it looks pretty bad in real time too, tbh. doesn't look too "incidental" unless your cobbler and a bunch of people are standing in your way.
Lngrr. You my dude. Steve smith is a former Hawk and Spur player that works for NBA TV. SAS (Stephen a. Smith) works for ESPN and he said it was DEFINITELY intentional for the record ... but nice try.![]()

And I know some people think all black dudes look alike, and they have the same name ... but how do you confuse Steve Smith with Stephen A smith?!![]()
Calm Down. Temper brah.![]()
Not mad, Lngrr one of the coolest on here.
Just dont like being misquoted ...
if harden misses the rest of reg season Ronron is done for the year.
if not, 5-10 games
Thanks, Adande![]()
I don't care if it was intentional, unintentional or oops, I meant to hit him, just not that had. He's getting 10 games minimum tbh.
Blair doesn't have the balls to do it in the first place. Kobe fought (literally) with Shaq. You think he afraid of Blair?![]()
And when I was 5, I thought Santa was real. That doesn't mean he is.
When you watch it again in live speed, do you still think it was incidental?
So do you think it was intentional or not? You said it looked intentional in slo-mo, incidental live. Obviously, only one of those is true. Which do you think it is?
Understood Killa, but I'm just amazed at all the people downplaying this.
I misread that. The youtube I linked to said it had comments from Screamin A Smith, so my brain fluxed it up.
, I'm siding with Screaming A? Maybe I AM wrong.![]()
Harden getting to his spot for a quick inbounds play. He has a right to be there. World Peace unfortunately can be a violent transition.

@ killakobe81 going all in with homerism in this thread.

MWP should be sat for 5 games + however many games Harden misses, minimum. What if Harden isn't right for the entire playoffs and MWP is playing most of the 1st round? That's acceptable?
David West got one game for punching Mike Miller in the back of the head from behind with no question as to intent. Pretty similar risk of a head injury with both plays. If that's anything to go by then MWP gets 1 + 1 extra game for being a repeat offender.
Nam, have you ever actually been punched or thrown a punch before? Usually one closes the fist.
That said, West could at least claim he was trying to foul. (And splitting hairs, I'd probably rather have someone slap the top of my head then elbow me full force in the ear.)
Don't be obtuse. There's no way anyone could claim David West's play was a legitimate attempt to foul. That's absurd.
The bottom part of the palm can deliver a strong enough blow to the head to cause a concussion. And from behind while you are running? That's a very dangerous play with high risk of injury.

Would you rather be hit on the top of the head by an open hand, or behind the ear by a wind-up elbow?
.... pathetic.
I know, it is isn't it? Harden is writhing in pain and the announcers are laughing at him.
I'd take an open hand. But try having someone wind up and hit you with force on the head with the bottom part of your palm where the bone is. That can cause damage.
Absolutely, and he probably should have gotten 3 games for that.
However, there is no understating how much damage that elbow from MWP could have done.
