2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

Yes the flagrant is why he was suspended but it was the swipe at the junk that got him the flagrant. My thing was I don't think they should have called it a flagrant. Double tech maybe.

I fully agree it was his own damn fault and we aren't here if he wasn't a dipshit, but the NBA should have let it go for this game given all that is riding on it.

 

That's crap. It was a flagrant -- and partially because prior acts are considered.

You're saying the equivalent of "never call a foul on the last possession."

 

LTL, it was Game 4 of the OKC series that Green should've been suspended for; Warriors got their asses kicked anyway.

 

Ah you're right. My bad. So scratch the trade value of the games.

Still, Green earned this.

 

Refs can review flagrants. This retroactive bullshit is one step away from changing the outcome of a completed game by awarding free throws for missed foul calls.

 

That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is they assessed a flagrant and by extension a suspension on a guy who made a passing glance. LeBron was the instigator and got a tech. At the very least, the two punishments should have been equal. They both should have received techs and that be that.

 

It's the third time in the playoffs that he found a way to apply force to another player's crotch. It's a pattern.

 

In fairness, the league should have the right to review specific plays to assess harsher punishments than what was given on the floor even if no foul was called. It makes sure people get punished for cheep shit that the refs might miss. The official probably didn't see the swipe at the nuts, I know I did until I finally saw slow replays.

 

I get that. But only the biggest LBJ fanboi thinks a retroactive T is a real punishment for teabagging. That and the minds of the NBA.

 

LeBron knocks him down, then tea bags him by stepping over him. The suspension is bullshit.

 

I've watched this sequence a dozen times and I still don't see it. The only place I could see where junk contact occurred was when James was straddling him and Green was trying to get up. This incident is totally on LeBron. Green gets a flagrant foul for getting up off the floor after James threw him down.
