That's bullshit. I hate the NBA's stupid no-tolerance rules on fighting. I can't think of a single playoff suspension I have agreed with since I started watching NBA basketball.

[rasho8]

Good. KG is annoying anyway.

[PBEEZY]

Link???

They just mentioned it during the Magic game, decision was only made so don't think there is any articles yet

and all because that one fan had to throw a drink on Ron Artest.

They've had these no-tolerance type rules since the Knicks/Heat made brawls a yearly tradition in the late 90s.

Nah, this all started around 98 or so when the league wanted to crack down on Miami and New York. Well, the automatic suspension rules did... I guess the softening of the league really started with Stern protecting Jordan from the Pistons in the late 80s - early 90s.

well nevermind then! :lol

in the 90's I was a kid who only interested in watching Jordan :downspin:

so you guys think the Artest incident didn't take suspensions for seemingly small infractions to another level?

Yep.... ever since Alonzo used Van Gundy as a mop.

[DPG21920]

:rollin That was hilarious. I love JVG.

[baseline bum]

Could anyone imagine the 84, 86, or 87 Finals under today's rules? :lol

[gm5k]

the only reason this suspension actually makes me happy is it makes it more likely that the series will be competitive, and we get to watch Wade more.

[DJ Mbenga]

fuck! yahoo says this story was posted 4 min ago. you guys are fucking fast

[benefactor]

It's not the NBA's fault that KG is in his thirties and still can't control his emotions...especially in a playoff game.

He threw an elbow to the head during a dead ball in a crowd. He deserves the suspension.

[scampers]

Stern prefers the NBA to run like watching the AI play against each other in a video game. Boring, predictable, and clean.

I'm surprised he doesn't fine players every time a cuss word slips through a TV broadcast.

[PGDynasty24]

They almost had 2. Dwight got suspended for a similar elbow last year

The players would adapt.

It's the same across the board in all sports. You can't throw knockdown pitches without warnings and ejections. You can't level a quarterback unless you tip toe in and announce your arrival. The bench clearing brawl in hockey is a relic of the past.

The $$$ being paid these players now compared to then is absurd and it's the owners and the leagues protecting their players and images.

And in a PC world where nobody can tell an off color joke without being labled a racist and nobody can laugh at themselves.... image is everything.

[DPG21920]

There is a difference in physical play and fighting. I don't want to watch a boxing match.

[TIMMYD!]

He deserves it for his pussy antics.

[benefactor]

Exactly. I am all for them letting more contact go on the court. Elbows to the head on the sideline during a dead ball? Not so much.

[gm5k]

http://i40.tinypic.com/2hz32g6.jpg

LOL wow the more I think about it I'm gonna miss this guy when he's gone. he's so ridiculous. truly a caricature of himself.

[baseline bum]

I liked seeing Greg Kite get his ass kicked after clotheslining James Worthy and Bill Walton coming to bodyslam Ralph Sampson after Sampson started throwing punches at Jerry Sichting for having the nerve to try to deny him position on a break.

[Amarelooms]

KG is truly a POS cocksucker....too bad he actually won a ring. Idiot :elephant

[JamStone]

The league is stupid most of the time but this suspension was completely justified. Elbow to the face. If everything happened exactly the same except KG doesn't throw that second elbow, I don't think he gets suspended. Anyway. KG is such a fucking punk bitch.

[hitmanyr2k]

It's deserved. Dude was in the middle of a heated crowd throwing elbows. If he hits the wrong person it's the Pistons/Pacers brawl all over again :lol If KG isn't suspended you probably have players looking for retaliation in Game 2 and things could get uglier.

[DazedAndConfused]

HarlemHeat is a RAPIST

[cobbler]

weak..

I find it quite hypocritical for someone who sits on his moral high horse and spews the racist and rapist comments on a daily basis to condone violence. :nope

Ohhhh wait... I get it... A Laker wasn't involved! :toast

[Ashy Larry]

Could anyone imagine the 84, 86, or 87 Finals under today's rules? :lol With Kareem, A.C. Green, Bob McAdoo and Mychal Thompson suspended, we'd have to turn to mighty Chuck Nevitt and Mike Smrek

[cobbler]

Can you imagine if that elbow hit an assistant coach clean? Would have caused serious damage.

[HarlemHeat37]

That fact that Gobbler is comparing a minor elbow to rape and racism speaks volumes on his beliefs..not that we needed this thread to prove it, since he's made light of those subjects in every thread in which they've ever been brought up..

[LnGrrrR]

I expected a suspension due to the wild elbow. Can't say I'm against it really. Just have to hope the Celts can grab the W without him... I think they can.

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao

I disapprove of suspensions as a general rule, but I can't really bring myself to care about this one. Fuck Boston.

So let me get this straight. You are saying it's ok to throw an elbow with INTENT to injure someone and that is somehow a lesser offense that squinting your eyes with intent to make a joke? Really? WOW! And you question my beliefs? :lol


HarlemHeat is a HYPOCRITE!

The fighting and hard fouls peaked when that guy (forgetting his name) basically ruined Rudy T's career with that sucker punch.

[JMarkJohns]

Kermit Washington... almost killed Tomjanovich.
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jgqUZ1IAA_8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jgqUZ1IAA_8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

The punch, which took Tomjanovich by surprise, fractured his face away from his skull about 1/4 of an inch and left Tomjanovich unconscious in a pool of blood in the middle of the arena. Players involved often say that right after Tomjanovich collapsed, the silence at the arena, filled with shocked fans, was "the loudest silence ever heard". Upon later inspection by the doctors at the scene, it was discovered that Rudy was actually leaking spinal fluid into his mouth, and that not only his basketball career, but his life, was in danger at that point.

[galvatron3000]

deservedly so...moving on

[mavsfan1000]

Good. Teaching that bitch a lesson.

[duhoh]

sure, but KG throwin too many bows!
