***NBA OFFSEASON 2023 Thread***

Good, they couldn't let that go. Would have been a really bad look for the league.

Westbrook has played well but back to back TOs by him sealed this game.

Oh s**t - they did suspend Draymond 1 game.

Right thing to do but I wasn't sure they'll go thru with it.

Very surprised they didn't announce it earlier.

Not sure what took so long, either he was suspended or he wasn't.

Yea shams reported that he's not expected to get suspended. Probably some pressure from the Kings and maybe how he behaved with the crowd later.

I think it has more to do with his history.

That's what it says in the announcement, not sure if that has even been noted before.

i think dray waving to the crowd, while Silver was there, didn't help.

He's just a dirty player, anytime he hits the floor he kicks his legs toward his opponent who is also on the floor. He also kicks guys in the groin with no penalty. I'm sure the NBA and the networks want Steph and Klay for ratings.

The NBA just openly admitted that the act itself doesn't warrant a suspension, but they are going to suspend him anyway because of who he is.

Just nasty business. Smfh.

Its an even worse look for the league to openly admit that the play itself isn't suspension worthy, yet they still suspended him.

Suns are just not impressive. If PG played LA would win in 6.

I'm quite certain that if he went and checked on Sabonis and looked like he got caught up in emotions and was a tinnie bit remorseful - instead of calling the crowd p***y and riling them up - he wouldn't have gotten suspended.

Also - your history should always matter. If you're known to have a reputation of kicking ppl below the belt - and he certainly does literally - you shouldn't get benefit of doubt.

Having said all that - hope warriors win game 3 and 4. Don't even care that the winner could maybe possibly play Lakers - it is just such an entertaining matchup.

What should Dre have done, just fall to the ground and break his wrist or something? Sabonehead played a silly game and won a silly prize.

I notice how that guy is always on the ground playing the victim. Why do you all think the refs gave him a tech as well?

Probably once they learned of the extent of the Sabonis injury(sternum contusion) they had to do something.
