Grizzlies: Z-Bo Suspended for Game 7

[Horry Hipcheck]

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

[LkrFan]

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

[313]

Z-Bo was on the Leba 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..

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

[PingPong]

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

[~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.

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/chann...olph-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 ing 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 ing know Spur fan ain't talking.... you Ho's forget about 2007 vs Suns

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]

It is bull 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.

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

[Kidd K]

Even that roach Fisher comes in and does that . 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 ing that up by hollering and celebrating after every field goal and whistle he gets.

[Arnold Toht]

As long as Duncan doesn't ring.

[Katherine Robinson]

As long as Duncan doesn't ring.

You related to Himmler, Toht?

[lefty]

Lol the NBA is so re ed

Yeah, go ahead, kill game 7's ratings

[spurraider21]

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

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

Bald Jew doing everything to ensure a Thunder victory, rigged...

Spurfans getting their chicken on per par.

[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?..
