A Life Sentence Would be Too Kind for Rafael Araujo

At least, that's the gist you get from the commentator there. The audio and the video don't quite sync up (you hear Holman reacting to Araujo getting tossed long before you see it), but you get the gist of what's going on.

That's Rafael Araujo fouling Marvin Williams, and Hawks radio play-by-play guy Steve Holman reacting like he just witnessed the particularly bad scene in A Clockwork Orange.

At first glance, it doesn't look like much more than a hard, but perfectly reasonable foul ... but you don't get the perfect angle of it until about the :40 mark. There you see Araujo come across the lane, make body contact like a frieght train, and also put his elbow up into Williams' face. That's illegal.

At that point, the rage of Holman becomes a little more understandable. Still slightly insane, but understandable, nonetheless.

And pay special attention at the 1:30 mark, where Hawks coach Mike Woodson has a special Valentine's Day message for you.
