He threw his mouthpiece into the crowd and hit a fan.

The precedent has already been set, since Amir Johnson was suspended earlier for the exact same thing.

:cry "Why do you want the Cavs to have an unfair advantage?"

Horseshit. The fact that Raymond and now Wardell are chimping out, despite knowing the rules and potential ramifications of their conduct, tells me they're mental midgets. And mental midgets don't deserve special exceptions just because the fans want to see an "epic" game 7 showdown between Lebron and Curry or because Silver wants his ratings monster.

Rules are rules.

:cry "Then no one will respect the Cavs title?"

Why not? The Cavs proven they can get under the skin of "the greatest team of all time" to the point where they're hitting players in the nuts and throwing shit at fans. That tells me the Cavs are the mentally stronger and thus the "better team."

Absolutely. NBA should take immediate action to show that these kinds of outbursts will not be tolerated no matter who the player is. He's a role model for a lot of kids, and this kind of behavior is reprehensible. Plus, throwing your slimey mouthpiece at another human being is just disgusting.

Yes, but whether or not you intended to hit the person or not doesn't change the outcome of your actions. That's my point.

Curry shouldn't be granted absolution in this case because "I didn't mean to do it!" I would think the NBA would look down on players throwing tantrums to the point where they're indiscriminately hurling germ infested mouthpieces toward their paying customers.

I agree, though, that since no precedent was set (has a player ever been suspended for throwing something into the crowd?), Curry will get off scot free.

Is spitting on someone illegal?

A:
Quick Answer
In the United States, Intentionally spitting on someone is illegal. While it may not cause physical damage, it meets the requirement threshold for the definition of Battery.
https://www.reference.com/government-politics/spitting-someone-illegal-7f60134c13ccc698

Fabbs
06-17-2016, 12:52 AM
and:

As stated by FindLaw, a battery offense is defined as an offense where an assailant is intentionally touching someone, where the touching is done without consent of the victim, and where the touching is considered to be harmful and/or offensive. By intentionally spitting on someone you are touching them with your saliva, which is considered offensive, and potentially exposing them to a contagious disease, which is harmful; therefore, spitting meets the requirements for battery offense.

What is up with all these Warriors fans claiming the refs gave the game to the Cavs? Cavs were up from the start, and got close when there was a curious run after the half where there were swings of fouls being called on Cavs and getting Warriors into bonus early. Warriors meanwhile continued to get away with their moving screens to free up shooters.

(And yes, Duncan's to free up Manu in 2014 was probably a moving screen).


Can't wait to see Barnes get a max offer and spearhead a 30 win Lakers season next year.

Steal on Irving was pretty clean. There was maybe a little incidental body contact, but not the type of contact that warrants a foul. At best, it was a ticky-tack foul call.

Curry did not foul LeBron for his 6th foul. Not close. LeBron stopped, leaned, and tried to make it look like Curry made him fall. It was a terrible call.

That said, I agree that both Curry and Kerr acted like bitchass crybabies. Curry especially these Finals has lost a lot of his shine. His little 4 year old tantrum was definitely bitchmade.

Jam, Lebron does not stop. Watch his feet. As Lebron is taking his second step upcourt Curry clearly impedes Lebrons path. True, after the impede by Curry, Lebron tries to help the sell along by setting his elbow towards Currys back shoulder then stopping and semi flopping.
But again, after LeBron gathered the ball he was clearly attempting to move upcourt when Curry directly impeded his path.

Sidepoint on the steal attempt by Curry, could have been called a jump ball. Actually a nice steal attempt and also an excellent play by Lebron to not lose the ball on the steal. Not only not lose the ball but maintain possession and begin upcourt.

If you are going to suspend someone, it has to be something major. Losing your cool looks bad and throwing your mouthpiece is pouty, but it's not horrrific. Especially if you don't have a history of doing that. Good on Silver for not suspending anyone and it's not because he's "Curry"

The hand got all ball. But I did not find the prior to be incidental. Clearly impeding Irvings path to drive. Jam I suck at video editing but if you watch Currys left hand, prior to the steal he puts it directly on Irvings left shoulder. And uses force. Just like defensive holding in the NFL that impedes a receiver from making progress. Also has his chest blocking Irving which helped impede. Curry does not get that steal if he does not impede Irving. So I'm good with the holding call.

We completely agree the bitch made reactions by Curry and Kerr.
Those two have been the recipient of so many bullshit calls this season.

Impeding is not a foul. It's not hockey. I didn't see any contact.

If anything, in real time, LeBron looked like he even avoided any contact with Curry when he gathered and sort of went to the ground. No contact. No foul. Play on.

The way the Finals had been called, particularly the last couple games, that was incidental contact. They had been letting the teams play. There's literally clutching, grabbing, holding every possession by both teams. That was about as clean a steal as you will see get called for a foul considering what the referees had been allowing in terms of physical contact.

He really should be suspended. You can't just throw shit into the stands and hit a fan and get away with it. Even if it's something as harmless as a mouthpiece. If someone like Artest or even that donkey Draymond had done this they'd be suspended. You can't give Wardell preferential treatment just because he looks like a scrawny 12 year old tbh.

I mean players on the bench get suspended for crossing an imaginary line during on-court confrontations but throwing mouthpieces at fans is ok?

That bench rule was strict liability. There is no mouthpiece rule. It's discretion. You have to judge his intent. Did he intend to hurt a fan?

If you are going to suspend someone, it has to be something major. Losing your cool looks bad and throwing your mouthpiece is pouty, but it's not horrrific. Especially if you don't have a history of doing that. Good on Silver for not suspending anyone and it's not because he's "Curry"

Unless it's Bobo and Amare stepping off the bench in 2007! Should always be suspended for that...

Of all the shit talked on here, this is where youre gonna take the high ground? :lol

No it's just a moment of truth. It's not high ground. To those who talk trash on here, 99% would never be that way face to face.

I also comment on a lot of the stuff on here - there's so much I can't get to it all, but when it bothers me enough I say something.

So you only say stuff on here you would say in real life. Got it.

Again with intent. At what point are you required to take responsibility for you actions on the court regardless of your intent?

This entire Finals has turned into a fucking circus. Pretending this is great basketball is a fucking disservice to great basketball.

:lol it really has. This is what happens when you continually have to stop and go the the replay to keep judging intent because guys like green keep pushing the boundaries on your rules, and you refuse to enforce them for sake of "the product".

It's a microcosm of society in general. Everything needs an attorneys interpretation of every rule that ever existed on why this particular incident doesn't need to follow that rule, so the responsible party can pass blame to someone else.

The punishment should be that Curry has to play game 7 without a mouthpiece.

Me personally? Most of the time yes, but :lol what is the point you are trying to make? Even if I said a bunch of stuff on here that I wouldn't say in real life that only makes the point I was trying to make.

If I drive drunk and kill someone on accident while behind the wheel, I'm not excused because it wasn't my intent.
