Regular season games vs playoffs 2nd round games while both did this in playoffs ?

I think out of all the Cavaliers fans on this board, at least the true ones, I stand at the opposite end of things away from RBA the most. We butt heads and debate a ton. Defending him isn't my goal in that post, it's calling you out as a sheep. Which you are being.

fair enough.

but if you have nothing else to contribute with than pointing out the obvious order of posts calling out RBA's double-standards and calling people sheep on the basis of that order, then you are being the silly sheep

i have no problem with either of the suspensions handed out.


JR got off lucky.

KO's suspension was fair. NBA pretty much acknowledged what KO did was a dirty non-basketball play, yet not necessarily malicious.

JR's was straight up malicious. He could have justifiably gotten a lot more IMO.

to me there's a difference between punching somebody straight into the face and swinging your arm and hitting a guy behind you. Honestly chances weren't that big that he would hit him exactly in his face and knock him out like it happened. Of course it was a bitch move but to me a 2 games suspension is about ok because it seemed to me that he simply wanted to get rid of Crowder who pushed him twice or three times before J.R swung his arm.

That was an ugly incident and one that could of led to another all out brawl like the Malace in the Palace. You sucker punch someone like that and it can get pretty messy quickly. Only that this is Mr "suck up the NBA's ass by being an ambassador of the NBA for future favours like this one" James. He didn't befriend Adam Silver because he genuinely likes the guy, Lebron is always calculated and looking to create an advantage in all situations so he doesn't have to face adversity.


That punch to the face is a minimum 5 game suspension.


NBA concerned that their biggest money spinning series won't go the 7 if they suspend Smith for 5 games or even the whole series.

How fu**ing funny it is to see an MJ fan and severely pissed off cause he thinks an NBA player is getting special treatment.

That wasn't a sucker punch. It was a blind swing. A sucker punch would be if JR were looking (as in with his eyes) to plant his fist in Crowder's face when Crowder wasn't expecting it.

Some retards will never understand that there's a big difference between outcome vs intent. Looks like the league weighs both when considering suspensions. If Love's shoulder weren't dislocated, retarded looking Hippie Boy doesn't get suspended. If JR's backswing catches Crowder across his chest, it's just a tech or ejection, no suspension. If JR threw a punch while actually facing someone and looking to connect --regardless of hitting or missing-- he's guaranteed a suspension.

He knows he's there clearly he's on his back..

LOL

That ****ing play happens every damn game. Dudes wrapping their arms around other dude's arms in order to keep them grounded so they don't get a board. Every. Damn. Game.

This time, it caused an injury. Fluke shit happens, but don't act like this is some kind of malicious attack.

He 100% knew he was up against someone behind him waiting for a rebound. He swung knowing full well that he wasn't boxing out his own teammate. He knew full well it was a Celtic player on his back before he took a swing.

Why did he throw a "blind swing"?

what exactly is the point of a blind swing in a basketball game?

also, if he was looking to hit someone with his blind swing then that makes it a sucker punch.

last thing, dont use the word retarded so loosely if you yourself fail at interpreting a situation that isn't difficult to make sense of.

2 games for knocking a guy out with a closed fist?



Cavs should just send Perkins out there in game 1 and have him KO Jimmy Butler to improve their chances of winning the series.

Yeah and if they do it early on in the series, I'm sure they'll have him back for the ECF so he can do the same to Millsap/Horford.

Kelly is the biggest thug known to man. He only plays professional basketball because the MMA organizations banned him from competition due to incredible danger to fellow athletes.

[ProfessorMurder]

do people not see their heads hitting?

Do you not see him continue to drive, then realize he lost the ball, and then fall back in 'pain'?

Dude must have some nervous system issues if he can take a blow like that and not react immediately.
