Bynum's Suspension

Bynum post game interview:

Question: "disappointed in yourself for what happened?"

Bynum: "nah, I'm not disappointed in myself...it is what it is..."

Seriously what a classless moron.

Bynum was extremely frustrated, and got really stupid, he should be suspended a few games.

Bynum has done this before, though. And when he did it to Wallace, he suffered a collapsed lung.

for what? game 5 mavs vs lakers?? :lol:

I wouldn't call him a moron but he sure isn't press savvy. A media savvy player who was in that position would have said something like, "I let my emotions get the best of me and I'm really sorry it happened. I'm sorry to Barea and more importantly, I know I'll never make another play like that again."

Well, Bynum just made a good old days play and now people want him suspended for half a year. What Bynum did is what many people on realgm claim they want back in the league. So either people should be asking for no suspension/a minor suspension or it is time for you to reassess whether you want back dirty plays.

Even McHale made a halfhearted attempt to get his hands on the ball when he clotheslined Rambis. Bynum just wanted to hurt someone.

I've read countless posts on this board were people have glorified things like Rodman shoving Pippen or Malone's elbow on Isiah and said the NBA is soft because these types of things no longer happen. Now, Bynum gives people a taste of those plays and everyone on realgm wants him suspended for double digit games.

Now I think the league was right to get rid of that crap, but a lot of people argue the league was wrong. If you were in that camp you shouldn't be arguing for Bynum to get a suspension. Instead you should glorify him for deterring lane penetration.

Another great example. Rewatch the clip and you'll see that Malone was going for the block. He didn't get his hand on the ball because Isiah brought it back down to his hip at the last second.

What I'm saying is the league isn't all that different than it was back in the "good 'ol days." You're still allowed to give hard fouls if you actually make a play on the ball.

The difference between now and then isn't what's allowed and what isn't allowed (although a little has changed), the main difference is how it's handled afterwards. It used to be that the players policed themselves. If you gave a dirty foul, you got punched in the face. That was fine when no one watched the games. Nowadays more people watch the NBA on TV (AKA, more families watch the NBA on TV), so the league polices the game instead of letting the players do it.

He didn't do anything to deter penetration, Barea still scored on the play and on subsequent drives. Guys like Bill Laimbeer at least were legitimately strong defenders who consistently played tough, albeit dirty, defense. Bynum just comes across as a sore and immature loser who tries to hurt people who are beating him at basketball.

If this was his first incident, you'd give it 2-5 games. But since it's the THIRD incident then it has to be atleast 10.

Post #288 » by **Luv those Knicks** » Mon May 9, 2011 3:55 am

Malone's shot on Isiah, was, as I recall, retaliatory. I don't remember exactly what the situation was, but the Pistons fouled a jazz player hard and Malone gave payback - not unlike in MLB where one team would bean the other team's best hitter in retaliation for one of their hitters getting beaned.

Not saying that makes it any better, but Malone's shot wasn't unnecessary like Bynum's was.

Bynum was mad cause his team was losing so he hits the smallest guy on the other team for going for a dunk late in the game.

I think that kind of stuff needs a minimum of a 5 game penalty. Honestly, I'd give him 15 games, given that the mavs might lose their player for the rest of the playoffs.

I think, at minimum, every game Barea should be added to Bynum's suspension. I think that's how it should work. You take a player out with a hard foul, every game that player misses, the player who does the hard foul should get a penalty, plus misses a game for every game the guy he injured misses.

Bynum also took out Gerald Wallace a while back. He's flat out dirty, going for injuries to other players like that.

10 games is about right IMO.. this is the THIRD time he did this, not his first offense. Anything less than 5 would be a joke.

Post #295 » by **Luv those Knicks** » Mon May 9, 2011 4:12 am

my bad for not checking the begining of the thread. Beasley video was right there.

Looked it up. Bynum served a 2 game suspension for his foul on Beasley. I think he's got to get at least 5 for this one. Don't know what the league will decide, if it was me, I'd do 10 maybe 15.

http://www.nba.com/2011/news/03/20/bynu ... index.html

Jackson said he agreed with the flagrant foul and Bynum's ejection last Friday, but thought the resulting penalty was "excessive." Bynum will lose roughly $250,000 during his suspension without pay.

"I feel badly for the team, for the fans," Jackson said. "That (suspension) is a subjective thing. I don't know how they judge it. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the penalties, I don't understand."

Bynum was ejected during the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 106-98 win over the Timberwolves after he turned his shoulder and sent Beasley crashing to the court in a mid-air collision when Beasley drove the lane.

Immature and a really sore loser. What a disgrace. So you get embarrassed and decide to go elbow the smallest guy on court. You'd think a guy who has been through so many injuries wouldn't do this sort of crap.

Just throwing this out there, but, game was over. Mav's final possession. Berea going for a dunk wasn't the smartest move I've ever seen. That's what started the Knicks/Nuggets brawl when JR went for the Dunk in the 4th quarter and Isiah even warned the Nuggets not do do it the possession before. (Collins wrapped JR up, didn't try to injure) - and I'm not saying I agree with that kind of play but I understand giving the foul to prevent the dunk at the end of the game.

But, wrap him up, don't elbow the guy to the ground when he's in the air. That was a thug move.

Malone's shot was much dirtier than Bynum's, and he had a history of doing this throughout the years.

I was a little kid when the Mailman was beginning his career, so I remember Malone mostly as a stud player rather than a cheapshot artist, but my overall opinion of him would be much lower if I had watched the crap he pulled beginning with his career at Louisiana Tech. I'd have no problem with suspending someone like Malone for the season for these types of shots.

I hadn't watched that in awhile. He's damned lucky he didn't get hurt on that.
