Preferential treatment to the team that will make jews the most money
>refs retroactively assess a flagrant 2 foul
>a flagrant 2 gets you removed from a game
>choose not to suspend donkey lips despite admitting what he did is deserving of being removed from a game
>>67808120
Well, there's your answer.
I guess.
HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR SPORT SENPAI
>>67808141
Honestly, the way he played, bouncing him would have helped the warriors
he got fined 25k? how is that not suitable punishment.
>hurr lets jeopardize the competitive integrity of the conference finals by suspending a key player
ya no thats retarded
>>67808296
Because that's a slap on the wrist?
Because plenty of players have gotten suspended for less?
Because people are expected to own up to your actions?
>>67808296
>flagrant 2 always gets you ejected from a game
>if the call was missed, 1 game suspension
>player was called for a flagrant 2
>prior precedent to suspend him for 1 game
>don't
>>67808205
he was so awful he might as well have been wearing a Thunder jersey, if he gets ejected and Speights takes his place the Warriors have a small chance to win that game.

Magnitude bias.
$25k is $25k, Draymond's salary has nothing to do with it. You can't prorate a fine based on how much someone is paid. If you make $100,000 would you think it's fair that you pay $1000 for a parking ticket while a guy making $30,000 pays only $300?
>>67809148
That's how fucking taxes work. You think it would be fair if a guy making 10k a year got charged a 1k in taxes and a guy making 100k got charged 1k?
>>67809148
Forget the money. He should be suspended a game. It was clearly intentional.
>>67809148
>you can't prorate a fine based on how much someone is paid
Are you mentally retarded? You can absolutely do this.
>fair
Oh, you actually are retarded. Let me explain what a deterrent is in a way you can understand. If we don't want Mr. Greeny to hit other people in the weewee, and he won't respond to I messages, then we need to send Mr. Greeny to the timeout chair, because many others learn not to hit others weewees after 5 minutes in the corner. But what if Mr. Greeny doesn't care that he is in the chair for 5 minutes!!! Now the entire point we are trying to deliver is LOST. You see, everyone is going to need a certain amount of time in the naughty chair before it becomes impactful enough to deter them! A certain amount of time may deter one person, but not another creating the need for person to person adjustments!
>>67808296
Because they made up a new rule: the fine for a flagrant 2 instead of a suspension. This series would be over in 6 if they followed the written rules. Can't have your 73-9 team that sells the most jerseys lose in the conference finals
>>67808120
It's really embarrassing. JVG pointed out how this is going to haunt the league, because it shows that they give preferential treatment, and the rules aren't equal for some. It's going to piss off the players, and it definitely pisses off the fans. Un-Fucking-American.
>>67808141
>>67808205
Doesn't matter, They are trying to make as much money as possible. It's just sad that it makes basketball look as competitive as the WWE
>>67808296
>hurr lets jeopardize the competitive integrity of the conference finals by suspending a key player
a really good way to do that is to not apply a rule and precedent that players who do this exact thing receive this specific punishment, that is unless it's a star player in a playoff game.
>>67808296
So a Superstar or player that's important can just do whatever they want and the rules don't apply to them?
Do you read the shit you spout?
>>67812828
But that's how pro sports works. I'm sorry you were indoctrinated with the lie of "fairness" throughout your childhood, I truly am.
>>67808296
draymond probably makes that much money or more from playing a single game
>>67809148
this is LITERALLY how fines work in Finland. Highest kek. 25k is 0.17% of his salary this year. What a joke
You pussies are no better than leddit cryin over this shit
>>67812855
Holy shit you are fucking edgy
DREMON WUZ AH GUD BOI HEE DINDU NUFFIN
>>67809148
>being this cucked by the capitalist whore
>JVG blasting NBA for 10 minutes straight during a live game
lmao
>>67813032
you clearly know nothing about sports
>>67812697
Then explain Stoudemire in 2007
>>67813032
>edgy
>not brutally honest
He's going to cause more problem for the Warriors then if he had gotten the suspension. Refs are going to be all over him in game 4.
it's good he wasn't suspended it takes away an excuse if they lose
>>67813338
Green always gets away with murder and he always will, this is just further evidence of it. He should have gotten a flagrant 1 in game 2 for his first shot to Adam's groin but because of who he plays for and who he is they tried to pretend it never happened, not even an offensive foul.
>>67813058
JVG has always been based.
The entire NBA is carrying the Thunder to the finals. What more do you want.
>>67808055
How the hell does Dahntay Jones get suspended for 1 game while Draymond Green gets off with a slap on the wrist for the same shit? Hell, Green's was arguably worse.
>>67809148
That's what taxes are, a percentage of your salary. Stupid fucking commie.
the Thunder are gonna win anyways
>>67810688
holy shit autism
