Series Thread: Conference Semifinals: 1) Denver Nuggets vs. 4) Phoenix Suns

[Mecca]

When has a player pushed a spectator and not been suspended? If I’m wrong I’ll own it.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Disagree.

Dude held the ball like he was a member of the team, not the owner.

If Jokic pushed a Suns player, would he be suspended?

He didn’t. He put hands on a spectator

Breaking precedent would be some other player pushing an owner WHO INITIATED THE CONTACT and getting suspended.

Jokic initiated the contact when he runs over to the seats to grab the ball.


And here’s my obligatory run at Jokic:

Dude can’t even take the ball away from a 5’9’’ 43 year old unathletic money guy.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Inapplicable. You know what the precedent is. Just own it. You don’t want a playoff series to be mired with a suspension for an important player in Game 5. You can own it. It’s the same decision Joe Dumars was told to make.

Dude, you are trying to hard.

We see it differently.

Dude is not simply a spectator.

He is the owner.

If Riley, Pelinka, Masai did that shit, they would get fined.

Owner should be held at a even HIGHER standard.

What is the precedent?

Show me an example of a team owner delaying a game, touching a player and the player got suspended because they pushed them.

You can’t.

Because, there isn’t one.

You are trying to contort this situation into a player hitting a fan and that is also not applicable.

I bet you are hell at twister.

Booker's last 2 games: 34 of 43 from the field. 79%.

Best ever over in the playoffs over a 2 game stretch.

Best ever mon center I believe, I think Wilt did better. What I heard on the radio today anyway.

I’ve been saying all day he should have been ejected last night, fined today, and relegated to the suites for the rest of playoffs. Has nothing to do with Jokic putting hands on a spectator. That’s a suspension and the NBA balked.

What is the precedent?

When a player puts hands on a spectator they get suspended. Been that way since even before the Malice at the Palace

Not sure it’s ever gone down just this way.

You can’t.

Nah. This one is easy. The people playing twister are the basketball fans trying to pretend that putting hands on a spectator isn’t an auto suspension.

 

[fightinfunbags]

And Jokic has out scored him!

It’s all good. I still think you’re a good dude.

You're not as bad as DJ....thats a compliment

Not suspended….





Not suspended……

When did the NBA take shit outside?!?!?!?

Bro, you just said it probably has never gone down this way.

So, that means no precedent.

You can’t just pick the closest one that supports your argument.

You want to treat it like Dude is a regular fan, I want to treat it like a player, coach or executive.

Neither is right.

There’s no difference in my eyes. It’s someone who is sitting courtside and not playing the game. You’re drawing a distinction without a difference. Again, I’m in the camp that both should be punished. Have we even seen yet if Ishkabbible was fined?

Nothing happened to him as of yet

It is most definitely not Jokic’s job to get the ball back.

Stay in your lane.
