I Like D.Green of Warriors
However What the Bo-Diddley is taking so long ? What's going on here ? Quoting late D_ic Young sportswriter of NY Daily news
OH The GS Warriors is the 'new' Chi-Bulls. I like GS BUT I'm 150% Knick fan for live

However since we talk NBA Knicks of our beloved current Knicks
our past Ewing Knicks got 6 SIX ...SSSIIIXX of our Knicks canned 1 game suspension
For lame rule of leaving bench few feet to check on teammates Or make sure his teammates are safe at least

KNICKs 6 players suspension vs NBA HEAT nba playoffs
http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/knicks-cuts-ewing-6-suspended-nba-heated-brawl-article-1.768311

Yes it was under the David 'Mike Jordan lover' Sterns era.

However I don't recall Ewing our superstar KNICK of that era 90's punching
also neither kicking OR any physicality toward the Hated HEAT in key NBA playoffs series.

But we know the guy Green isn't getting suspended.

Tells us how KNICKS org. get kicked down in NBA
without even being in these playoffs..

Believe you me if Knicks had a player Whom kicked a peers 'nutts'
inadvertantly OR intentionally,

KNICKS player would get a Suspension not any fine (Rich NBA players can afford it)
You can write that !
The name can be Pat Ewing, can be Earl Or Clyde (he won't do it anyway)
it can be Carmello Anthony.

Any Knick done that would get canned 1 game
period...

I lost a lot of respect for Silver for this.

Don't agree with this at all- how is it fair to have special rules for popular teams because they are popular?

Agree w this 100%

As it is the league suffers when it seems some players get the foul calls that others don't. We all recall that game this year when the ref called a foul bc wade gave that look

This just shows the star bias is institutionalized. I lost whatever respect I had for silver.

We lose respect when we don't agree with a decision? No wonder we have our politicians as we do.
This is how Trump is winning. Lots of Republicans agree with him, but they don't respect him. They vote along the party line.
I respect Adam Silvers leadership even if I don't agree with this decision.

The law is the law... or there is no low.

these arent laws...these are basketball rules. meaning its not that deep. theyre left up to interpretation

this decision was unprincipled. They gave Dahntay jones a game suspension for what seemed like a lesser infraction; they provided absolutely no explanation about why this gets bumped to flagrant 2 (meaning the refs missed it) but no suspension in this case but one for Jones.

Silver is not good; i thought he was a clown with his subtle dig at the triangle (he's not there to be a celebrity, comedian, or analyst. He, like Stern before him, should just clam up)

this just confirms things. Institutionalized star treatment

This. It will be interesting to see if the Thunder take a police thing yourselves approach. Have to think Green is getting an extra bump, shove, kick etc. every time they have a chance and if he reacts he gets the suspension he deserves. I thought JVG (the league calls too many flagrants guy) said it best when he said the only question to me was one game or two.

Green got away with one there but he is a Star and the broadcasters on the post game all said that it was unintentional which gave the NBA an out so they did not have to suspend a star and give OKC the series. As much as I think that Green did it intentionally, as a fan, I did not want to see him sit since it will tarnish a potentially great series.

There is a "fix" and there is politics. This was a political issue and the NBA had a tough decision. I am happy that he is playing though he got a gift.

I really like JVG. I tend to think he goes overboard on wanting things not called. I think it said a lot when he said he thought the debate was one game or two. I have seen a lot of photos and videos from different angles. None made me question whether it was unintentional. Also, the Jones foul did not come close to what Green did. I thought Adams would be pissing blood for awhile.

I love JVG and he is usually spot on. He was right about the intention and if you asked him, he would have predicted that he gets away with it.

He said during the broadcast that the thought he would get a game or two.

should or would?
