UPDATE: MWP suspended 7 games

[dockingsched]

still stand by my pg 1 or 2 post guessing that he's out for the entire playoffs.

[snaquille oatmeal]

If Metta gets some ridiculous suspension Stern wont be coming to LA any time soon. I think he hasn't shown up in LA since th nixed trade.

[NOODLESTYLE]

MWP was supposedly going to on Conan tonight, but cancelled.

Tom Penn also came on ESPN Radio LA and said he thinks MWP will get suspended for the entire playoffs.

For all the hoops fans who feared the worst for James Harden.

Im solid. Feeling good. Appreciate y'all for checking on me!!

Either way I know it doesn't justify what RonRon did.
It definitely soothes the situation a bit IMO.

I knew Harden was gonna be alright.
Maybe the Thunder P.R was trying to make it more than it was?

I mean of course you never take any head injuries lightly.
A bit odd that after the hit occurred the game went to halftime,
then James Harden came back having passed all concussion tests
and was diagnosed stable.
Following all of that, upper management decided to sit him out.
I don't totally blame them for that decision but it's just the anticipation and wait is causing this everlasting ridiculous topic to close out the season.

Bottom line is that the NBA needs to hurry up and wrap this thing up.
Or maybe the NBA is more concerned about covering up their laundered money
instead of their annual suspension of MWP??? lulz! GET EM FISH!

Fcuk. Just drop the hammer already. It's killing me.

Not good, but it wouldn't have been as funny at it's potential with all this drama going on.
Someone posted the DV-R reminder in Lakersground last week.
Have mines ready to go.

Tough Break.
Conan and MWP together on the big screen would be Legendary.

James Harden is out tonight. He won't be with the team on the bench either.

And here we go

James Harden is out tonight. He won't be with the team on the bench either.

The Thunder are locked at the 2nd seed.
I would be surprised if Scott Brooks and upper management played
Durant, Westbrook, or Ibaka anymore this season.

Not that it would matter in determining the outcome on Metta's suspension.
The NBA's definitely gonna weigh out every single factor on this one.

ESPN Analyst, Tom Penn believes Ron is done for the playoffs...

[twinthunder3]

He'll be suspended for as long as Harden is hurt...

[dockingsched]

He'll be suspended for as long as Harden is hurt...

so two games? sweet

[Edrees]

I think they would... I think teams play for advantages in their conference... I don't think they worry too much about the Finals because so much can happen by then and that environment diminishes home-court advantages to an extent...

But the Lakers wouldn't face OKC til possibly the 2nd round. Heck if Lakers lose tonight and clips win out they wouldn't face til WCF. Does OKC REALLY think Ron would be suspended that long and risk HCA in the FINALS just to face LA without RON? Seems like they need to reweigh their priorities.

Metta World Peace has been suspended seven games by the NBA. #lakers

[ennui]

Meh expected worse

[Draper]

If we get the Nuggets in the first round, we should be alright without him.

I was hoping for 5 games, but expected worse.

[RocketPower23]

Not so bad, I was starting to think the worst.

[RamonSessions7]

Exactly what I expected ~1st round

[Sedale Threatt]

What I was hoping for.
