2024 NBA Season

[carlisle1]

Everyone's emotion was invested in the event and that's why we all have opinions that aren't really wrong. Upon watching it and you'll see the blood shed over the face of Isaiah, you'll really think of it as negative and we can't blame anyone who thinks of having that opinion and as well as the opinion of the others that don't think he has to retire. At the end of this, it's all about discussion and opinion that we have towards the situation that has happened.

Opinions are entitled to everyone, we do have differences and we can't force someone to agree with us if they find other things that differ from what we have.

Whatever the case, at the end of it both players needs to shows their professionalism. That kind of incidence should not happen again.

It's no longer the time of the late 80's and 90's, it's a career now more than the pride players should act like pro.

I think these dirty style plays from LeBron are going to become more and more common as his aging lowers his play level to be below some of the young guys in the league. I don’t he’s going to have an easy time adjusting to him not being the most dominant player on the court.

Guys, LeBron has only been ejected 2 times only, all the other dirty plays he did were either mild or he simply got away, I'm not a LeBron fan but he's not a dirty player

You are missing the point Dupee. He wasn't a dirty player when he was younger since he can dominate the game with his skills and superior athleticism. He may as well resort to using tricks and some dirty plays to outmaneuver his opponents as his body deteriorates due to age. He won't be able to outrun or outjump younger guys now.

That's true and basically, we all have been moved by such fights every match that we watch. But hopefully, the next time we get to see them, they're better, and as much as they can, they should avoid getting involved in any fight. The penalty has been given for that much and I think if it will be repeated, there will be a higher sanction for which they have to pay and they have no choice but to take it. Just wishing them good since it's already done.

I have seen those dirty tricks in EURO2020 in football but haven't thought in other sports they do the same.
I don't watch much of sports but sometimes randomly and these cheating and tricks are in most all of the sports i've seen cricketers cheat, abuse each other footballers abuse each other

Well, he's 36, he is past his prime but I'm pretty sure with the situation that elevated yesterday or perhaps the other day, the situation wasn't really that relevant to what you were saying, it's not a trick nor a dirty play, Isaiah Stewart is not a key player for Detroit, only averages on what is expected for a rookie/sophomore so I don't see the need for LeBron to actually get rid of this kid in the game, I am assuming that it's more of a frustration rather than a dirty play, you can see how irritated LeBron was when he elbowed Stewart, therefore, LeBron won't resort to that kind of violence as he didn't mean it and was a heat of the moment for both, I still feel bad for Stewart though.

I do agree that Lebron is not a dirty player. And in this situation, it seems that he didn't intentionally try to throw that elbow on Stewart. They are all jockeying for position and no one want's to give up and perhaps James is trying to regain control and accidentally throw the elbow to Stewart face. And as per report, he will be suspended one game without pay.

I guess some times intention doesn't matter in cases like this, James isn't and has never been dirty player (this being his first suspension and 2nd ejected over the course of his illustrious career would also corroborate that fact)  It was pretty obvious that James was trying to apologize immediately even before Stewart stood up perhaps knowing the impact that the fist could have made, but the damage has been done already intentional or not. I'm sure Stewart would reflect on the replay seeing that James was sorry instantly and probably didn't mean for it to happen.

I also agree with that but 2 games suspension for Isaiah Stewart? What is that supposed to mean? Analysts telling it should be like that to teach them a lesson not to overreact? These guys need to be punched in the face and let's see if they will react to it or not? It's a human thing and these men have high testosterone that will react quickly.
Lebron didn't intentionally hurt him but obviously, that is above the shoulder which is illegal and how he pulled his arm is different, there is a force in it like a +1.
They used a track record to decide and Lebron is clean and Stewart is not. Wow. Like he is the one who hit his face to Lebron's elbow.

[yazher]

The Brooklyn Nets haw won their game today and that will make them gain the number one seed in the eastern conference right now without Uncle Drew. looks like everything is easy for them when they work together as a team with James Harden and the others.

HAHA Lebron hater spotted! Don't apply that testosterone stuffs there. Stewart's rampage shows some disrespect to the officials and staff who stopped him even the situation already escalated. Why does he still need to make a 2nd attack and run to Lebron? That's not necessary. Lebron's already close to him while apologizing, he should slap Lebron during that time. When others are now stopping him, that's the time he rampaged. HAHA. Stewart should thank Lebron as he's now popular haha. I didn't know that player until that incident haha. Play jackstone if he doesn't want to experience unexpected physical contact.

Agreed.

Regardless of intent, I think that Lebron should be serving the same length suspension as Isaiah Stewart. Stewart had every right to defend himself after that hit, especially looking at the volume of blood that came out of him.

Besides, that hit did not look unintentional to me.

I might agree with what you said that men have high testosterone that will react quickly but they are in probably the biggest professional basketball league in the world. As a player, you should act professionally and not like that. Whether its intentional or not, the fact that he is like a raging bull out there where no one can stop him is for me a wrong thing to do. We saw Lebron apologizing and he should accept it because its unintentional like many are saying but to act like you are just playing in the streets? I don't think that is the attitude of a professional player.

Maybe if only Stewart didn't act that way then he shouldn't be suspended for 2 games without pay or at least he will not get suspended and only Lebron will. I'm not a hater or fan of Lebron or anything but for me, I think that the punishment for both Stewart and James are just right.

[Natalim]

I can't believe that Lebron was only suspended from one game while Isaiah Stewart has 2 games suspension.

I think the judgment is not fair, Lebron really is a superstar and the NBA really likes him.
However, the amount he loses is very huge because one-game suspension is equivalent to  $284.004 not being paid for him.

Nah it's not like that. It's when he tasted his blood that's why he went on a rampage afterward. I am not a Lebron hater and I actually love his punctuality in the game and pure hard work. But this is a different one. There should be equality when putting suspension on players. The weight of what he does is a heavy one and it's in the head. Have you ever thought of what if Stewart never wakes up after that hit?
Why 1 suspension for Lebron and 2 for Stewart? Who was the one hurting/bleeding? What will Stewart feel about this? What will the fans think about the NBA?

Anyway, just a tip, your post is filled with "haha" you can use the smile/laugh emoticons above where you write for us to see you are happy or laughing.

Okay, so enough for Lebron, let's take about the Memphis vs Jazz game.

That game was really intense, Memphis was always behind and they keep trying to close and that last shot by Jackson Jr. in the 3 point line made them win. What do you think is the problem with the Jazz here, they seem to struggle against a good team even if they are highly favored to win, and Memphis is not even complete. 

That shot was revenge for their loss in the playoffs.

I think it was just one of those games in the long run of the regular season, just cannot finish strong in every game. Ja Morant was a beast again, 32 points in 37 minutes. I do believe he has the potential to be a future MVP. Let's see what kind of performance they will show in the playoffs

Dillon Brooks was not even playing, how much more if he will come back and play. Memphis defense and Offense will improve for sure.

Hopefully, we will see him soon as Memphis needs to climb and compete with the ranking.
Brooks was announced out against the Jazz (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/2157680/dillon-brooks/).
Let's see if he will be available next game.

Isiah Stewart cause a commotion that will interrupt the game after he received that elbow. If he is professional, He should atleast let the officials review it first and decide the punishment but since the one who elbow him is a famous basketball player, He thinks that his dignity was being stepped that's why his natural instinct is to confront and revenge physically. I don't if the elbow is intentional but as a professional player, You should behave accordingly without any feelings involve. I know how hard it is but I agree to the decision that he should receive more penalty because he is the one insisting to brawl while LeBron is reaching to him at the beginning. He is the one showing more aggressiveness while the other party is passive so that is fair since LeBron got suspended too.

Provide proof that NBA used a track record to decide for the suspension. If you can't provide it you are just posting lies here. I've repeated, Stewart's rampage shows some disrespect to the officials and staff who stopped him even the situation already escalated. The officials are now reviewing the play and he still runs to attack Lebron on the other side of the court. Explain where's the unfair part of the suspension. Do you think it's right to act that way just because his testosterone triggered it? Lebron is just calm and does not want to fight back. Different from other altercations that happened for some players before that is more intentional and dirty. Stewart should just punch Lebron when the latter apologizes. He waits to be stopped before acting tough lmao. What if he gets physical contact again in the future. He should play jackstone haha.

My post my rules haha. But to satisfy you here's an emoticon.

His action was brought by his emotion, we have to understand him because he is still new in the NBA and maybe he wasn't expecting that a player that we called "The King" will do that to him. I mean, he respect Lebron and did not expect he would do some dirty play.
