OT: Bynum Suspended 5 Games for Barea Hit

[Boob-No-More]

It's official, five game suspension and $25,000 fine.

Expected the game amount..kind of surprised about the $$$ amount. I expected closer to $50,000.

5 games. What a joke. Wasn't he suspended longer for the Beasley incident? That punk needs to be barred from the league.

2 games for the Beasley hit.

Even I, the proponent of the double-digit game suspension, think that's going way, way overboard. There's no way he's done anything remotely deserving of being kicked out of basketball.

I was thinking 5 games was not enough too but then I read this.

@mtokito Mike Tokito
Five games w/o pay will cost Andrew Bynum more than $850,000. That is some expensive elbow.

 

[Mamba]

He was suspended 2 games for Beasley. Lol, get over it dude..Raja was suspended 1 game for clotheslining Kobe. KG was suspended 0 games for hitting Frye (??) in the nuts.

Most rational people agree that 5-7 games is enough. You can't suspended a person 10 games for an elbow. The next one, if/when their is one, will probably get him a 10 game suspension.

Fines like this are a joke. He loses far more per game in terms of salary.

The $25,000 fine wasn't for the hit on Barea. It was for removing his jersey (no one wants to see that) and the manner in which he left the court. Basically, $25,000 for being a dumbass. I agree. He got off cheap.

It was a cheap shot. Nobody got hurt. The punishment is appropriate, given his repeat offender status. If Andre Miller cheap shots another guy from behind next year, I expect a similar suspension.

I don't even have to read it, but I have a sneaking suspicion this thread is no longer about Andrew Bynum and is suddenly about Andre Miller.

If is is, please stop polluting every thread with your Miller hate.

Andre Miller is fairly important to him. All roads lead to Andre Miller.

Seems like an unhealthy obsession to me - always hating on one of the more productive players on your own team and constantly bringing him up in totally unrelated threads.

The only comparable cheap shot this year related to the Blazers was Miller's on Griffin. Sorry for bringing up a Blazer player, but silly me thought this was a Blazer board?

I didn't realize this had turned into a Laker board.

Putting somebody on ignore and then doing the "I'm not talking to him" 2nd-party conversation with another poster seems like an unhealthy obsession to me.

Minstrel, would let BoobNoMore know that I do like that he authored a thread based on actual newsworthy information? Ed O. will be most pleased!

 

[Minstrel]

Well, if we're calling any example of unnecessary contact a cheap shot, it was after two Blake Griffin cheap shots against him, which makes it not comparable at all.

You seem to think it's an Andre Miller board.

I didn't realize this had turned into a Laker board.

Any true Blazers fan is a follower of the Lakers, if only to root for their destruction.

 

[illmatic99]

Nate fined $35K for mentioning 19-2 FTA disparity. Bynum fined $25K for taking his jersey off on the middle of the court because he was frustrated.

(heh, had to include that emoticon)

S2 posters mean serious bizness when they respond to each line of your post individually.

Plus, Griffin's weren't "cheap shots" at all. Getting pushed in the back happens every play to bigs.

Andre Miller yells at children and makes fun of helpless old grandmas.

Do tell!

 

[Boob-No-More]

Andre Miller yells at children and makes fun of helpless old grandmas.

But does he own an airsoft gun and post threatening thumbnails on the internet?

BNM

 

[PapaG]

Minstrel, please tell BoobNoMore that there are no accusations, as of yet, of Andre Miller owning an Airsoft gun.

 

[Minstrel]

And pushing in the back is what Miller did to Griffin. Glad we finally agree that what Miller did wasn't a cheap shot and happens every play to bigs!

I swear on my grandma, if Andre shows up to training camp with his hair all crazy like last year, I'm gonna' write a nasty letter to Rich Cho.

Absolutely a Blazer board, but the thing and joke of this forum is when you actually bring up Miller on every opportunity. And never in a positive way. Hey you could have easily brought up Ariza on Fernandez. But nope, you decided to use Miller knowing you could toss another dig on him.

Hell you could have just stuck to the topic and brought up Beasly or Wallace getting knocked to the ground. It is an obsession that everyone notices.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

andre miller fucked my ass with no lube

 

[tlongII]

I think he should have got a 10 game suspension. The fact that this is the 3rd time he's pulled this shit should have been given more consideration.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Too easy. He's the most predictable poster on this forum. At least Mixum spread his negativity around.

Karma is a mother fucker... I think the Karma Police just might step in on this one.

The subject line clearly states OT. Not sure how someone could miss that unless they are blinded by hate.

The only other comparable cheap shot this season and it was also Andrew Bynum. Nah, that would have been staying on topic.
