hurt and didn't collapse, this might not have even been called. So is the
discussion now, people should play differently when you're playing
injured? Should they play soft to be sure theythey don't hurt you? No
way. If you play injured you accept certain risks, and shouldn't expect
any special treatment. Now you may argue that setting such a pick
was in and of itself special treatment due to the fact that he has an
existing injury. That's possible and I would say probable. Did they/he
intend to test West with a hard pick? Absolutely. Did he try to cause
David West injury? I wouldn't go that far.
