You do realize it took a mountain of media pressure as well as LeBron crying to the media to get Dray Green suspended in the Finals.

This is nothing on that level. It's a flailing arm, doesn't even look like he's aiming for the groin.

I'll be shocked if he's suspended.

Again... I hope you're right. It feels like anything that can be construed as a punch is often really looked at. If there is a better view and the league looks into it.... I think he might be suspended. Check twitter, I'm not the only one.

You're the only one in the world that doesn't like Embiid and you're the only one in the world that thinks what Aldridge did was intentional.

This feels like a petty stab at someone else over the Embiid talk the other day.

Grow up

I'm sure it gets looked at, I just think it won't go further.

Although they could set a precedent for the rest of the Playoffs, cough cough, Dray Green.

Nice read on what Bogut saw this past week. I didn't hear the Philly crowd booing their team but I'd never do that. Be annoyed sure, but don't boo your team.

daeve · 04-17-2019, 02:21 PM

phew! Glad LA isn't that kind of player...what a difference the angle makes!

so he still hits Gary there, but it's way less of an impact with the left hand and it appears to be inadvertent

I stand entirely corrected. First view = looked possibly dirty. Second view, not even close to Dirty.

Draymond back to being alone on Nutpuncher Island

The Bulls did this on a very regular basis during their championship years with Bill Cartwright and then Luc Longley. Granted that I believe Adams is better than either one of the other two, but there is precedent for it.

What a shock. I was totally right.

Looks like LMA will not be suspended for that. It looked like nothing even from the shoddy angle.

tjforce · 04-17-2019, 08:21 PM

Man... Indy sure knows how to disappear offensively. This has got to be the hardest series to watch.

And what's up with Milwaukee? Are they going to wake up the second half?

ClipsandVols · 04-17-2019, 08:23 PM

What just happened to Indy? Worst final minute in history of NBA Playoffs. 4 boneheaded plays b2b.

Pacers are not using Sabonis at all this series for some stupid reason, cost them the early portion of the 4th. My Pacers are fighting tough but they can't overcome the loss of Oladipo in the playoffs especially on the road. I don't expect as bad of droughts at home and these guys don't quit.

packman80 · 04-17-2019, 08:45 PM

LOL Blake Griffin gets back to back games with a T while on the bench.

the27guy · 04-17-2019, 08:55 PM

Sat down to watch jazz Houston. I’ve been watching for 5 minutes. Houston LITERALLY hasn’t missed.

packman80 · 04-17-2019, 09:30 PM

Question is not will Detroit win a game but will they not lose by under 20 in a game.

Kingofkings1281 · 04-17-2019, 09:37 PM

People really think this team can’t beat GS in a 7 game series?

Bronconation24 · 04-17-2019, 09:43 PM

Mitchell is such an inneffecient chucking mediocre player

packman80 · 04-17-2019, 09:44 PM

So now with Giannis and Harden starting to take over the NBA have we now seen them become the kings of the NBA and James become court jester?

Yeah he has plenty of brutal games. It's kind of what Utah needs though.

Harden is just ridiculous.

pgisback · 04-17-2019, 09:51 PM

Thought Utah would put up a bigger fight this series. Not even competitive. They might steal one in Utah though.
