Nash just touched a ref complaining about a call

[UGA Hayes]

I havent seen footage of the Rondo bump but why didnt he appeal? Seems like an open shut case (and no Im not being sarcastic). If the ref agreed with him it seems like a no brainer. Didnt Wade appeal even though it was obvious he kicked the guy?

They literally announced the suspension 1-2 hours before the game (after a 2 day layoff), not much time to appeal. Plus lets not pretend that Stu Jackson isn't the worst emplyee employed by the NBA.

I like Rondo, but he has a bad attitude. The NBA makes decisions based on history A good example would be MWP. When he fouls someone he has better chance to get suspended over other players. Nash wouldn't hurt a fly.

Nash didn't touch him in an intimidating manner.... I've seen many players touch refs before in a normal way and it's not an issue.

Will he get suspended?

Nice u/n

Pierce couldn't even knock out a 50-something year old ref.

Believe me, the league office will have no problem suspending a Lakers player.

Remember Kobe getting suspended twice for "unnatural basketball acts" twice a few seasons ago and Lebron doing the same exact thing in the playoffs that year with not a single **** word said from anyone.

I wish someone around here would dig that up. It was like mirror images, same exact plays.

Kobe was swinging his arms into his defenders after he shot. He actually injured more than one person and deserved the suspension. I don't recall Lebrons, but Kobe's was definitely fair

I don't know what's up with the embed, but here's Lebron's. Like I said, it's the exact same thing Kobe got suspended for.

Was it in an intimidating manner?

Wade and LeBron could probably punch a ref and it wouldn't even be a T lol.

paul pierce actually punched a ref and didnt get a t, so you're hurting your own argument

Green front?

A hit yes, but it was an inadvertent hit. Unless Pierce has eyes in the back of his head.

some of you are so over dramatic with this ****.

nah he's a white guy that rule only implies to scary black men (eg - non-scary black guys like Tim Duncan and Shane Battier can touch refs too, without punishment)

/green

LOL wut?

1. What you said is completely racist.

2. In what world is Rondo scary???

Turk didn't have a history and it wasn't intimidating and he got suspended. I want to see Nash's booty out the game. In fact, by the end of this week I want the whole Lakers Big 4 not playing. We'll get Kobe for making his "Kobe Face" on the same floor as a ref.

I thought it looked pretty intimidating. Turk got called for a foul, he RUNS up to the ref and gets right up next to him and puts BOTH hands on his shoulders. Maybe Turk is a touchy feely guy but I thought it crossed the line 100%.

I haven't seen the Nash touch, so I'm not sure what happened.
