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

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.

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.

What Bynum did to Barea fucking pissed me off, so the biased fan in me will say yes. Plus, Bynum is a fucking clown. How many games did he get for that? Like 8?

Artest? Yeah, what he did was straight up fucked and I was disgusted by it.
Bynum? no. stop being a homer faggot, 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.

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