The Maloofs Want an Apology From Kenyon Martin

Denver Nugget Kenyon Martin gave a hard (unnecessary?) foul to Spencer Hawes, knocking the Kings center to the ground as Hawes clutched his knee in obvious pain (in the lead video). The foul left the Joe Maloof, who owns the Sacramento Kings with his brother, awfully upset and they’ve issued a demand for Martin to apologize to Hawes.
“Completely unnecessary. The Nuggets might not want to hear this, but there was no excuse for that, and he [Martin] needs to apologize to Spencer and our organization. That just wasn’t right,” Maloof added…
Fortunately for the Kings, Hawes avoided any structural damage to the knee in question, meaning he shouldn’t miss any time when the Kings begin their playoff adventure on Saturday.
Oh, wait. About that.
Anyway, what are your thoughts? Did Martin’s foul “cross the line” or was it simply a “no layups allowed” foul that had unintended consequences?

The Maloofs need to apologize to the fans…16 wins? That can’t be right.

You can post at will now, Sean.
Seems like they were taking their poor season frustrations out on Martin.

Not trying to be a dick but I honestly didn’t even see a foul. Graphics card at work is pretty good too. I just don’t see anything. Except a really sad Sac team. MY apologies to capital city.

Oh, Kenyon pushed him, but it wasn’t the thug life foul the Maloofs are making it out to be.
