Kwame Brown Needs a One-Game Suspension

[TucsonDevil]

Artest was suspended for nothing, Posey was suspended for a little "aggressive" play - But what Kwame Brown did against Boris Diaw is bad for the league and should be dealt with harshly.

and btw, Marion should be suspended as well. One the same play he didn't stand up for his teammate, he had to wait for Nash to do that... Marion, you have little heart.

 

[HooverDam]

While I agree about Kwame, I think Marion was trying to be careful. He didnt want to get a T and things were getting hot.

 

[Chaplin]

If Boris Diaw gets a T because Kobe Bryant rammed into his back, knocking down Smush Parker and Tim Thomas, there was ample reason for Marion to not get involved.

 

[AZ Shocker]

I agree, but unfortunentely Kwame plays for the LOS ANGELES LAKERS who are about to become one of the TOP NBA teams again. The league so badly needs (wants) LA to win its sickening.

 

[jibikao]

It's Fakers. Come on. It won't happen.

 

[Forrestham]

Yes he deserves a suspension. Especially since James Posey got one. It was cheap

 

[jibikao]

I saw the replay when I watched Kings vs Spurs tonight. It wasn't THAT obvious. Artest just put his elbow up to defend when Manu ran through it. I thought Artest hit him on purpose. I didn't think that's hard enough to get suspended.

I disagree. As much as I would love Kwame to get suspended for a game, that didn't warrant one. They got tangled up and in my mind that should have been a foul on Kwame, not Boris, but I don't think there was intent or maliciousness involved. The staredown deserved a technical and he got one.

If they were tangled up he would've just thrown his arm up in the air. After the ball was knocked away and he was fouled, he waited a couple of seconds, stuck out and his elbow and threw his weight into Diaw. It wasn't an accident and he deserves a suspension, period.

We must have saw different replays. From what I saw it was the knockdown that got the foul call, and the extraneous activities didn't start till after that incident. Perhaps you are right, my frustration of the game has sort of clouded my memory but in my mind it should have been loose ball foul and tech on Kwame, nothing more.

 

[D-Dogg]

The Posey and Artest fouls were both flagrants, and ejections at the game itself. The mouthpiece incident was because he was showing up Joey Crawford...pretty dumb overall anyway.

I would be shocked if either Kwame or Walton got suspended. If either did, it would be Luke. And I don't think he will either, though God only knows what the hell he was thinking there.

He was fouled on a reachin by Diaw, if they called Diaw for a foul on that they're even worse than I thought.

He had control of the ball, whistle blew, ball goes to his teammate and then he cheapshot Diaw

iirc there was no foul called. they just called a tech and nash missed the free throw and they gave the lakers the ball.

Kwame's incident was well after the whistle blew, he should get suspended for it. You can't stick out your elbow and then throw all of your weight into a player

There's nothing else to call it but a cheapshot

 

[D-Dogg]

Diaw's arm tangled up in Kwames got the foul call, and Kwame basically tossing him to the ground simply by extending his arms through and up (there was no push or punch) and/or the subsequent standing over him like Muhhammed Kwa-Me drew the tech.

To officiate that sequence any better, I'd say it should have been a double foul on Kwame and Diaw, with Kwame getting a tech. That's it. Nothing more. No blows were thrown, nothing. The league has NEVER suspended anyone for intimidating another player, and it would be a dumb precedent if it started now.

Yup. Even if Diaw fouled him (which he got the call for), he didn't need to go ontop on Diaw and stare down. That's totally un-call for and I was hoping Diaw can punch him back. lol That should be two Ts because Brown started the fight when Kobe went crazy, finger pointing.

There was a foul called for a Diaw reach in. The elbow happened a few seconds after that and he only got T'ed for standing over him afterwards ... what a joke

If you are pushing you don't lead with your elbow and you especially don't do it in the facial area. Come on man you know better than that

Especially with the delayed reaction. If he did it right after the foul, maybe I see your point but he waited a few seconds and passed the ball to his teammate. This wasn't just incidental

Why would D-Dog supports the idea of suspending Brown? No need to explain to him. He won't and can't understand.

Now you're definitely reaching. The scrum that happened after the Kwame/Diaw incident was handled fairly well by the refs I thought. They stepped in, separated the players (who were doing nothing but jawing) and huddled and figured out what to do after. I still maintain that it should have been a loose ball foul on Kwame instead of Diaw (it looked like Diaw reached out and grabbed it and then Kwame stuck his hand in and got them tangled up) but other than that they couldn't have done much better. Kwame got his deserved technical, the situation was somewhat diffused, and that's it.

I was joking. I wanted Diaw to punch him back just for the stare.

PS: And one of the refs was busy pushing Kobe back who was finger pointing Nash for whatever reasons.

Because Nash was running his mouth. Nash has been mouthy a lot in this series...I never thought of him as that type of player.

Some bad blood is developing between the two teams.

Suns fans, you wanted a rivalry...these kinds of series can help develop it.

At least Nash isn't finger pointing... like someone else.

I say there's about a 40 percent chance the league suspends Kwame, and if they do it would be for going Ali over Diaw because they don't want that kind of activity to take place in the league.

What the hell is wrong with finger pointing? Seriously, stop tripping about Kobe. My lord.
