Barton should be suspended

[James lamphear]

Zach will stick up for his team mates. Remember last game he jumped in there for Leonard. But this is his 3 T you can only have 7 or get suspension.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Do you work as a pro wrasslin' ref?

No, just watched it several times. No punch

 

[RR7]

Collins earned his T though. No clue what they got Craig for though. ET probably has a case to dispute, but there are angles where he was reaching for Collins could be read as engaging with Barton

Craig came rushing in and escalated more. His charging in hot is what got zach in there

 

[maxiep]

I hope there's no suspension. I want to beat them with all their weapons at their disposal, so there are no excuses.

 

[Voodoo]

1:24 in that video. Clear deliberate finger to his eye, right in the refs face.

Ah ha, now that I am on a computer I can see it. That is definitely an intentional finger in the face, you're totally right.

I'll take excuses. I want the win.

We're good enough to beat them with The People's Champ.

 

[handiman]

Zach Collins has never met a fight he didn't like haha.

Any act of aggression and he's instantly triggered. Skinniest enforcer I've ever seen.

I love this guy.

The 7' Chihuahua is the new Vanilla Gorilla.

Maybe we are. But if we beat them without him, I won't be any less excited.

 

[Chris Craig]

...shockingly, I couldn't agree more! Barton should be suspended for Game 7 because of the "eye poke"!!

Barton copying Draymond Green?

 

[wizenheimer]

Is this a poem?

I forget...what are the rules for Haiku?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

The Law is "punching is not allowed."
I've seen players thrown out for some weak ass "punches".
Those seems much less egregious than intentionally poking someone in the eye.

After the incident I said out loud "This better not be a double-tech."
Right after I said that, they announced double-techs.

First, five syllables.
Next line, follow with seven.
Last, another five.

I honestly thought two techs/ejection for Barton and one tech for Curry. For a moment there I forgot this is the NBA.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I would like to see the NBA adopt suspensions of 1 Q / 2 Q and Full Game -- cause i think Barton was just poking at Seth and he hit him in the eye but Barton should have been ejected

If i was the law for the NBA i would do 5k fine and 1 or 2Q suspension but what will likely happen IF anything is ...... 5k Fine and that is it and maybe Seth's T resinded

 

[Haakzilla]

...need to see a few frames before this when his finger was actually in Curry's eye/face pushing him!!

 

[DDolla]

Even Hubie Brown agrees

 

[ehizzy3]

Have they announced anything yet?

 

[Natebishop3]

Those sassy mother fuckers...

 

[MARIS61]

Will Barton deliberately poked Seth Curry in the eye, which could easily have ended his career.

In fact, there is no other logical explanation for poking someone in the eye, other than to blind them.

Will Barton is a cowardly little cuck who should be tossed from the league.

Adam Silver has no balls.

 

[THE HCP]

A poke in the eye is one kind of punch to the face

Actually it’s not at all. Move along.

 

[HailBlazers]

If anything he should be suspended for grazing the referee.

 

[Chris Craig]

...need to see a few frames before this when his finger was actually in Curry's eye/face pushing him!!

I was pointing out, Barton also hit a ref in the face

 

[Cugel]

It was a joke that such a debacle by the Nuggets actually did not hurt the team at all. Not even a single FT shot for the Blazers. Seth's "sassy" quote is perfection though. Makes Barton out to be a chick from Clueless.

 

[stampedehero]

That spineless amoeba also chucked his knee into Collins 'neck and back right as he fell.

Adam Silver is an alien so that is probably true.

MMA disagrees with you. Even in a full contact sport. Fighters get disqualified and even suspended for unintentional and intentional eye pokes.

Its serious man. Punch a guy, he can still play. Poke a guy in the eye and he could be out indefintely, possibly permanently.

Was the eye poke a punch? No. Can it cause more harm? Hell yeah it can.
