I can't even count on 2 hands how many times i unintentionally swug my arm in a backhanded motion with force behind me and accidentally knocked the crap out of an unsuspecting person. It happens so often, get over this non-thing guys

De facto GM and HC LeBron James?

LeBron is actually a great coach it seems like, but yea maybe not a good person to listen to for GM decisions.

he should take Shabazz Napier with him to the Cavs, dude loves him so much

If JR isn't banned from the NBA I will boycott the league. We can't let our children think this is appropriate behavior.

well let's just charge him with a felony and put him on trial, for goodness sakes.

he should get one game. he already missed the majority of yesterday's game.

for a punch in the face? Naw, Udonis Haslem got a one game suspension just for throwing his mouth guard on the floor, you telling me that a punch in the face deserves just one game?

dont be crazy.

 

[Into]

Artest got 7 games i believe for elbowing Harden

And JR is a repeat offender, he should get multiple games but wont, he will get a game, at best.

NBA is not gonna handicap Cavs with a 5+ game suspension of JR, in addition to Love being out. Its just not gonna happen. Cavs Bulls is the biggest ratings series you can get out of the east at this point.

 

[Uno Venova]

If this was the regular season JR should get 5 games, he still should now, but their not handicapping Lebrons team, I expect 2 games at the most.

 

[Blablurn]

Leave Cleveland alone

 

[bionic77]

That will be hilarious if Smith gets less than 5 games.

Dude should not be allowed to play until next year. He showed no remorse for clocking another guy in a blowout his team was winning.

Absolutely absurd.

A repeat offender who never learns gets a slap on the wrist for knocking a guy out???

Use your head.

He does this out on the streets, he gets arrested.

In fact, he's lucky he has the protection of the court, this guy would never last doing this out there.

I would support that. Classic example of assault.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Olynyk is getting accused of being dirty when he was just scrapping for a loose ball. Those two had been going at it a while, but I saw no malice in it. OTOH, JR's move was Artest bad and Perkins pulled a bitch move. Both on Crowder too. This Cavs team is really gonna be treated with kid gloves? SMH. PEACE.

Use your head, he's on Lebron's team. This league is a joke when it comes to refs and rules. With Love out for 2-3 weeks I doubt Cavs can beat the Bulls.

Actually I would rate that Perkins bitch move above JR's. He threw a punch at the guy.

I know all this shit, I was responding to a guy that stupidly said he SHOULD get one game, not that he WILL get one game.

 

[Tom Penny]

JR turned into a new man in Cleveland and now he's getting slandered for boxing out for a rebound.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I know you're joking but all he had to do is turn around and get into Crowder's face and maybe exchange a shove.

Then he'd get a maximum of one game suspension and maybe even nothing at all.

I know it's the playoffs and the LeBron/Cavs/Refs angle but I seriousy think they will give him at least 3 games.

He should be banned from the league just for being a moron.

 

[reggieandTFE]

You're about the only person on the planet if you think JR's swing was unintentional.

Seriously.

If he was a hockey player, he would be suspended for the rest of the playoffs for an act and with a resume like that.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Barkley said during the postgame show a minimum of five games would be warranted, but believes the league should consider 10. O'Neal and Smith both said five was the proper number.

"What Kendrick Perkins and J.R. Smith did was bush league," Barkley said. "You can't just go around hitting people in the face. It was like watching a boxing match. Your knee doesn't collapse like that."

Earlier in the day on NBA TV's postgame coverage, former NBA player Rick Fox gave his opinion, saying a one-game suspension should be enough.

"There are ways to be physical and tough without throwing a punch," Fox said.

I love how everyone's been shit talking Love all season saying he's garbage, and now saying the Cavs can't beat the Bulls without him.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I love how everyone's been shit talking Love all season saying he's garbage, and now saying the Cavs can't beat the Bulls without him.

Well for me personally, Jr. Smith not being available for the Bulls series is the bigger blow.

But I only say that because of how terrible the Cavaliers and their bad coach is using Love.

If they used him the right way, Love is obviously a WAY better player than one dimensional Smith.

I still think it's going to be a really tough series for the Bulls even without Love(they still have LeBron and the dangerous Kyrie).

If both are going to miss the potential Bulls series, it's a big blow but I still wouldn't count out the Cavs.

I'm not that dumb.

 

[reggieandTFE]

I love how everyone's been shit talking Love all season saying he's garbage, and now saying the Cavs can't beat the Bulls without him.

Tristan Thompson has been significantly better than Love against the Bulls this year; he has absolutely dominated Gasol, Noah and Gibson on the glass.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Tristan Thompson has been significantly better than Love against the Bulls this year; he has absolutely dominated Gasol, Noah and Gibson on the glass.

I am convinced the Bulls are mentally intimidated by him.

No offense to Thompson, he's a hell of a role player and presence on the boards but no fucking way he should be getting every offensive rebound like he seems to against Noah and Gasol.

This might be larger list than Metta World Peace conflicts. I think we missing the Knicks conflict when he was with the Nuggets.

 

[alr1ght]

Sure he rebounds better than Love, but Love is essential to the spacing of their offense. Now that JR is out they'll have to depend on Shumpert to hit threes.

 

[Uno Venova]

Wow if that attempt at Thabo actually connected.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Wow if that attempt at Thabo actually connected.

That's one thing I never got about sports.

If a player swings and misses, it's not that bad.

If a player hits a guy and he doesn't get hurt, it's not that bad.

The intent is all the same.

I don't mean it's not that bad, I just meant that Thabo would have missed a lot of games if it hit.

No, man, I didn't direct that at you.

It just made me think of how penalties differ if someone actually gets hurt or if a punch lands.

To me, if you undercut someone and he doesn't get seriously hurt, it's just as bad as if he does because the intent was the same and he COULD have.

Same with punches landing versus not landing.

Your post was fine and I didn't get that from your comments.

Agreed there, I would actually like to see all of the penalties/fines he got with all those dirty plays he's had.

I love how everyone's been shit talking Love all season saying he's garbage, and now saying the Cavs can't beat the Bulls without him.

my favorite thing is "they've been using him wrong!" all season long without any detailed basis, as if his 3 attempts weren't already trending dramatically higher in minnesota, and as if bosh didn't have similar issues in year 1

 

[Tom Penny]

Cavs won't recover from the loss of Love's post play and defense.

As a bulls fan I wanted Kevin Love guarding Mirotic and Gibson vs tristan Thomas :/

But having seen the Bulls play the heat a lot, a jump shooting power forward has been the the Bulls weakness. Bosh always killed them!

Not sure what to think.

I don't want to hear any Cavs fans bitch if they play the Bulls considering the Bulls injuries last 3 years.

Now that Love is out, the Bulls should leave Tristan Thompson completely and double Kyrie.

Yeah, but who's going to hit the offensive glass???

It won't matter, Kyrie can't shoot over both Noah and Gasol.

Dr Schickendantz.

wtf what a name.

Love done for playoffs. Oh well, Kyrie and LeBron could certainly take the title. Will be harder though.
