Should the league discipline Adams for his intentional dangerous play on Beverley?

Should they? Yes
Will they? No
Would they eject and then suspend someone for doing the same to Westbrick? Yes.

 

he'll be disciplined by getting swept

 

Which is a flop. I have more respect for a good hard pick that lays out one of my guys than a picker that intentionally sets himself so that contact will knock him off balance.

 

It's a borderline call and in the playoffs they let it go. I don't care as much now becuase that was the turning point of the whole game. It was a 2 point game after this. It sparked Beverly and the whole team to destroy them.

 

Adams didn't even look like a basketball player the rest of the game

 

Despite clear biases, the screen looked clean to me, and I'm glad Beverley (in particular) did not complain about it (given his reputation as a "hard-nosed" defender).

Adams doesn't have a reputation as a dirty player. I mainly remember him for getting kicked in the balls last year by Draymond Green, a true dirty player.

 

Hearing Reggie gush like that is making me angrily, and irrationally, see the pick as more illegal than it probably is.

 

Bev aint no b****, allow it, we'll counter.

 

it is illegal to lower your shoulder into a screen when you set it. I don't know how you guys even talk about this **** when you don't know the rules you cannot lower your shoulder because this is not ****ing football a shoulder to the head is dangerous especially with no helmets it can cause a concussion. whats wrong with you guys?

 

you cannot stick anything out. That includes your shoulder, elbows, arms, hips, legs, knees. Those are the rules

only reason you guys are like this is because we won. The fact is it still a dangerous play and a shoulder to someone's head without a helmet can concuss someone.

 

He didn't "Derek Fisher" it because Stephen Adams is twice Beverley's size.

If Adams had "Derek Fisher'd" it, Beverley would probably be in the hospital.

There's a difference between a hard screen and a dirty screen.

A hard screen you set your feet and center your weight properly to provide maximum legal leverage and resistance.

A dirty screen you initiate contact, likely to a vulnerable spot on a player (who probably can't defend himself).

That wasn't hard. It was dirty. Let's not normalize dirty play.

 

No, it was a hard basketball play, the fault is with Clint and not telling Pat her comes the screen. That is a big responsibility and allow Pat to get his elbows up and protect himself

 

if it was nene on westbrook, The media would be like it was a dirty play and uncalled for, The NBA would suspend nene and the refs would've called it a flagrant two

remember how overblown that Westbrook Beverly during the time out got overblown?
