To start Saturday is going to be awesome. Bruins/ Hans @ 12:30 and three NBA game 7s.

For the ZBo fans out there (Jason) was the suspension warranted. Either way what a shame. I hate when off the four decisions impact the gameplay. This series could change the course of the OKC franchise and having Randolph out is a major hit. If OKC losses there will be significant changes IMO. They remind me of the 2011 Bruins. I know that is not a basketball reference so basically they were a very talented squad that couldn't get over the hump and they were on the way to firing tj coach and possibly GM. Then, oops, they won the cup. I feel the Thunder are in the same position.

I didn't see the play but I heard that it was more of a shove then a punch. I think the NBA is getting a little out of hand suspending anyone that gets in a fight, like Nene haha. Either way it is going to be an epic playoff weekend

Yeah they just killed that game for me.

I find it funny that Z-bo was not the first to be suspended for action against Steve Adams this post season. I didn't see the game, but did see the replay - it looked to me like Adams deliberately didn't move out of Z-bo's way and made a clear attempt to trip him.

It looked like more of a push to me. However, a push to the face in itself could be seen as a punch. I don't like it but I can see the position it puts the NBA in. I will still watch it but I am bummed out about it.

Look to the source for the reasoning: In whose best interest was this suspension? The players'? The fans'? The NBA's? The people paying for commercials? The home markets'?
