The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

[Gameface]

Yeah LeBron needs to be suspended for that.

What did they give Malone for doing Thomas? That seems like a good penalty here, especially considering how much more peaceful the league is supposed to be. Wasn't it like 4 games?

I think if I recall it was only one game. But memory is slipping with age.

One game, if I remember correctly. I was at that game. About 15 rows up behind the Jazz bench. Perfect view of the hit. I most remember Darrell Walker going crazy.

Looked it up. 1 game without pay and $10,000.

Wow.

That’s legit a multiple-game suspension, imo. 2 or 3, at least. And it has a 0% chance of happening cuz it’s LeBron.

I'm under the same assumption as most everyone else that LeBron walks away with very minor repercussions. It will be interesting to see what Stewart gets. Maybe they go easy due to the fact LeBron gets away with the punch.

I cannot see that clearly in those videos but wasn't it an elbow? I didn't see him use his fist, I see him throwing an elbow like he is trying to clear space and catching the guy in the face with it. In looking I can see how the league will call it incidental but excessive contact and fine him $15k or something with no other repercussions, if even that.


Edit: I went and watched a couple of angles on youtube. It is definitely an elbow, and directly after LeBron holds out his hand and walks toward Stewart as if to see if he is ok. Nothing menacing in LeBron's approach. No matter the damage, the diva will get nothing out of this.

 

[LogGrad98]

I found a different angle that shows that it was absolutely not intentional. This should fully exonerate LBJ.

Stern would cackle as he dropped a 5 game suspension on his ***. He’d have loved doing it.

I’m guessing Stewart gets at least a game. The way he kinda bull rushed and ran through dudes puts security in harms way.

Flagrant foul on Stewart for making unnecessary contact to LeBron’s elbow with his face.

The league will suspend Joe Ingles for a game for Lebron throwing a punch.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

The best part is Lebron wanted no part of it. Nowhere to be seen… anyone check his pants? May have had a Paul pierce moment.

This Stewart guy is a badass and exactly what we need. Him and Dunn.

Yeah but he ain’t available. Promising second year dude. I been saying a while… we need an *******.

 

[LogGrad98]

Oh.
