    Stupid, stupid, stupid.

    Stupid decision by Randolph to punch Steven Adams in his stupid face, followed by a stupid decision from the league office.

    He deserves to be suspended.


    A guy that size can hurt you for life with a direct shot to the face like that.


    Thug move...

    adams is real man.

    none of that fake bravado with puffed chests and swinging handbags that's all too common in the nba.

    He doesn't deserve to be suspended, but rules are rules.

    Is this a joke? Adams has been notorious for this crap and he has only been in the league one year

    No, I didn't. It's not Steven Adams' fault that Z-Bo punched him. If Adams' got under his skin, that's Z-Bo's fault. The league has always had players that irritate others and cause them to react excessively - Dennis Rodman comes to mind. But the excessive reaction is on the player committing it.

    Did I ever say anything about whose fault it was or if ZBo's reaction was justified? No. My point was that Adams has been doing this kind of crap since he got in the league (if you watch enough NBA games, or conveniently, just refer to the thread someone else posted with all those clips of Adams' altercations, then you'd know what I'm talking about).

    dumbass move by Randolph, but no way this warrants a suspension.
