i'm quite disgusted with the NBA refs tonight turning a blind eye to westbrook's actions.

Cool, you still want to cry and whine more so a player gets suspended over a dumb rule? Nothing happened. Everyone was fine. Stop crying.

But something did happen though. Westbrook didn’t just wander onto the court for no apparent reason....he went to talk **** and put hands on gobert and he accomplished both. What if him coming into the court with those intentions causes gobert or someone else to throw a punch and that person gets suspended? The rule exists for a reason. To prevent guys on he sideline from coming into the game and provoking/instigating more trouble.

It'd be different if there was some huge fight going on, or anything like that. It was barely anything.

It has nothing to do with who it's being applied to. IT HAS TO DO WITH WHEN. It's the playoffs. They arent suspending anyone for this.

Maybe Russ was hoping his “barely anything” would be the beginning of a huge fight but gobert didn’t take the bait.
 
Agree with Cy. The rule is designed to stop players from running into a fight from the bench. I wonder if a Jazz player like Ingles or Gobert had been the offender if the letter of the law posters would be insisting the Jazz player be suspended for a game.

In a league where popular players get special treatment, the Jazz are always going to get boned. This was ENTIRELY special treatment. Wastebrook left the bench (not checked in=bench, dillweed) in order to CAUSE problems. That isn't a technicality, it is EXACTLY why the rule was made.

Jazz better be 30 points better tomorrow, because the fix is in. If it results in an injury or a Jazz suspension during the Houston series, Cy can talk about "whining" then.

If any Jazz player left the bench, it would have been a suspension.

Fix the rule or enforce it fairly.

CJ McCollum got suspended for going to his teammate... Russ was headed in to be a fake tough guy... if Gobert goes back at him there it escalates...


It violates the spirit and letter of the law... just eliminate the rule but don’t decide arbitrarily that a player checked himself in and didn’t violate the rule.

This is a symptom of a broader problem... “stars” get better treatment on the court and it’s garbage...

Dog, Gobert gets special treatment every game.

Ummmmm okay. Like when he got a T for getting his bits slapped or when guys put they elbows in his chest and he gets whistled for a foul.
