Fred and Bembry Suspended 1 game

[Raps in 4]

Silver wants us to get Cade!

The fines on top of the ejection are stupid

Yeah it was like a 5 second shoving match. They both deserved a Technical foul and thats it.

[Indeed]

I don't get why Bembry gets a game suspension. He was never near the incident.
Meanwhile, he was up before OG prepared for the dunk. I thought usually it happens when the bench started celebrating on a break away dunk.

[Vorticity]

Players leave the bench area ALL the time. Regardless of an altercation or not.

Pretty dumb.

Congratulations, Adam Silver.

The NBA has consistently suspended players who leave the bench area so maybe I'm missing something here. It is the one thing they do well instead of focusing on real crap that influence the game like flopping.

Adam loves the flopping/high scores.

Not sure what the big deal is leaving the bench area.

When a player makes a huge dunk, block shot...whatever, the bench clears and runs away. Pretty sure those bench players end up on the court. What a dumb rule.

If i'm not mistaken that was added after or a direct consequence of "Malice at the Palace"

I get the rule is the rule and they violated it. But it’s kind of funny watching the replay of the incident. Bembry literally does nothing, gets about halfway then stops and Fred is actually acting as a mediator trying to get GTJ out of there lol

And keep in mind that the pandemic bench is not like the regular bench, where you are close to the court.
The decision is just horrible on applying a rule that does not penalize those who should, but instead, make it even more confusing.

The in game ejection was confusing as well.

I'm sorry, but FVV and Bembry should have known better. Like Inevitable said, no way the NBA let's this go and not suspend them. Someone could have been injured. Nightmare season continues. Can't wait for it to be all over. This team has lost their indentiy. Let's hope they find it for next season. A good draft pick and FA signings and we should be right back at it again.

Papa Flynn rejoices

[Ref_from_hell]

Notice how the game got out of hand when they put in the worst center in the NBA. How much longer do we have to subject to this piece of **** on the floor.

Silver's revenge? I'm suddenly not feeling confident about this lottery. What's next?

We should do the last five days of the season hard core BLM messaging. Exit on those like messaged buses and drive them through Columbia SC and Atlanta flying Antifa flags. Then fly home to the promised land.

[OAKLEY_2]

Oh and make an Open Gym about it. Some things more important than asterisk seasons.

[Mister Ze]

Only 1 game?

-tWo

[WaltFrazier]

I hope more tankers chime in with variations on the identical joke, hey they should suspend our guys even more. That clever intellectual wit never gets old. So original

[WaltFrazier]

He serves the suspension once he’s physically cleared

So can the team clear him one game earlier than he's really ready?


Meanwhile Schroeder who provoked the whole thing gets nothing.

Schroeder gave a hard, normal, "wrap-up" foul... what does he deserve? He reacted how anyone who got a side slam would have reacted.

I do agree, that it looked worse than it seemed and I don't believe OG had any intent on his part. It looked like OG had one leg, and Schroeder lost his other/balance resulting in falling back.

See, Schroeder ejected tonight. must prove i was right about what an instigator he is.

Yesterday Beverly and both Morris brothers ejected. Tonight Kyrie and Schroeder.

Watching the broadcast of the Clippers-Suns, Reggie Miller was saying it might be a flagrant-1, like either that or a common. Neither he or Kevin Harlan remotely thought it would be a 2, until it was ruled that. I think once they eject OG so easily, so lightly, now they have to eject for anything the same or worse.
