[Salty]

well there goes any suspense.

[Trainwreck2100]

Zbo suspended for playing the thunder

[TD21-FTW]

That's the series tbh

[Budkin]

OKC by 35 tbh

[timtonymanu]

Ehh. The Thunder were going to win Game 7 anyway.

[daslicer]

Wow what a bunch of bs. Looks like the league wants them to advance in the worst way. No suspensions for Paul George for coming off the bench but Zbo gets suspended.

[tlongII]

That's bullshit.

[Brazil]

Lol

[Mugen]

They were done regardless.

[Technique]

It was a fist push. NBA couldn't be more obvious

[Clipper Nation]

Reminds me of this classic ZBo moment:

[hater]

Lol adam silver

fascist nazi

[lmbebo]

nail inserted into coffin

[InRareForm]

grizz should boycott tbh..

[024]

http://www.nba.com/video/channels/originals/2014/05/02/randolph-video.nba/index.html

Video in question. Looked like a pretty obvious punch. Zbo just getting what he deserves. Too bad though, wanted to see OKC eliminated too.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

:lol if OKC loses the NBA will collapse

[hater]

Means Michael Jordan Scott of the Hawks is suspended too. Pacers win easily then.

Silver helping his rating like no other commish before

[rogues]

:lol It was an obvious decision to make. That thug wasn't going to get away with anything.

:lol All these pussies crying foul in this thread

[Reck]

Why are they suspending players for the playoffs now? Whatever happened to suspended suspensions like before?

Playoffs are too important to be missing one of your key guys for something he may have done in the heat of the moment. Leave the suspension for next year in the regular season.

[crc21209]

:lol Wow NBA.

[Dex]

Lucky break for the fucking Thunder, but that's all on shit-for-brains Z-Bo. That's a suspension any day of the week.

[Bynumite]

Spurfans getting their chickenshit on per par.

[apalisoc_9]

obvious suspension tbh..

With that said, Paul George should also be suspended...Gotta have consistency to avoid consipracies.

[timtonymanu]

Blair got suspended for his little altercation with Splitter and ZBo's punch was far worse.

It's easy to blame this on :cry Thunderref but it was an obvious call.

[ElNono]

ZBo doing ZBo things...

[Budkin]

:lol It was an obvious decision to make. That thug wasn't going to get away with anything.

:lol All these pussies crying foul in this thread

Gotta agree with thunderup here. Obvious punch to the face even if it wasn't that hard. :lol letting Steven Adams get in his head.

[crc21209]

Tbh Adams escalated it, suspend his ass too...:lol

[MeloHype]

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/851088641.gif

[Spur-Addict]

Broken down Conley, plus no Z-Bo, equals a complete waste of time.

[Reck]

Who said punch? He has his fist open when he hit him. More like a push-slap to the face all in one motion. An ejection would have done it.

[oh crap]

:lmao @ all the scared spur fans in this thread crying conspiracy. give me a fucking break, it was a dirty play and the suspension is warranted. save all those tears for if you make it past the mavs and end up facing the thunder to get out of the west :lol

[Malik Hairston]

:lol Z-Bo was on the Lebatard podcast the day prior to the game, talking about how much he's matured as a player...they asked him which players in the league he would want to fight, and he said he wouldn't fight anybody because he wouldn't want to hurt his team:lmao..

Killing any chance in the series because you let some scrub rookie get in your head:lol..

[sexinthatsx]

You know what's weak? The fact that the NBA suspended Z-Bo for a weak push but didn't eject him from the game for a flagrant 2 foul. Now that is blasphemy. At least Dejuan Blair got ejected

[Mnky]

obvious suspension tbh..

With that said, Paul George should also be suspended...Gotta have consistency to avoid consipracies.

Not that bad. Looks to me like a push that just slipped a little high.

[therealtruth]

:lmao @ all the scared spur fans in this thread crying conspiracy. give me a fucking break, it was a dirty play and the suspension is warranted. save all those tears for if you make it past the mavs and end up facing the thunder to get out of the west :lol

[Reck]

old shit worrying about anyone else but his shitty Hawks, per par. :lmao

[ElNono]

:lol Z-Bo was on the Lebatard podcast the day prior to the game, talking about how much he's matured as a player...

:lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Numbskull move - that's why the dude is and always will be a loser.

Yeah, you can't pin this on anyone but ZBo. What a moron

[ElNono]

Spursfan should be thankful the series went 7 games, and that MEM gave OKC a bit of that grit n' grind.

[Mugen]

Should have at least got his money's worth and laid out Russ tbh.

[Reck]

Should have at least got his money's worth and laid out Russ tbh.

:tu

[Kidd K]

I don't blame the NBA for the suspension. ZBo needed to understand that the Thunder use useless bench players to trash talk, push, and commit hard fouls on opposing team key players very frequently to keep their real players in the game while hoping to draw cheap frustration fouls or ejections on said players.

OKC has been utilizing this tactic for at least 3 years now. ZBo should have known better. Sad to see Memphis go out this way.

[Proxy]

If he didn't get ejected during the game, then the suspension is bullshit

OKC was going to win G7 anyways, tbh

[Malice]

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/851088641.gif


That was a punch?! What the fuck!

[Katherine Robinson]

People think Silver is a saint for banning Sterling, but as we see - more of the same.

[Cry Havoc]

What the fuck. ZBo hit someone. He's the idiot here. The NBA had to suspend him, that's a fucking punch.

[lil'mo]

Adams initiated the contact tbh. Can't wait for the spurs to slaughter tha thunder in wcf

[Koolaid_Man]

Wow what a bunch of bs. Looks like the league wants them to advance in the worst way. No suspensions for Paul George for coming off the bench but Zbo gets suspended.

^ I just fucking know Spur fan ain't talking....:lol you Ho's forget about 2007 vs Suns :lmao

[sammy]

Should have at least got his money's worth and laid out Russ tbh.

Agree!

[sammy]

NBA just guaranteed a win for the Thunderefs! Total BS!

[RD2191]

IDGAF who beats them but OKC has got to go. They are by far the most bitch made team in NBA history. Every single player is an annoying piece of shit.

Even that roach Fisher comes in and does that shit. Dudes grabs holds pushes players, especially bigs since he's half their size and retaliation will look a lot worse, just trying to bait them into doing something flagrant.

[RD2191]

What if KD or LBJ hit someone? Do you think they would get suspended?

[Mugen]

:lol I don't care how questionable the hit was. If you're stupid enough to do something like that when there's like 1,000 HD cameras around in the age of instant replay, you should be suspended. Props to the scrub rookie for sealing the deal for his squad tbh.

[Clipper Nation]

What if KD or LBJ hit someone? Do you think they would get suspended?
Durbeta: no punishment, would go completely ignored

LeBron: banned for life, Media would spend the next week ranting about how "Jordan would have hit him harder" :cry

[Killakobe81]

Wow what a bunch of bs. Looks like the league wants them to advance in the worst way. No suspensions for Paul George for coming off the bench but Zbo gets suspended.

It is bullshit based on stern's ruling in the phx/sas series ...but it's a dumbass rule in the first place.
Glad silver using more common sense.

And not even the NBA is gonna allow a migraine to slap a whiteboy sans repercussion.

[RD2191]

Durbeta: no punishment, would go completely ignored

LeBron: banned for life, Media would spend the next week ranting about how "Jordan would have hit him harder" :cry
:lolI doubt either would get suspended. Especially for a game 7. The NBA is full of shit.

[horsielove]

Oh come on spursfans, it was an obvious call to make. Stop fooling yourself :lol

[Clipper Nation]

To be fair, the thought of that stick-figure-looking faggot FT35 actually trying to hit anyone is laughable :lol

He would probably be awarded free throws for hitting someone :lol

[MeloHype]

What if KD or LBJ hit someone? Do you think they would get suspended?
Wade has done worse stuff than this and he hasn't been suspended, so I doubt Durant or LeBron would be suspended

[Expert]

Could be a dangerous thing for the Thunder. Some bench faggot could play till death for a contract... Gary Neal or Sundiata Gaines 2.0

[RD2191]

Wade has done worse stuff than this and he hasn't been suspended, so I doubt Durant or LeBron would be suspended
Exactly.

[Mugen]

To be fair, the thought of that stick-figure-looking faggot FT35 actually trying to hit anyone is laughable :lol

:lol Might be the only guy Kirby could take tbh

[hater]

New regime fellas. This nigga silver is a nazi obviously.

Ehh. The Thunder were going to win Game 7 anyway.

^^^^ This, Memphis blowing game 4 at home with the lead and then last night not showing up was the end of this series.

[baseline bum]

LOL, those shitheads get Conley injured and Z-Bo suspended playing in a blowout that was over at halftime. :lol

[Clipper Nation]

:lol
:lol Damn, Esteban with no response to det one...

Kirby also got the shit beaten out of him by Cheryl Miller's sister :lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

[PingPong]

Punching an effin scrub, third or fourth big man....

:D

[~O~]

Thread:

I agree with the fact that it is a punch....still a push that slipped into a punch but a punch.
I also agree with the notion that the Thunder are a fluke team.
I agree that this warranted a suspension.
I agree with consistency and that the NBA shouldn't put players above other players. Paul George should be suspended as well.
I also believe in teams throwing in players to take shots at other players. Sort of like Dexter Pittman on Lance Stephenson.

I believe in moral victories and moral consequences. I don't believe in controlled destinies.

[Kiwi]

Lol clearly a closed fist punch. This isn't even questionable commpared to dejuans suspension.

And to those saying PG should be suspended he took like one step.. Still in the vicinity of the bench.

You guys are tools and just want to see some upsets just in case the spurs get upset as well..

And idk, this clearly is a punch, dunno how he slipped with a push? Watch in slo-mo http://watch.nba.com/nba/video/channels/originals/2014/05/02/randolph-video.nba

[~O~]

Thus far, this series has been fair to me. If the Spurs are upset, they just weren't good enough after all.

[Venti Quattro]

Dumbass from Z-Bo really.

[Cry Havoc]

What if KD or LBJ hit someone? Do you think they would get suspended?

Probable. Neither of them have though, so the hypothetical is unnecessary.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

ZBo is so dumb

[dg7md]

The dude fucking punched him straight up without any real reason. I was pulling for the Grizz in the series (obviously), but he definitely deserves that suspension.

[daslicer]

^ I just fucking know Spur fan ain't talking....:lol you Ho's forget about 2007 vs Suns :lmao

Honestly the spurs have suffered serious karma since that '07 incident. Spurs have been cursed since then so I would say they have already paid the price for that.

[daslicer]

Glad silver using more common sense.

And not even the NBA is gonna allow a migraine to slap a whiteboy sans repercussion.

Yeah I see what you are saying my problem is lack of consistency with these rules. Last year Wade took a cheapshot elbow to Stephenson's face that was worse than what Zbo did but there was no suspension for that.

[spurraider21]

selfish move by zbo, costing his team any slim chance at the series so he can touch steven adams' face :lol

[Kidd K]

Even that roach Fisher comes in and does that shit. Dudes grabs holds pushes players, especially bigs since he's half their size and retaliation will look a lot worse, just trying to bait them into doing something flagrant.

Yep. OKC uses cheap tactics all the time. They're just having their role players do all the dirty work to keep Durant and Westbook's images clean. Of course Westbrook does a good job of fucking that up by hollering and celebrating after every field goal and whistle he gets.

memphis is 2-1 in okc in this series. its ridiculous to day they were going to lose anyway

[BatManu20]

OKC were winning game 7 regardless tbh. This just ensures that it won't even be close.

[mavsfan1000]

Terrible decision. But making Ibaka guard a 3 point shooter might actually work for Memphis. And it basically makes Perkins useless. We'll see what happens.

[spursnatic]

Still a stupid move by the League..Especially in a critical situation..To me was more of a push than anything else?..

[TDMVPDPOY]

theres a reason why okc and its players never get any respect due to relyin on refs for wins...

[Sportstudi]

That's just ridiculous. Seems Silver wants OKC in the WCSF. That play by Zach was never worth a suspension.

The one thing that pisses me off about this is that ZBo gets away with worse against us with no punishment whereas that soft-ass tap on pussyboy Steven Adams is apparently worthy of a suspension :lol

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Zach Randolph is an idiot. No need for that.

Play of the series. Better luck next year. < Changing channel >
