Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)

Guys, let the media sweat KD. Why do you all care? We get enough attention as it is. Sheesh, is this what Kobe fans went through when LBJ starting making a splash? It's not that serious or worth talking about to this extent. Let him get all the reg season talk and stuff. Just give me rings.

Lmao the GB is too funny ya'll thought Bobcats fans were bad? If the Raptors get through to face us they will be insufferable good lord you would think they already won the title the way they are talking ****.

Whatever, let them be crazy fans. I will give the Raps this, they do have a solid fan base. Let them have their moment.

Although I will say, they ought to try really hard to end it tonight, otherwise they may not get a chance to talk **** to us.

People are pretending like the media wasn't hugging D-Wade's and LeBron's nuts when they were younger. That's the benefit of the doubt you get as a young star. Once the failures amount, the pressure rises. Wade had the injury doubts, Bron had the choking doubts, they'll find a narrative for Durant as well, it's just how it goes.

Say about KD what you want, but he's responding as a player. He's been inconsistent but he competes and makes no excuses and I can respect that. There's gonna be a time when Durant is on the hot seat and LeBron receives the Kobe treatment with multiple championships to him and there'll be a new star putting pressure on Durant.

Once again proving the NBA loves OKC & KD's nuts, ridiculous suspension...But somehow McRoberts doesn't get suspended for that elbow to LeBron's throat & Paul George doesn't get suspended for coming off the bench :lol:

wow i had no idea it was something so minor. complete nonsense. everyone wants to call today's nba "soft" and that the "in the old days the NBA had real men". na the league office is soft, not the players.

OKC is going to obliterate the West from here on out anyway tho. Conley getting hurt killed Memphis

and I love the OKC fans with thee "closed fist, a rule is a rule"

We'll I bought u couldn't leave the bench, a rule is a rule right ?

$ilver knows ratings and $$$$

Yep...Pacers/Heat ECF coming up

It would be epic if the Hawks still managed to pull it off. Hard to see it, though.

Haslem was on Dan LeBatard's show earlier today and Dan was joking about how he thought Haslem should've been preemptively suspended for what he was going to do to McBob for sending a forearm to Bron's throat.

Haslem said he asked Spo to get back into the game but Spo gave him that don't do anything stupid look and sat him. Then after the game Bron told him the refs were going to be watching out for it and it wasnt worth it in the first round. He said hes saving his flagrant fouls for the ECF and on.

Haslems always kept it real, born and raised in Miami and sarcrificed millions to stay here. Gotta love it.

Watch the slow motion zoomed in replay of Z Bo's swing, it was clearly a closed fist punch and then at the last second he tries to make it looks more like a push. Suspension was deserved.

and Paul George stepped 8 inches onto the court come on guys, I get the OKC and Pacer hate but you don't have to be general board troll level hate.

Yeah man that was an obvious punch in the face. Stupid thing for Z-Bo to do. You're trying to be a champion, that's not the way you behave when you're team relies heavily on you. Smart on Adams for not retaliating.

If David West did that to LeBron everyone on here would want him stoned to death and banned for life. I really don't see how you can defend Z Bo here, you have to be smarter than that. He threw away a chance in the playoffs so he could hit a rookie upside the head, I mean come on.

Like I said on the GB explain the difference between these two things

This one is a $20K fine & a flagrant 2

This one is a suspension

Oh please, spare me with that bs. Amar'e Stoudemire & Boris Diaw back when they were playing for Phoenix got suspended for the exact same thing that Paul George did & it ended up costing the Suns the series

People want consistency

Right! Oh and the walk on the court is foolishness. He stepped up and stepped back. Don't ruin a game 7 over that imo. Give them a chance to be taken out at full strength.
