If you saw the Hawks vs Celtics game lastnight then you saw the little dust up between Garnett and Pachulia that eventually led to technicals for those two and a couple of other players. During the little skirmish, Garnett pushed an official. The NBA rule according to a radio station, says that anytime a player intentionally makes contact with an official,it's an automatic 1 game suspension etc etc. You guys think that he will be suspended?

A 1 one game suspension is way to easy if he actually made contact with the official. To me, that's a season ending event, large fine, and if it ever happens again, see ya! They stop slapping the wrists of some of these criminals that play pro sports and maybe these types of things wouldn't happen as much.

I have not watched any NBA this year, but I think if a player makes contact with an official in any sport at any level there should be the toughest penalty possible. Like kble said season ending, large fine etc.... and if it this late in the season then carry it over to next year. If they make an example of a star like Garnett then that should send a msg to every other player. I think the new commish for the NFL is trying to do that with his punishments.

Whatever will make it look like they care about discipline, but in the long run make the most money off boys between the ages of 9-17.

He didn't initiate the contact with the ref. The ref grab him. The only thing KG did was push the ref away as he attempted to free himself. If you watch the clip it doesn't appear that KG even knew who was holding him at the time. I don't agree with what he did but based on the rule and the way it's written he should not be fined because he didn't initiate the contact.

I stopped watching the NBA along time ago. I do coach the highlights.
there seems to be a thug theme running through nba and some college. if you bump a guy, everyone has to puff up their small chests and get in the face of the other guy.
what happened to just playing the game, what ever game it is.
Trash talk in the nba.
The dancers in football. I always love the Db who does a dance after he tackled a guy and he acts like it was such a big deal or those who dance when they are losing.
IN baseball heaven forbid you throught a inside pitch. I remember back in the day, even in high school if you hit a home run the next guy was going to get at min. a burshbag. high and inside. Oh I forgot, you cannot pitch inside, especially at high school or college cause the fake bats they use will get them a jam single. Oh I wait for the day wood bats are used at all levels.
I guess it is the you tube society, hey, look at me.

I am not one to talk about grammar or spelling, but how do you "Coach" the highlights? ;D I love it you think about coaching so much it slips in everywhere. And yes I know you meant catch I just thought it was funny. |

Basketball is a trash talker paradise. Talk as much crap as you want to, because they only way to retaliate is to do what? Slap your wrist? Sure you can tackle a dude, but then your in the lockerroom. Football is the place of equalization. If you talk smack in a football game, and you go overboard, someone is bound to find you. The little WR who burns the LB for a TD and turns around a talks crap while sometime later be catching a dig route that sails hi, that he has to jump for, that hits his hands right when that LB's facemask matches up with his rib cage. I'm sick of Kobe talking crap after EVERYTHING. Seriously, EVERYTHING. I hate basketball. I'll watch baseball ONLY if I'm at the ball park. If not for football, I'd probably wouldn't be a sports fan. Does this have anything to do with this post, hell if I know or care! Time for me to go to bed............finals are hitting me like a ton a bricks..........but I'm waiting for them to cross the middle........on a ball that sails high.  |
