The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Agreed. Weird that knocked him out.

A punch in the back of the neck is extremely dangerous, particularly when unaware of the incoming punch. No need to be super solid hit

Pretty reckless when you consider Hayes was just shoved into the sideline
This. We had a guy at a warehouse once who got hit on the back of the head with a box that fell from a couple levels above in the pallet racking and ended up with permanent paralysis. The video didn't even look that bad. But he was out cold and had mild paralysis in his upper extremities. Insanely dangerous to hit someone there. That needs to be dealt with severely.
 
Should be permanent ejection from the NBA imo. Hitting someone 1) from behind and 2) in a spot on the head that could cause permanent damage. He needs a permanent suspension imo.
The thing is he isn't a professional fighter and I doubt he had any idea what he did when he did it. I do think it should have been at least 5 games just for a general sucker punch, but permanent would have been wild
 
His temple hit Stewart’s shoulder square on before the hit from Hayes.
That was the craziest thing about it. He clearly looked like he was out from hitting Stewart. It must have just been in a strange spot because it didn't look like a hard hit.

I agree. It looked more reactionary than trying to intentionally do damage. It certainly shouldn't be acceptable but I don't think he was trying to permanently injure him. That being said, the penalty should be greater to make everyone think twice before getting mixed up in the scuffle.
 
Look... Wagner is a professional antagonist. It would have been catastrophic if something bad happened at the level yall say it can... but that stuff could happen with a stray elbow too. If you are going to go out every night and cheap shot guys... like he did with Hayes.... sometimes dudes will try to knock you the **** out. Its the whole **** around and find out.

Hip checking a guy into the crowd endangers the player and the folks in first row... not condoning an elbow to the back of the head but I am not sure Killian was after that... he just wanted a piece of Wagner. Anytime these dudes are throwing hands, elbows, etc. its dangerous cuz they huge and strong. 3-5 games is fine for his role... can't have guys out there just cheap shotting guys every damn night. Remember what one cheap shot did to AB's career? The Draymond punch was way more dangerous than what Hayes did imo.
 
Its amazing how much they are missing Booker. Funny they are struggling mind lol, just saying.
CP looks cooked... without Booker they have no engine. Book is out basically this whole month and their schedule is brutal. Like they could go like 3-12... I'd set the over under at like 5-10. They need help like yesterday.
