Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

wtf did Rondo do this time? :lmao
Against the Hawks a referee called a terrible offensive foul on him and Rondo bumped into him, I don't think it was intentional like in the playoffs but since he made contact with a ref he got suspended.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

lol @ you saying that wasn't intentional. yeah, him clearly walking up the guy and bumping him on purpose wasn't intentional. When he has a history of this why should anyone give him the benefit of doubt?


and yeah, that is worth 10 games after he's done it like three times now? He clearly isn't respecting the officiating whatsoever and this shit isn't acceptable. Once again, if this was Cousins you would be agreeing right now. :kobe

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

You sound like a complete fucking moron to believe that's worth 10 games.

Ron Artest gets suspended 7 games for elbowing Harden.
Rondo got suspended two games earlier this year for the fight with Humphries.
Wade got suspended one game for kicking Sessions in the dick.
Bynum got suspended five games for elbowing Barea.
Hell, Ben Wallace only got suspended 6 games for the Pistons-Pacers brawl and he started everything.

But you want Rondo to get suspended for 10 games....you're a dumbass.

It's not that lone incident, which is the problem. The guy is a repeat offender and in literally every other league when a player continues to do the same thing over and over that is breaking the rules/causing suspensions the punishments begin to get worse. Rondo has been suspended FOUR times within LESS than a YEAR. If you don't think he deserves a 10 game suspension that would actually mean something and might smarten him the fuck up then you're the one being a moron, if only because you're a homer.

Ron Artest deserved more than 7 games. Hell, he should have been gone for the season. That shit was outright dirty and he had the intent to injure.

Rondo deserved way more than 2 games as well.

Wade as well, especially because he has the same deal as Rondo with this repeat offender shit.

The fact you don't seem to realize that this is happening over and over because the suspensions is baffling. You're as bad as the league and the only reason is because it's Rondo. Get your bias shit out of here and realize this is a problem in the league and not with just Rondo.

Maybe Nash will shoot more than 6 times a game. I swear, a guy that has basically averaged a 180 (90-50-40 averages - something that is impressive to do in one season, let alone average it for your career) for his entire career taking so few shots is fucking blasphemy. It's like a slap in the face to those who wish they could shoot like that. STOP WASTING YOUR TALENT. SHOOT THE FUCKING BALL. /rant

Seriously. Nash shot lights out with ONE EYE that one game which happened to be fucking awesome. I think he'll certainly get more shots but dunno how many.

And what sites do you guys use for NBA rumors/news? I usually just use ESPN & reddit's NBA section but I'm curious if there's better sites.

No, Harden has proven himself to be worth that contract. He was playing crappy at first but he's adjusted to his role and the Rockets are playing some great basketball.


With the way the NBA is ran, 10 game suspensions only happen if it's something serious like the Pacers-Pistons or Knicks-Nuggets brawl from a couple years back. Based on the way the NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION hands out suspensions, calling for Rondo to get suspended 10 games is idiotic.

If Rondo should be suspended 10 games for what he just did, then Ron Artest and Bynum should've been suspended for 30 for what they did against Barea and Harden.

Which is exactly my point. It's a problem within the league which is why there are so many repeat offenders, because the suspensions mean nothing. Make the suspensions mean something and this shit will stop. Do you think Rondo would still do this if he was actually gone for awhile opposed to one game at a time? Pretty sure the bitching he would get from KG would be enough for him to never do it again.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

I remember that one eye game :lmao that was fucking priceless.

The broken nose game was equally impressive. Grant Hill's reaction to Nash putting his nose back in place is hilarious.

:lmao:lmao

I remember loving that Lakers/Suns series in '10. Enjoyed the Suns since I was a big fan of Nash, Hill & DRAGIC~! Artest with that last second win in game 5 or something. That series owned. I remember Dragic dropped something like 23 in the 4th quarter in the series before that against Spurs.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

So do you think Bynum and Artest should've been suspended for at least 25 games each for what they did to Barea and Harden?

Also Wade should've been suspended for 20 for what he did to Sessions right?

Artest? Yeah, what he did was straight up fucked and I was disgusted by it.

Bynum? no. stop being a homer ******, once again. Rondo is a repeat offender which is why I think his slight bump deserves far more. as far as I know, that was Bynum's first incident and the suspension was fine.
 
#3,610 ·
Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

Actually it wasn't Bynum's first incident. Pretty sure he also intentionally knocked Michael Beasley down in mid-air earlier in the same season and got nothing for it.

But yeah I'm the homer ******. Rondo should be suspended 10 games for slightly touching a ref, but Bynum getting suspended five games for clotheslining a player half his size in mid-air, potentially causing a serious injury, and it's not the first time he did something of that nature...his five game suspension was fair.

You are absolutely a homer. Arguing with you sometimes is unbearable. I just basically agreed with everything you said about other players, as well as Bynum if he is a repeat offender, and you still continue to cry even though Rondo is one of if not the worst repeat offender in the league as I don't think anyone else has been suspended as many times as he has recently. :kobe

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

What you're saying is stupid as fuck. The NBA has an 82 game season. Suspending players for 10 games left and right for petty bullshit like what just happened to Rondo is as stupid as it gets. Where was all this outrage from you when Wade kicked Sessions in the balls or when Cousins tried to fight a defenseless commentator? You say I'm a biased homer, but last time I checked you're probably the biggest Celtic hater in this thread so I highly doubt we're getting an unbiased view from you.

But when Artest gets into more shit, I wanna hear you crying about how he should be suspended for 60 games. Since he's the biggest repeat offender of all.

What I'm saying is stupid as fuck? Do you realize in other leagues this is what happens? Last year Torres in the NHL was suspended 35 games(or more, I can't remember exactly) for a dirty hit. Dirty hits happen all the time and usually don't get this big of a suspension, but because he's known for them and known to do it he got a big one and most people found it completely justified. The same goes for Rondo being the PUNK that he is. The guy does this shit repeatedly and yet you want him to get away with it why? Why does Rondo not deserve to have his suspensions increased over time when he does the same shit over and over? Give me a logical reason.

Artest should be out of the league if he does something similar to what he did to Harden. I couldn't care less.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

I'm not saying Rondo should get away with it. But Rondo shouldn't get suspended 10 games for barely touching a ref, no matter what his history is. That is absolutely stupid to even suggest that. Should Rondo's suspensions go up more for the more stuff he gets into? Maybe. I'd say 5 or 6 at most. 10 games is way too much for something as minor as what he did. Every time Rondo gets into something, you come in here crying like a little bitch about suspending him for 10 games, but why don't you do it for anyone else? Why didn't you do all this crying for what Wade did to Sessions? He's a repeat offender. Where was your outrage for Charlie Villanueva's flagrant foul on Isaiah Thomas? He's a repeat offender. If you're gonna do it for one, do it for all.

The NBA isn't the NHL so comparing them is meaningless.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

I never defended his actions. I said he could one mature if placed in the right environment. I also said his actions aren't completely his fault because the organization and people around him are clearly not helping in any way and making matters worse. Does that mean he isn't responsible for himself and his actions? No. But it does mean that the people around him are only making things worse.

And I'm not soft crybaby, I just wish ******* like Rondo weren't running around throwing the basketball at refs and getting in their faces every time a foul doesn't go their way. And yes, I hate it when Kobe does it as well because usually it costs on the defensive side of the ball when he goes out of his way to complain to the ref.

Re: NBA Thread: 12/13 Season - Are the Warriors for real?

Thanks for the compliment WWF.

Lol at Howard, Gasol & Hill all being hurt. As if the Lakers season couldn't get any worse. They're pulling out DAT TANK. Oh wait they can't tank because the Suns have their lottery pick. Lel.


And what pisses me off even more about the Rondo "bump" is that he didn't get called for a technical for it, the commentators for both teams didn't even acknowledge it and no one in the media talked about it. The only reason Rondo got suspended is because Danny Ferry, the Hawks GM went to the NBA's headquarters crying about it. And he got fined 15k for snitching.
