Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

No, I don't WANT him to be suspended, I want the NBA to be ****ing consistent.

You know what the real reason people think the NBA is rigged is? Because the refs are so damn inconsistent. People get suspended and not suspended for doing the exact same things. McRoberts throws a flying elbow to the best player in the league's head and just gets a fine, DeJuan Blair accidentally kicks Splitter in the head, gets ejected AND suspended for a game. Foul calls are never consistently called, its easily the biggest problem with the officiating.

The front office isn't consistent with dealing out punishment for things either. Its all a joke.

Rasual Butler was maybe a yard further out onto the court, you're telling me that extra yard is the difference between being suspended and not being suspended? That's a ****ing joke. You're either on the court or off the court.

Not often I do this.......but...

I just want the league to go 100% legit. Weed out all the 'johnny-come-lately' phony "fans" out there, and let it be for the REAL basketball fans. People who know the sport, play the sport, live and breathe the sport. Not the courtside hustlers we see and hear way too often.

Lol tell me you guys are being sarcastic? You really want George suspended for that ****? That rule is and has always been garbage. Only time it should ever be enforced to me is if a guy coming off the bench gets involved in the altercation, not someone who steps one foot onto the court.

I think PHX fans are upset that they aren't being consistent because of what happened to their team.

@SGT, I dont know what the bench area is, Im not sure it was ever defined for "us' to know.

Anyway, I didnt even think they'd make mention of it at all but then news outlets and the post game show last night and fans started picking it up.

I was with you until the Blair thing. Dude didn't accidentally kick him man, come on.

Not sure Blair even touched splitter but the 'kicking motion' toward Splitter's head was definately intentionnal.

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

I mean, can we at least wait for the decision first?

All this rig talk and they haven't even said anything yet...

and lol at "accidentally" kicking someone in the head

I remember the play, he touched him it was clear. You could see his head move. If somebody wants to say he wasn't going for his head but like his arm or something, that's cool, but trying to act like dude wasn't trying to kick SOMETHING when the video clearly shows him winding up one leg to kick. Come on

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

Blair got too excited and he deserved to be ejected... He was crazy though. 10 points 10 rebounds in 10 minutes... Could be wrong but I think he had 4 fouls too. He was everywhere.

I was gonna type something up but this sums up my thoughts completely. A lack of consistency is the biggest issue in the NBA that leads to people questioning the legitimacy of the league.

Do I want George suspended or do I think he should be suspended? No. But I didn't want Stoudemire or Diaw suspended either.

Nobody wants to see him suspended. But if you're gonna get Butler for a game for stepping on the court,then you have to get George as well. Either suspend everybody,or suspend no one. They need to look into changing this rule in the offseson regardless.

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

Ya'll still waiting on consistency from the NBA and it's Officials, eh? Ya'll have been waiting on this for years....when you gonna realize it's not going to happen?

Not even trying to sarcastic or anything but we got a better chance of surviving the Rapture then getting consistency from the Officials, especially in regards to the NBA.

Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

Why such poor attendance numbers for Brooklyn? Is it as simple as NY still being Knicks country, or fans being priced out? Only a spike of a few hundred tickets sold more than their regular season average. Are the Nets not as popular in Brooklyn like I thought?
