Giannis Intentionaly Levels Mike Dunleavy

[Jonatton Yeah]

The NBA realized having that goober Dunleavy on the team is punishment enough for the Bulls.

[kodo]

I think the comparison would be to Perkins. Since Perkins should have been suspended for two games, I think Dunleavy should have gotten one. But, since Perkins didn't get squat, I don't think Dunleavy deserves anything, either.

Agreed.



This was a no suspension hit.

Far more egregious than what Dunleavy did. Crowder's head snapped back.

[mattg]

MCW punched Dunleavy in the mouth later on in the game. Not sure why everyone is just ignoring that.

Uhh because dunleavy hit MCW above the shoulders for a second time right before that?

[Leto]

It's ridiculous how Dunleavy didn't get suspended. Hitting someone in the throat while they are in the air is extremely dangerous. You mind as well not suspend JR either if you aren't going to suspend Dunleavy.

Perkins have the excuse that "he was setting up a screen and extended his arms to control the opposing player and accidentally hit the head with his fingers." Dunleavy just decided to punch an opposing player in the face / throat twice in the same game.

Uhh, I don't think "yeah, but he hit me first" is in the rule book.

I wouldn't say that's is "far more egregious." I would say they are comparable. Dunleavy got a Flagrant 1 assigned to his and Perkins got his upgraded as well, I believe. Should be the end of it.

[Ice Man]

Poor Giannis. What he did was stupid but he was punished for it. He certainly did not need to apologize to Mike. Dunleavy know what he was doing, he was looking to get hit.

I'm sure he didn't do it to make Dunleavy feel better.

[LUKE23]

Dunleavy instigated all of this. Giannis' individual play was worse, but it wasn't based on nothing and that should factor in, as he was retaliating for Dunleavy's douche moves. Giannis should have gotten a suspension, but so should Dunleavy, and that is nowhere near debatable. This is nothing but Thorrn, the Bulls cock sucker, giving them a gift. Period. Man, go Cavs. Hope they decimate that whiny, dirty ass team.

Actually, it is debatable. Like I said, Dunleavy's move was not different than Perkin's. Neither of them were suspended. Had Dunleavy been suspended and not Perkins, that would have been bull. On the other hand, I think Perkins and Dunleavy should have both been suspended. So, I think the rule should have heavier punishment. But, that's a different subject.

So punching people mid air in the neck ,stirring the **** in the game doesn't justify a suspension but because Perkins didnt got punished it means its justified?
Since when you fix something bad with another bad. NBA is simply not even sticking with their own rules which in this occasion both Dunleavy and Perkins would get ejected.
It seems like NBA endorses dirty plays, its hilarious.

It does not mean it's "justified." It means that you can't show a bias for the Cavs or any other team and that's what happened here.

Like I said, I think the punishment should be a suspension for similar acts, but it isn't what the NBA is doing right now. So, you can't just start doing it for Dunleavy. Why is this hard to understand?

Let me just add that nothing should happen to Dunleavy for the Giannis shove. The MCW one though, I thought was excessive.

Why it means unbiased, why it cannot mean that NBA officiating is simply a joke ?
It should be clear as day that any form of dirty play that can injure a player should be punished and not endorsed by any means, its doesn't matter who is the player or for which team he plays.

Perkins got called on this while dunleavy didn't got a single call in 3 clearly flagrant fouls, why is it so hard to understand this ?
Why Giannis according to this gets suspended 1 game for the intention of the foul when you clearly see Dunleavy intentionally punches MCW mid air on the neck, then goes for the same thing on Giannis and even after all this crap that happen he does it again on MCW.
This is just ridiculous.

had you played the cavs in the first round you do realize you would be saying go Bulls right now right?

And some celtics fans would be in here talking about go Cavs lol

I have been saying this about Bulls for ages, i didn't wait to play you guys to point how whinny the team is, especially Gasol, that guy complains to the refs even when he trips by himself.

This is Gasols first year and he was always complaining as a laker too, yes Dunleavy got some veteran dirty in him (he also played for the bucks not to long ago), but outside of him we are not a dirty team. Its just sour grapes at this point.

Not true. Between Gasol's flopping and whining on every play, Dunleavy's behind the scenes cheap play, and Butler running his mouth constantly, not to mention just having to watch Noah in general, the Bulls are a very unlikable bunch. Love and respect Rose, but that's it in your starting five. Keep in mind many Bucks fans didn't even like Dunleavy when he was in Milwaukee.

Dunleavy has been known as dirty player for ages , there plenty of highlights showing his talent around the internet.

As for the Gasol, the problem is that he whines all the time and never gets punished for it just because he is Gasol. Same goes for many players in Bulls, like Noah,Butler and so on, heck even Thibs complains all the time and the refs just ignore him while if it was a different player or coach they would get tech called almost instantly.

my hypothetical scenario has Giannis getting backhanded by JR and trust me when i say Lebron would have provided tons of whining for you to get your fill. Mayo was yapping his mouth as well and probably would have gotten one of the cavs to mouth back.

Playoff series not only bring out chippiness in the players but also the fans, see it every year, no issue with Wiz fans last year and then boom we play each other in the first round and like you i was pulling for them to get beat. Like i said, we all get that bag full of sour grapes after a series loss.

[carl_english]

Giannis has not learned drama skills yet to sell the foul. Maybe next year! That Mike tho gets away with a lot. He looks like a nice guy and with a reputation like that Reps don't expect him to act out.
