    True, by the letter of the law he should be suspended cause even though it was more of a push, he did have a closed fist. The problem I have with people thinking of NBA players ad fighting thugs is because what happens in baseball. Those guys fight if someone looks at them the wrong way, throw inside pitch, or show boat. They have little to no contact and in baseball, but seems to fight but people expect a body to body contact sport like the NBA to control their emotions, smh. Lets not get on hockey.

    The white Perkins strikes again. Steven Adams is one of the most infuriating rookies the NBA has seen in quite some time. I've lost count of how many shots he's baited other players into taking at him.

    NBA is rigged. They need OKC to advance. Dumb move on zBo though.

    Agreed. 10 years ago Stern began a manchurian-like brainwashing of a kidnapped prisoner that went by the name of zbo. Now a decade later he enacted his plot from the shadows of retirement.

    Finally the devious rigging came into fruition when he instructed his agent code name Funaki into uttering the words, "The curry is extra spicy in Norway."

    Upon hearing this phrase, the months of mental brainwashing took hold and forced zbo to punch Stern's agent Funaki.



    But seriously, look at the gif. Tell me Adam's facial skin moves like that because he is a skilled actor, and not because he was just clocked in the face with a closed fist.

    That's cool what the fans do for the Thunder; standing until the Thunder score their first bucket

    I really like Durant, but I don't want OKC to win...why?

    In my mind I have a belief that if OKC loses and Westbrook goes Westbricking, Durant might want out & find his way to Houston.

    Gasol and Allen with 3 fouls before the half. No ZBo. Conley and Allen playing injured.

    If OKC doesn't win this game...

    The nba ain't satisfied with taking cathlathes and randolph out, they want tony, gasol, lee and mike out as well.

    basically the officials and the entire nba are painting the grizzlies into a corner.

    one-sided officiating
