Now had he aimed and closelined him like certain players on OUR team………

I apologize, that wasn’t my intention sir.

ha, I always want to call you "sir" like in some comedy movie there is a detective and a little old lady assistant and she always refers to him as "sir".
Anyway, don't worry; the next time Slypokerdog has one of his secret polls on whether you should be banned; I will again refuse to vote yes!

Oh he didn’t accidentally swing his arms wildly to get him off off him…..he accidentally hit that dude in the eye.

As a man with a temper, I recognize the pinpointed rage, but what you’re seeing is undoubtedly what the NBA will see.
 
THE HCP said:
Going to have to disagree Mr. River. I grew up playing sports like many here. In my many battles at the parks, I swung many times. I definitely needed to see where I was swinging to aim. Now I had guys hanging on me trying to get a rebound and would push and shove and swing to get them off me. There’s a difference. Bron should get popped for doing that but he wasn’t tying to hit him in the eye. Can’t tell me otherwise. You are wrong and I am right FAMS.

battles in the park aren't NBA games my friend and I"m sorry you got bullied at the park..
 
After watching the video... straight up screw LeBron, that was dirty as fuck. If you are going to take a swing at someone, do it like a man, standing face to face. Freaking pussy.

I don't think it matters where he meant to hit him. All that matters is that he did mean to hit him.

And you don't swing like that unless you intend to hit somebody. Regardless of the situation. Suspend please.

You know that that's different: CJ never does that except as an intentional foul. Call them dirty if you like, but he never does them in anger. LBJ wasn't fouling there, he was just having a snitfit.
 
We're arguably the worst "old" team (well after the Lakers, of course), while the Raptors are amazingly good for being so young:

I'm pretty sure even if Neil offered CJ + draft picks Morey wouldn't take it. CJ's a poor fit now that you have Curry and Maxey as two huge contributors. Hell, I rate CJ better than Jerami Grant, but he's a better fit for the Sixers than CJ, and we've heard what Morey thinks of him.

Raptors are good at identifying athletic wings in the 6'8" range who have basketball skills that can improve.

HOLY SHIT! So we don't even have the luxury of being the youngest team in the league anymore. Remember those days?

I don't see it as a big deal. He hit him, probably intentional, miss a couple of games, and it's over. Stewart should learn from his mistakes too, hopefully. You can't keep going back for more, this ain't the wwf/wwe/tnt, or whatever they call it now.

This is what I was thinking, as well:
Boxing: OK
MMA: OK
WWE: OK
Regular Wrestling: not OK
Football: not OK
Baseball: not OK
Hockey: not really OK
NBA: definitely not OK

This is not a "basketball move", period. He'll get a fine that'll amount to $5 in you and me money, missed 2 games, say he's sorry.

Man I just saw that Serge Ibaka is playing in the G league...Chief I don't think even has a contract since the Spurs waived him....there are a ton of players available for nothing these days.

Lebron James Slammed After Ejection For Cheap Shot Punch On Isaiah Stewart.



This is a great breakdown of the video.

I'm glad you think this bullshit is a "great breakdown". This dude is a total douche bag. This idiot claims that LeBron looks directly at Stewart before punching him in the face and then proceeds to show multiple angles of LeBron not looking directly at Stewart until after contact is made. This asshole doing the breakdown calls LeBron a "bitch" and a "bitch made athlete". Way to find an unbiased breakdown.

Put on your glasses. LeBron clearly looks at Stewart before he swings.
 


This is the silver lining in all of this bullshit... not Stewart's suspension but Woj using the term "roughhousing". Very funny.

I actually have my glasses on. LeBron is looking towards the baseline when contact is made, then directly at Stewart right after contact... when the fucking swing starts he's looking at the opposite sideline. Where are you even coming up with this shit? Don't get me wrong, it's not surprising, you called that bullshit a great take.
 
Fun fact: The Pistons play the Lakers in L.A. November 28th.

That could be an interesting game to watch.

As someone who has done what I’m about to say many, many times before …

It looks to me like they’re jostling for positioning. Once the ball is clearly headed thru the hoop LeBron looks to see what is still grabbing him and then tries to aggressively swat it away, accidentally hitting the dude in the face. He meant to dislodge his arm, not his nose. He immediately realized that he got more than arm and was apologetic.

I never popped someone in the face accidentally. But I’ve definitely swatted peoples hand and shît like wtf don’t touch me.

and doing the “get off me arm flail” as I call it ppl get hit all the time.

He was frustrated. I think he was trying to be aggressive and forceful. But hit the wrong target.

one game seems fair.

well, there was a reason he dropped to #14 in the draft after consistently being ranked at or close to #1 in his HS days

Rumor is most teams had him either undrafted (medical red flag) or 2nd round. Think the Nuggets and maybe a couple other teams were the only ones to clear him.

^ This is purely from memory, so could be complete bullshit.
 
Ok so NBA suspended LeThug for one game. Just imagine if it’s the other way around. How many games Stewart gets?
