that really was insane. also just in general the crowd was practically standing on the court the whole time after the initial running onto the court incident. could you imagine that today? also, being able to advance with a timeout you don't have is a dumb rule. they basically made the penalty of a technical into a tradeoff instead of a penalty. they also said the celtics went to the lockerroom and were out of their shoes like they thought the game was over. that seemed really stupid to me. there were clearly seconds left when they made the shot and the refs were clearly trying to signal the game wasn't over. did literally no one on the celtics have a brain to be able to communicate "hey, they said the game wasn't over" while they were running to/already in the lockerroom and getting out of their gear? it's not like the refs walked off the court. it's like they were just hoping everyone would go along with their idea that the game was over. and speaking of people on the court, it happened in the '88 finals. the lakers got a breakaway dunk against the press to put the pistons down only 3 with 2 seconds left and players and some cameramen just strolled onto the court as the pistons were inbounding it to isiah to try to tie the game. and magic may or may not have tackled isiah on the inbounds, although it would have only been two free throws.
I still have 10+ pages to catch up on, but why are you still here? If I recall correctly, you said you were done with the NBA at least a week ago.

You are a pretty sick person. It's just a game. Curry didn't do anything to warrant any violence against him. Why not take it out on Draymond Green.:grin:
They are definitely going to suspend him because it serves them to do it: First, if gives the cavs a chance to make a series of this (ratings) without the threat of their darling actually losing the series. Secondly, the can say: see we aren't protecting draymond. The nba is a joke.
Ty Lue fined $25K for his postgame comments; LeBron assessed a technical foul; Green assessed a flagrant 1 & suspended for game 5. Spoiler
warriorsworld @warriorsworld NBA rules prohibit Draymond Green from being at Oracle for Game 5. 11:23 AM - 12 Jun 2016
So what happens if the Warriors win? He can't celebrate with his teammates even after the final buzzer? Has that ever happened before in the NBA Finals?
