Coincidence? I think not.

Does anyone remember this summer when Araujo and Marvin Williams got in a fight at the Rocky Mountain Review and Araujo got the boot from the game? It was the day after the Llama Festival if that will help anyone's memory. Well, here is a clip from the AP game recap from tonight's Atlanta v. Utah basketball game:

Marvin Williams led Atlanta with 15 points. Williams also got a bloody nose when he took a forearm by Utah's Rafael Araujo early in the fourth quarter, which resulted in Araujo getting ejected and Atlanta's Josh Smith getting a technical as Williams remained down in the lane.

Coincidence? I think not.

P.S. Here is an early morning addendum from the Daily Dime on ESPN.com:

Quote of the Day
"In the NBA, there's always hard fouls taken, but I really think it's crossing the line when you start taking shots at somebody's head."
-- Hawks forward Marvin Williams, who endured a bloody nose after taking a forearm to the face from Jazz center Rafael Araujo in the fourth quarter. Araujo was ejected.

That is some funny stuff. I should have watched the second half. But it was a blowout.

But I do remember that play in the rocky mountain revue. Good stuff.
