Who is your champion?
That part.
Yup he did that Kevin Garnett shit
Heās an all-star and his team is #1 in the East. Thatās a very bad trade-off. He was getting baited by Diabate and retaliated but caught himself before going too far.
The first three seem fair but no idea why Duren got less than Bridges and Diabate.
Nah man. Diabate instigated that 100%, I think Duren's reaction was mostly justified (though I understand why he got suspended for it). Duren not fighting Diabate was just a far better player for a far better team understanding that he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by further engaging with Diabate.
All Duren did was push Diabate out of his face after Diabate provoked him. I understand why he got a suspension - you don't put your hands on another guy's face - but Bridges and Diabate were actually trying to start a fight. Duren not obliging them is the only reason we aren't talking about people being suspended double-digit games or more.
Agree.... Duran was the first person to put his hands on an opponent with his face shove on Moussa.
Yeah. I get rodo's point, too, but it wouldn't have escalated had Duren not done the face shove. I think a fairer result may have been Stewart and Diabate with 7 each and Duran and Bridges with 4 each. Diabate really was out of control.
Moussa was definitely out of control but coming off the bench crosses a huge line they just can't allow. That suspension must be more than the players on the floor.
How have you been, Mr Bickerstaff?
Looks decent to me. Maybe a little light for everyone outside of Duren. Had Diabate not gone berserk, Iām guessing Duren wouldāve got one game not two, and that wouldāve been it. The minimum suspension for throwing a punch is one game, whether or not it connects. Durenās face-push could not be considered a punch, but possibly wouldāve received one game even though it wasnāt a punch. NOT two.
Nonsense. The incident didn't start with Moussa's foul of Duren. After the previous Detroit basket, Duren hit Moussa with a hard forearm shiver to the chest. There was a lot of shit talk between the two. It turns out their "relationship" goes back to high school when Duren was at Mont Verde Academy and Moussa was at IMG. Duren deserved the same penalty as Moussa. By no means was Duren a victim in this incident.
Made me think of Charlie Murphy and smiled...
The NBA is looking at the immediate context of the incident. Sorry but theyāre not going back to hearsay about who did what to whom in HS, thatās ridiculous. Both guys were responsible for a heated tension. But in the incident at hand, the facts are that Duren did not throw a punch until he was charged, by two separate guys. He pushed a guy in the face. For that, by the book, he maybe gets one game. Not two.
