Normally a fan of your stuff, Wagner, but you're way out of line here. That's a suspension no matter who you are, which is why Kevin Durant would never be dumb enough to do it. I wasn't even sure your article was serious until I saw you defending it down here in the comments. Very dirty and dangerous play, absolutely…

Why is this bullshit? Even if Adams tried to goad him into something, Randolph still punched him in the fucking neck. This is like those "they should let the players play" situations, as if just because its Game 7, and the playoffs, doing something against the rules shouldn't have consequences.

To be honest, if I was Memphis and knowing Steven Adams' history, I would have pulled Z-Bo off in the 4th, put in Ed Davis and just let the chips fall where they may that game. It was obvious Memphis wasn't coming back in the 4th, and while you don't want to necessarily tank a quarter in front of what could be the…

You didn't post anything when Blair got suspended for the Mavs on an even more questionable call. He punched a guy in the face. I agree that there should be something that can be done besides suspending key players for key games, but they're not going to change the rules because you're a Grizzlies fan.

Wow. Homosexual slur against the author. You're really going for it buddy.

You have to be kidding me or must be a Grizz fan? This guy deserves to be suspended for that. I'm not a OKC fan, and I wish the Grizz wern't missing their best player for game 7. That's what you get when you count on a knucklehead.

Seriously?! Why would you channel your frustration at the NBA? While I agree with you 100% that this taints an otherwise great series, it's Z-Bo's damn fault. He's a complete moron for doing this to his teammates. The blame lies with his dumb ass, not the NBA who did nothing but exactly what they said they will do if…

Why the hell is Steven Adams throwing his neck at Randolph's fist? Terrible.

Are you sure you're remembering the NBA correctly? Or have you just been watching Lambeer highlights?

You need to start the GIF earlier. In the NBA.com video it looks like Adams bumps him and even takes a little swing at ZBo's nuts, which causes the reaction.

Silver lining in all this....that punch saves Scott Brooks job with the Thunder, and speaking for everyone that hate the Thunder...this is a good thing.

Not only did Z-Bo throw a punch to the jaw/neck area, he also threw an elbow to the torso first. Suspension is legit, calm your tits.

FROM HAWKS DUH

U like swearing amirite

Why because they will attack me with their talons?

One of the guys I work for, who's the point man four our company at trade shows and whatnot in our industry, said "Analytics is the new Big Data, an overused buzzword that means whatever the person trying to sell it to you wants it to mean."

Fuck the blackhawks.

I think it's fair to question the effectiveness of nude spanking in front of visitors considering this same kid later went on to shoot a guy and then die from an overdose. For some crazy reason the Dr. Sterling method for child rearing doesn't seem to produce great results.

I'm kind of confused about their thought process there. "Oh man, this whole situation is creepy and uncomfortable as shit. Better briefly end it by signing up for years of associating with this guy!"

I kow, without the discipline a good beating provides Sterling's son might have grown up to be a criminal or a drug addict.
