He broke protocol. We have the facst that he broke protocol. That isn't an argument. If you break protocl you should be suspended. Its doen't matter who you are. 

So, you have no examples of similarly situated players being treated differently from how LeBron was treated. Got it, thanks!

These first round weekend games are great. Games all day both days

 

I know it wouldn't be financially great but I wish they would continue it in the conference semis

Kyrie had a water. Otter throw.n at him by a fan after the game

 

We really have an issue. I don’t get it at this point. It’s never crossed my mind that it is appropriate to throw stuff at or on another person. There is no heat of the moment situation that justifies it. 
 

I need to dig it up, but I saw somewhere the argument 

 

“They get paid to deal with it”

 

No. Treat people like people

Some people are just really stupid. Sad thing is, all fans will get lumped into it, even though it was just one idiot who decided to throw a bottle.

KD: two hand shove in Fournier’s back, no foul
Fournier: two seconds later is close to KD when he catches the ball, foul

Absolutely ridiculous

I don’t think Dame will ever win a championship but you can’t say he doesn’t do everything for his team. What a performance.

Man. It sucks that people do not know just how good Dame is. 
 

55 on 17/24 is insane. One of the greatest postseason performances ever. And it got regulated to NBATV because they can’t/won’t switch away from the Lakers getting beat down

That was crazy! He won’t win won in Portland unfortunately, **** the NBA. He’s much more likable than some other stars too.

Brad REALLY didn’t want to come coach in college.

This doesn't look like that great of a promotion.

I wonder who they will be looking at... Roster needs a lot of moves made... Only guys I'd keep are Tatum, Brown, Romeo, Nesmith, Pritchard, Smart and Rob Williams.

Yeah I really don’t understand it at all unless he’s just burnt out from coaching. He went from getting offered $10 million a year to coach at IU to not a coach at all in three months. I’m sure he’ll be getting paid perfectly fine in his new role but it’s just an odd move to me.

My guess is he was talking to IU because he & Danny weren't getting along. So took the deal back to Boston, this is what they came up with. All of it seems odd.

Good enough for me as well.

When it's all said & done just know that Indiana got the former NBA coach who wanted nothing more than to be the head basketball coach at Indiana.  That's plenty good enough for me.

You new something was going happen in Boston. Maybe Stevens has better luck in the front office.

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,981]

Maybe Stevens wants the Indiana job in 5 years after Woodson is done. 
 

But to me his stock just took a pretty big hit.   I can’t blame him for wanting a front office job.  Much easier job.

Eh I thought that was common knowledge about coaching in college again. The only people whoever  roughy it up were people wanting him here. And they never had sources. Just speculation.

You see ESPN’s front page this morning? 
 

it was all woe is LeBron. Poor LeBron. Off to the side on their trending area one line about Dame. 
 

And the masses just eat it up. It sucks

 

Speaking of ESPN. Does Windhorst, or whatever his name is, have an actual job yet. Or does he just follow LeBron arkund like a lost dog still

Windhorst and Nick Wright are the absolute worst.
