Adam Silver suspends Jabari Smith, trying to help Lakers/Warriors playoff chances

My guess is that it was for incidental contact with officials.

 

It's because Jabari swung. Even if it hit air that's a 1 game suspension.

 

So I thought the rules were if any player runs off the bench, they’re suspended or ejected because Colin sexton clearly runs off the bench and then back off the court once he realized his wrong

 

We've got space pants.

 

I'm fine with the JSJ suspension. Though, I think if that is one game....the biggest violations should be much more honerous than they are.

 

This is ridiculous! First Dillon gets ejected and now this. Any player in the league is going to have some kind of reaction to those two situations but neither reaction warranted the punishment. Dillon standing up for his teammate and took an elbow to the chin in the process.Technical, move on. Not ejection worthy. Jabari reacting to a guy who took a swing at him. Again, nothing much. Disqualify him for the rest of the game if you must but definitely not worth a suspension for the following game.

 

Commish be on some bullshit.

 

Nah, you can see him pushing away the officials with a great deal of force. This was the clincher, imo.

 

love Ime

 

Jabari's too young to realize his mistakes immediately. He should learn how to play the "game". He should ask for Brooks' training.

 

He also sent league enforcer Scott Foster to work the game. Of course, the Rockets are losing.

 

hmmmmmm. Maybe Silver wants California focused on Clippers Sacramento and LA. Bay market isn't going anywhere.

 

He is right!

 

I saw that live and thought he was a goner for sure…

 

Will Jabari accept his new role coming off the bench?

 

It is a fortune in disguise for Jabari. He gets to rest and he learned a lesson. It's about killing without anybody knowing is a better revenge.

 

And we won anyway.

It's what makes the NBA hard to watch for me. I quit watching Playoffs after our last run at it, and We never stood a chance playing the NBA's Golden Teams, but I tried to believe it would change. I don't think it ever will. You have Golden Boys LeBron and Curry who rarely get fouls called on them, but they can't be touched without drawing fouls. It's so blatantly biased it's hard to watch for me.

Green plays so dirty it's sickening, and as you said, he should get suspended way more than he does. The reason he got away with it for years is because he's on one of Cali's Golden Boys teams. It's all about money for the NBA, and their favoritism ruins it for me more times than not. The NBA and refs can easily decide which outcome they want, and don't even hesitate to do it. All it takes is ignoring fouls, calling every tiny infraction, getting starters in foul trouble early, fouling them out, throw out a technical or two, and ejection, a suspension, and so on. It's a game where the score can easily go back and forth every 30 seconds, and refs can change the outcome with 2 seconds on the clock.

 

I would have cared if he was suspended for the OKC game. Getting suspended for the Blazers game meant nothing lol. Though that first half kinda scared me.
