Randolph hit him in the face bro. Instead of hitting him, maybe he should tell the refs to watch out for what Adams is doing.
And the refs will always give more calls to the better teams, just how it is.

The NBA has officially lowered itself below WWE level. How the OKC-MEM series is blatantly fixed is maybe one of the worst kept secrets in sports history. And it's not only this case. The NBA has heavily favored the bandwagon, superstar teams for years, and they let these teams get away with murder. It's all about profits and marketability for them, and they can't have their superstars go out in the 1st round. Memphis has had their number all series, and the refs(following the NBA's commands) have done everything in their power to give the Thunder the upper hand. And even then, they couldn't get the job done. Memphis has kept fucking up their plans. And now so that they can finally get their way, they suspend the heart of the team and the key cog that had kept Memphis going for a little shove against Steven Adams who had been blatantly fouling Randolph the entire time he was in with not nearly enough whistles blown. And there is a common denominator here. SEVEN PLAYERS this year have been suspended from altercations with Steven Adams. The guy is a foul machine, and half the time he gets away with his style of play. So now, without Zach Randolph, and very possibly Mike Conley due to injury, the Grizzlies are sunk. If this series had been called anywhere moderately close to fairly, the Grizzlies would have won in 5 games. I am done with the NBA for now. It is corrupt. I will not watch game 7 of this series, and I am heavily debating giving up the NBA entirely. Paul George shouldn't be playing in game 7 in the series vs the Hawks. I'm sick of the stretching of the rules for teams with superstar players, too. This is not grade school or rec ball. You should not be able to be good enough to be above the rules, either.

I can see how people would see a double standard, but George didn't punch anyone.

Yeah, he didn't but you are not allowed to step past the 3 point line if you're supposed to be on the bench and in doing so will be a 1 game suspension. It's the rules. George did step past the 3 point line.

And the refs will always give more calls to the better teams, just how it is. Yet Randolpn didn't intend to hit him in the face. I get the feeling he was trying to make it more of a back off sort of push to send a message. He just couldn't place it properly because it happened while he was running down the court. And Randolph did complain to the refs but they didnt do shit. I was at the game. Adams overexaggerated the impact too. Hell, what Josh McRoberts did to Lebron was 10 times worse, but he got no suspension. What Zbo did was wrong yes, it probably deserved a small fine, but a suspension? Hell no, and I'm not th only one with this opinion

If you are going to take a cheap shot at least wait until Adams got the ball. Geesh.

The NBA absolutely tries to ensure the teams with the big stars advance in the playoffs. No doubt.

Not the way to start the series. Hopefully Chris Paul decides to maybe miss a shot next game.
