stepped on his face and chest
Does that make you feel better?
If I'm pissing you off its probably sarcasm

Love was frustrated and made a mistake
That said, I don’t think he wanted to injure the guy.
I just watched Scola’s responses to questions about the incident and he could not have been classier about it, new found respect for him.
I can't find the link
But I remember reading an article that said he stepped on a guy in high school.
one of the strange parts in this is the ref.
If you look one is standing just outside of the end line watching the scuffle as Scola takes the ball and goes around Love just before Scola goes down. The Media will always exaggerate these things and somehow Scola comes off as the poor hurt guy here but did the Ref just think he was trying to create a foul? The fact that no foul is called at all, leads me to believe that in spite of the media, which will always choose to blow these things up this will be seen as inconclusive by the league. They presumably will have better film as well. I am a homer so what I see are two guys trying to do what ever they can to win and fortunately the way Scola got up and Ran later without grabbing his face or his chest says he was as much ticked off by the no call as anything.
I'm not going to try to justify what happened with Scola on the floor.
If Love didn’t mean to do it, it’s an accident that I wish hadn’t happened. If Love did mean to do it, then he deserves serious punishment, because that’s unacceptable. Whatever our convictions, we’ll likely never be able to say we know which it is.
Here’s my point: the reason Luis Scola was on the ground at all is because he was trying to get continuation for the obvious foul. Love definitely delivered a savage chop to Scola’s forearms, and that deserved a foul. If play had stopped then, there wouldn’t have been any foot-face contact. But after Love had stripped Scola, Scola pushed off to emphasize that it was a shooting foul, which is normal. The foul was obvious. It had to be called.
The refs were terrible last night. Dangerously terrible.

Big guys get "heavy legs" once they start playing
Your legs feel like anvils when you get fatigued. Just lifting a knee to your chest is rough.
Frankly, if a player is on the floor and his face is in your stride then what happens happens. It’s just the way things work.
I can predict the future using Norm Van Lier's crystal balls.

looks like love got payback after scola unintentionally hit him in the balls the other night.
he should get punished somehow. you don’t just stomp on guys faces like that.
Plus
You really think Scola was aiming for his balls? Really? The only thing you’re thinking about when you go out of bounds is to throw it at the player.

In the game at Houston last week
Didn’t Scola throw the ball at Love’s groin twice?
I know sbnation has the one video. But I am pretty sure there was a second save attempt that Scola threw right at Love’s groin.

Yeah
But it was a desperation throw. You aren’t aiming in a situation like that.
