Just locked in thunder ML for max bet. Conley is banged up. Randolph is out. OKC to the bank

[KRIT]

I turned the game off early b/c it was such a blowout, didn't even know that happened. Dumb move by Z-Bo. NBA had no choice but to suspend him.

[MoneylineExpress]

Goodbye Memphis. Z-Bo out, Conley hurting. It's over.

[Swaggy P]

Line has jumped up to -425

But who knows, patrick ewing theory may be in full effect?

Wow. I just snagged it at -360

[easyliving]

OKC ML is as close as it gets to a lock. Loading up on it in 3 different books.

[jjgold]

Why play????

[BennyBigNuts]

The amazing thing is this doesn't even win the "Dumb Fukk of the Month Award".

He comes in a far 2nd to Magic Johnson and all his bullshit.

Always tough competition for this award in sports.

[Pauulzcappin]

this league is so fukking soft.

Were you on Memphis by any chance?

[ShogunRua]

Agree that it was a complete dumbfukk move by Randolph, but suspending him for the biggest game of the season? I don't know that I agree with it given the circumstances.

the league's mvp getting a first round exit would be bad. zach randolph just made things easier.

Fukkkkk no

no kidding it wasnt a head-2-head knockout uppercut it was while running with the guy a "get the fuk outta my face" slappunch. bs hes suspended

[tokio]

I watched that whole game, I thought it was a push near the neck/face area definitely not a punch. But I did think it was hilarious how Jackson went to the line to practice free throws LOL.

[easyliving]

and yet paul george will play

[Jatt24]

Damn its a wrap for the Grizz.

[The Giant]

If you've ever heard Zach Randolph give a postgame interview, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

He is (how can I put this delicately?) really dumb.

[Statman]

Adam Silver has certainly made his presence felt all week thus far.

[pavyracer]

You can't even punch in the NBA anymore. League is a joke.

not a bigger joke than your hawks though. or atlanta sports team.

I know some black dudes from north Mississippi that go to his house and shoot dice. I know a dude that took 100k off him in a crap game at z Bo's house. These guys traffic and got money and in my mind they would never jack him but the simple fact that he is having high dollar dice games at his house with random people lets me know he is a Fukkin moe Ron.

[The Kraken]

Problem with the "circumstances" theory is that if players know the league is not likely to take action against them due to circumstances such as a game 7 on the line, players will begin pushing the envelope. It becomes a slippery slope where zbo punches Adams without consequence but what happens when John Wall clobbers LBJ? The league would have to over look it to be consistent.

Lol.

[blstrick5]

It wasn't even a punch. Our culture has gotten so fukkin soft these days.

[BigDofBA]

More like a closed fist bitch slap.

[The Kraken]

I agree. Honestly as an OKC homer, I wish Zbo was playing. Nobody wants an asterisks next to a game due to a star player being out. Its been a hell of a series.

[NardVa]

NBA wants Durant in the 2nd round. Adam Silver started licking his chops when he got the chance to suspend Zach.

[BigDofBA]

If the NBA really wanted OKC to advance they wouldn't have let OKC lose in three overtime games and Crawford wouldn't have iced Durant on that free throw.

Come on. Durant has been getting beat to hell this series and the refs are letting Memphis play.

[Swaggy P]

yup

[NardVa]

Watch the Thunder some how lose game 7. Now that would be epic.

[marcoloco]

NBA trying to make sure the Thunder advance
