Near the end of the third quarter of Wednesday night’s contest between the Blazers and the Clippers, Chris Kaman received a flagrant foul for shoving Chris Paul to the floor, after which a brief altercation ensued.

As the league weighs its options in terms of additional punishment for Kaman in the form of a fine or possible suspension, Kaman took to Twitter to post a picture of exactly what prompted him to take matters into his own hands.

This obviously doesn’t make Kaman’s reaction acceptable, but the fact that he caught a (possibly inadvertent) punch below the belt that the referees didn’t notice does make it more understandable.
