pmoehrin Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I cannot for the life of me believe that Rajon Rondo said in post-game interviews that he "accidently bumped" the ref, and that Doc Rivers defended that claim. Rondo bumped the ref twice, and the second time was blatantly intentional. There probably was little to no harm intended but you just can't touch an official and Rondo clearly was the aggressor in that incident and he's probably looking at a one game suspension at minimum. I would hope that's all he gets because I just think he got too emotional and he did seem to be pretty quick to back down once he realized exactly what he did, so I wouldn't call it overly aggressive, but he still touched the official and that's a no no.

floydnimrod Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I love Rondo's excuse: "I thought he stopped." You thought he stopped? Wouldn't that mean you would stop too? and not chest bump an official?And this is coming from someone would like to see Boston win.As for the Grizzlies.............................I DVR'ed the second half and just watched it this morning. I don't know how they blew that lead, with the way they utterly dominated the first three quarters. Even though the comeback took place without him, I'm eager to see how the Caron Butler injury affects LA's defense of Rudy Gay. Big props to Reggie Evans though. 13 rebounds off the bench and a very clutch bucket late.

Saint Zephyr III Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Always knew the Grizzlies-Clippers matchup would be the most entertaining/memorable of the bunch. Hopefully it'll be able to equal the sheer intensity and joy of the Memphis-Oklahoma series last year.So with the first weekend out, we know the people who were supposed to win won and the people we weren't sure about didn't. Sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 First coaching casualty of the "offseason" and to shock of nobody its Paul Silas.http://www.usatoday....ilas/54645842/1Hard not to feel bad for the guy. Came into a next to impossible situation (Larry Brown couldn't even work with this crew) and then lost control of the team almost immediately at the start of this year. To make matters even sadder he really wanted to be in Charlotte. He went out of his way to make sure he was in line to get the job when it came up and I wouldn't be surprised if he never coaches in the NBA again either as an assistant or a head guy.

Jigga Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 One game is fair. He is a repeat offender, so I could have seen him getting two games, but it's all good.

TFoA Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 One game is fair. He is a repeat offender, so I could have seen him getting two games, but it's all good.Agreed. I was expecting 1 game, even 2 games would've been excessive, IMO. But yeah, the NBA basically just enforced the letter of the law here: Intentional contact with an official = vacation.

pmoehrin Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Barkley doesn't think the Knicks will win a game in the Miami series. Tend to agree with him.Also judging by the way game two is going in the OKC/Dallas series I could see this going the full seven. Dallas in an eight seed in name only and they're pretty much taking everything OKC has to throw at them and are still attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 These first two games in OKC have just been fantastic, close basketball affairs.Thunder pulled out Game 1 on a a lucky last second shot. Can they pull out another last minute comeback?UPDATE - Yes. And they lead 2-0 despite only having outscored Dallas by four points in the two games. Great basketball, hope it continues in Dallas.

Saint Zephyr III Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Carmelo's been nothing but kryptonite for the Knicks. Lin down, Shumpert down, Chandlers sick, Amare injures himself in the stupidest way possible. It's just bizarre; I guess he's doing okay with his 26 shots since he's now the only guy left in NYC to make a difference.A sweeps happening.

Amare cuts his hand, and now he can't play? Then there's Chris Paul whinning about cutting his lip after a victory.Wayne Simmonds got drilled in the face and kept playing and acted liked it was no big deal. NBA players need to man up.
