Re: Around the NBA Thread 2016-17
Yep a whole lotta BS suspending Green now. What a joke. Series could possibly go 7 now, NBA will get their wish. And Barkley is a sensitive bitch. I don't think a man stepping over you warrants a punch to the nether zone particularly in that situation. That's just me though.

LeBron is a bitch. I could care less if he ever wins another game. Anyone suggesting he could be some sort of unstoppable force in the NFL is just as much a joke as that idea.

I'm in 100% agreement. It's so effing blatant the way the league is manipulating this. And ABC wants to get its bucks too. Meanwhile Lebron I guess goes scot free--or did he get a little fine.
Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, a vision.

I don't think this is a LeBron thing, league just found a good excuse to try to extend the series. Remember that shameful game 5 in Indy with Heat up 3-1? But, yeah LeBron is a bitch on a side note but, this isn't the league specifically catering to him.

You can't honestly believe Green would have been suspended if that was Matthew Delladova and not Lebron. Ask Steven Adams.

There's noway Green is suspended if the Cavs are up 3-1.

It is about Lebron.
He clearly massaged the incident in the post game press conference and dared the NBA to not only look at it but act. He clearly responded when he was asked whether Draymond Green would be punished, NO and smirked his way through the interview.
He is a bitch and of course the NBA taking advantage of that doesn't change that essential fact.

Re: Around the NBA Thread 2016-17
Green shouldn't have gotten suspend for that but he should have been suspended for kicking Adams in the nuts so it evens out as far as I am concerned.

Re: Around the NBA Thread 2016-17
The league gets millions of dollars for commercial ads during the finals which could be maximized by going 7 games. But this has nothing to do with that.

You can do it without Draymond Green. Do it for us. In fact, don't just beat the Cavs, embarrass them.

Lol at Magic asking the Lakers to remove his honorary title. Can't say that I blame him. I wouldn't want to be associated with that garbage either.

He is just so corny. Seems like a good dude in real life, but what a corn ball.
I can't remember the last time he got into a verbal exchange on the court. When he did I was kinda hyped. Okay LBJ, finally sticking up for yourself. I was into it. ..... Thennn I'm on B/R & hearing he's telling the media what Dray called him & what not, i'm like nahhhhh. I just with the corny media gotta gossip type ****. & He got tight cause Dray called him a *****? Lol man, he woulda really been in tears 15-20 years ago with GP & MJ's smack talk.
*** Honestly i used to hate Melo too, but I did a complete 180 on him. He's just not a cornball like LBJ. Even with that whole thing KG & the honey nut cheerios. If true, that's highly offensive & he never came crying to the media or non of that bs. Spoke to him, squashed the beef & moved on. -- Melo coulda played that up. I'm 100% sure LBJ woulda.
Just finish them off tonight. Please

Yup. When KG insulted Melo, Melo waited for him by the team bus to fight. Dude tried to handle the situation himself.
Then you look at LeBron - lol. Remember when Lance Stephenson was a rookie and made the choke signal from the bench during the playoffs? Well, apparently, LeBron sent Juwan Howard, Haslem and one other player to the Pacers locker room to rough him up. LeBron is too chicken to fight a rookie. Weak.

If I remember right there was the Dexter Pitman (not sure if I remember the name right) elbow to Lance's throat later in the series. Very high road and classy response there lol. Can't say you've been taking the high road for 13 years with **** like that.
