    It’s right there clear as day. Diaw and Stoudemire got suspended for the same thing and missed a playoff game!

    Wow. I missed that. Good catch. Yeah he broke the letter of the law that should be a suspension.

    I’d rather beat them WITH AD. I want to see where this team truly is. Want to see what adjustments we’ve made after that first *** whooping.

    Can you imagine the embarrassment if AD gets banned next game, and we still lose?

    I'd also like to see balanced officiating. It is what it is.
    The rules are the rules and according to the rules AD should get a one game suspension.

    I want to bide more time and rack up some cheap wins.

    We need lots and lots of practice. Not quite organized enough to compete with the Lakers right now.

    You are right but we all already know.

    Morris being suspended for the next game is a no brainer though right? I mean what in the hell is he doing to Tate in the first place? THAT ALONE was an egregious, stupid and ejectable offense. Then he got up and ran/pushed whatever term you want to give that action Cousins. THAT ALONE was an ejectable offense. He is pushing, flailing arms, handling the referees which alone is an ejectable offense. After all that he acted like he deserved an explanation with Lebron present about why he's getting ejected.

    He made Cousins look calm. I don't care about Davis knowing when a big body might be needed. I do care about Morris starting fights with 2 different Rockets for nothing. 1 game is fair, especially considering the situation of the Lakers/Rockets scheduling. Morris does not deserve to play "game 2". No freaking way.

    Lebron spends the entire game coaching the referees. Last night, even halftime. He's always over there with his giant mouth flapping to keep the refs under his wing. It's insane to watch, there's not really an equivalent in other major sports.

    Everyone loves to hate Harden for the officiating, and I won't defend Harden on that point; the refs listen to the star players too much (Lebron trumps all) and the uneven officiating makes the NBA confusing and infuriating to watch as a fan. Ryan Bowen, Kostas Papanikolaou and Lebron James should get the same techs and the same fouls. But this has been going on since Sacramento-LA 2002 when the NBA decided not to hide it anymore. They don't always outright dictate games but they often try to (choose your analogy) push a couple rocks down a hill in hopes that it will start an avalanche, or throw a couple sparks to see if it will start a fire.

    Why would LeBron suspend his own teammate?

    Hate to say it,
    but it is wht it is, it's GSW & LAL's league…the commissioners always feel the golden eggs' fart smell so good, never even try to hide it.

    LeBron James runs the League.

    I don't watch games anymore because of LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green getting away with dirty plays and referees letting our players get injured.

    The League is Corrupt, Adam Silver is just a Name just a useless Commissioner.

    Very Happy the NBA Lost China Money.
