Amare blasted Lee - He was frustrated that Lee was outplaying him.
Eny - great title for the thread!

If by blasted you mean flagrant fouled him, I totally agree. I would be surprised if that play wasn't reviewed by the league. A suspension or fine would not be shocking. Consider that players have been fined for much less, and review the play again. I love Amare, and I don't blame him for getting frustrated as every other player has at some point, but to me it's obvious that he threw his whole body into Lee while David was in mid-air. Sure, he put his hand up to at least aesthetically resemble a block-attempt, but the physics of his full-body motion betray this image. That's how players get hurt.
