I need the logic

[J Shuttlesworth]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Len/Whiteside got Flagrant 2s and an ejection, which is essentially the same as what Harden got

They only missed a quarter and a half... Harden was out for a full 4 quarters. For a baby tap.. while these guys were wrassling into the stands.

Well the NBA's ruling is that it was a flagrant 2, which ends up being an ejection if it's not called properly in game. If the refs had called it a Flagrant 2 during the game, it would have been an ejection, but no suspension I believe.

because he gotta protect his queen in this chess game.

You come at the queen you best not miss :applause:

Cos you cant kick the King in the nuts on national TV

[ArbitraryWater]

How is that a "baby tap", exactly, ever get kicked in your balls?

And they were suspended.. I can assure you, if they would have suspended Harden like they should have (since they'd lose to Atlanta anyway, but now would have also lost that game), there wouldn't be a suspension.

You cant kick a man in the balls. Thats just...not acceptable. Eddy Curry did that years ago and I was ashamed to have been associated even though fanhood.

I wouldn't exactly call Lebron a man, but yeah you have a point.


Also Whiteside and Len got fined 30k, Harden didn't get fined to my knowledge(??). I'd take the suspension.

[Adam Silver]

Harden is lucky I only gave him a 1 game suspension. Do you no how many paying fans hang from LeBron's nuts? I can't let Harden kick them without penalty.

Spoken like the commish :applause: :bowdown: :applause:

[HEAT111]

So Wade deserves it because he did it to Sessions and you clowns are looking for an excuse for Harden......

[tpols]

Lettuce be reality.. if harden TACKLED lebron into the stand or vice versa there would be suspensions issued. But when some role players do it especially big men it's boys will be boys.

If harden and lebron go into an mma skirmish it would be top news and bring 'negative light' upon the league.. since this case is relatively un-spotlighted no one gives a fk
