Dunleavy needs to be suspended

Fair enough. We will see who the NBA agrees with. If Dunleavy gets nothing...then they agree with me. If Dunleavy gets suspended, they agree with you.

Gave him a flagrant one -- I still TOTALLY disagree, and I wrote on NBA.com my reasons -- mainly because what Dunleavy did was not only more dangerous than a body block, but the fact that he used a closed fist indicated it was INTENTIONAL.

Body block does not equal tackle. Giannis tackled that guy.

I think you're a lot less likely to get injured with a tackle than a punch in the throat. They allow you to tackle someone in the NFL but not punch someone in the throat, and for good reason.
 
Can't believe they only gave that puke for the Bucks a 1 game suspension! What does a guy have to do to get a 5 game suspension in this league? Hit a guy with a baseball bat in the head? Jab a knife in his gut? Kick him in the head like a stomped on toad frog? That tackle was as vicious as I've ever seen! Who reviewed those tapes for the league office....
Stevie Wonder?

CJ, you're an old-timer. What would you do if someone punched you in the throat, or one of your teammates? Dunleavy did it three times. Tackling someone is not nearly as egregious as punching someone in the throat ... where is your sense of proportion?

....the physical contact under the boards or wherever it happened did not appear to be all that egregious....either to me or the powers that be, who make decisions on flagrant fouls! On the other hand, the Bucks guy deliberately and premeditatedly ran full speed with vicious intent to do bodily harm to Dunleavy! Dunleavy's foul was upgraded to a flagrant 1. I have no problem with that! But the decision to suspend the Buck clown for just 1 game, was almost as egregious as the foul itself....almost! Had it took place in Chicago, I don't think the kid would have been able to leave the court back to the locker room without a beer bottle thrown at his noggin! You realize in Chicago, you bring a knife, they bring a gun! You send one of there guys to the hospital.....they send one of your guys to the morgue!

CJ, the league set the bar for playoff discipline this season with Smith only getting a 2-game suspension.
