Green front?

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

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.

No?


Why is common sense so uncommon these days?

if he did touch the ref, a suspension is warranted if the nba wants to be consistent. turk got games for touching the refs shoulders and there was nothing threatening about it.

I don't think Nash will or should get suspended but the league needs a zero tolerance policy. DO NOT touch a ref period. Because right now, it's just someone's interpretation of what should be suspend-able and that can lead to too much bias.

Really that was non-threatening? Turk ran up on him and grabbed him. That was a bad example.

Sometimes players pat the ref on the back or behind while or after they're discussing a call. When you start bumping or grabbing a ref that's a different story.

His name is not Rondo, so probably no.

Anyone who expects the NBA to be consistent with their calls must be out of their damn minds and lives in lala land, and I question if they really follow the NBA the last 20 odd years.

First thing I though of when I saw Nash do that was Rondo.

Nash was arguing a call and he touched the ref. Sure he tried to be friendly and non-intimidating about it, but who's to say he wasn't doing it in a passive aggressive way?

he still hit a ref though, what im saying is the argument is silly, if either punched a ref purposely they'd be suspended. And yes, nash should be suspended in light of recent rondo events

It's not surprising if you listen to their announcers. By far the worst and the biggest homers in the league. The Celtics never foul anyone and every call against them is bogus if you listen to the local broadcast. It's sickening.
