....is this ridiculous or what?!
>>>In one of the most violent and stunning games of the NBA season, the lowly Chicago Bulls shocked the Lakers 106-104 in overtime Saturday night after O'Neal was ejected for throwing two punches at Bulls center Brad Miller. The Bulls, with the NBA's worst record (7-29), dealt the Lakers their most inexcusable -- and costliest -- loss of the season.
O'Neal flew into an uncontrollable rage when he was fouled hard late in the fourth quarter, throwing two roundhouse rights -- the second of which connected as Miller had his back turned.With the Lakers leading 87-84 with 2:44 left, O'Neal was clobbered by Charles Oakley and Miller as he received the ball in the low post. O'Neal immediately turned and went after Miller, throwing a roundhouse right that missed and a second that connected.
O'Neal jumped on Miller in a huge pileup along the baseline, with Oakley trying to pry O'Neal off.
"That was quite a calamity out there," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.
"Shaq has great control," Jackson said. "I'm surprised he doesn't do this more often the way he gets attacked every night."<<<
