Real MVP that doesn't know the score in crunch time??

Dont forget that gamble at the end of the half

how much you wanna bet LeClown's STILL mad at him by Sunday morning...

 

[bksballer89]

Ty Lue is too busy complaining about the obvious blocking foul on LBJ late in the 4th

 

[gordontrue]

TT is definitely going to be suspended.

You are wrong. That isn't even close to making the league even think about a suspension.

Remember when Curry threw a mouthpiece directly into a fans face?

 

[LAD]

So, if Dray shoved the ball in someone's face everyone on here would be calling for his head.
GS don't need TT to be suspended to win, but right is right & there should be consequence for his bad sportsmanship.

 

[Montalban]

Genuinely glad Klay is ok.

Props to Curry for a great game.

Also, I hate him and I hate his incessant taunting and complaining, but Dray had some big time daggers.

Curry's shot right before half time turned out to be critical; not just entertaining.

Yeah......Thompson punched Green in the face with a basketball. And got a flagrant 2 for it. Miss me with that shit.

Good point.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

That's why I cheer against him now.

I think his legacy would have been better by ending his career in Miami - but Bosh with blood clots was a serious blow - I don't know they would have over-came that one - I just know that Pat Riley was and is one of the smartest in the NBA and would have found ways

I think it will be down-graded to a flagarant 1 and a fine - no suspension -

Doubt he get suspended. Would be pretty surprised

No, they called a flagrant for his foul on Livingston which is a joke and will get rescinded.

He'll probably get a tech foul assessed for the ball in Draymonds face.

Let's review here, shall we:

2016 - Lebron instigates Draymond. Draymond swipes at Lebron's testicals - gets a 1 game suspension.
Cleveland fans support it because Draymond of course is a thug in their eyes.

2018 - Draymond appears to taunt Thompson. Thompson punches/shoves basketball in Draymond's face. Cleveland fans point out that Curry threw a mouth piece and hit a fan (clearly accidental) and TT doesn't warrant a suspension.

You can't make up the hypocrisy.

 

[shopson67]

JR Smith with some inexcusable brain lock at the end.

That would require a brain. A simple look at the score board as they were heading to the line would've cured his ills...

 

[Heatles84]

Flagrant 2 my friend. That's a shot at a player's head. And intentional one. If Draymond got suspended in 2016, what TT was far worst.

Reputation matters. He wouldn't be suspended either though.

Couple this incident with JRs slide into home plate on Klay & Cle looks dirty as a team.

 

[CitySushi]

What a time to be alive!!!

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I disagree, refs already take too much time at the monitors

I would rather they protect the game - reviews is used in other sports and besides that - they can get extra advertising and make more $$$$ - A few extra minutes won't hurt anyone

 

[Heatles84]

I doubt that. The league office hopefully will let what occurred there and dealt with by the refs on the court stand as the final call.

Nothing got unusually out of hand. It was the heat of the moment.
Refs adjudicated it all properly.

They could issue warnings to both teams....but suspensions would absolutely be the wrong way to go for that little kerfuffle.

Yeah....all altercations are due to the heat of the moment, but suspensions have occurred regardless. TT missed a total of 2.6 seconds of the game. I don't see where the punishment came in. It would've been different had he got ejected in the 3rd quarter.
