From what I've read, Kyrie is good to play but the coaching staff is keeping him out. I doubt we see him until the NBA finals.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1730879 wrote:Evidently, Kyrie went through shoot around today wearing the red starter's jersey. Hope we don't press him to play tonight, although I'm sure he wants to suit up to take some of the burden off of LeBron.
Cavs are going to win tonight, there's really no doubt in anyone's mind they have this locked up.ernest_t_bass;1730867 wrote:Perfect scenario would be for the Cabs to win tonight (likely) and the Rockets to stretch this to 7 games (unlikely).
I dont really GAF at this point. It's over. JR has a rep, Howard doesn't. /discussionDr. KnOiTaLL;1730876 wrote:What I would like to know is how JR Smith gets suspended for two games for the backhanded face shot and Howard gets to stay in the game and the media hasn't said a word about it?
Those were not the same thing, JR cocked back and knocked Jae Crowder the fuck out, Howard's backhand was a love tap in comparison.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1730876 wrote:What I would like to know is how JR Smith gets suspended for two games for the backhanded face shot and Howard gets to stay in the game and the media hasn't said a word about it?
One was a love tap, one was a KO blow.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1730903 wrote:
Both plays featured contact to the head with a closed fist. Both punches were in retaliation to a shove in the back. J.R. Smith was ejected. Dwight Howard was given a flagrant-1.
This is correct. JR has a history. Dwight doesn't (although one seems to be developing). However, the rules state:Commander of Awesome;1730896 wrote:I dont really GAF at this point. It's over. JR has a rep, Howard doesn't. /discussion

Yes.robj55;1730915 wrote:lol, you're serious?
Dwight's was more of a push off on Bogut's face, JR swung to knock out Crowder, which he did. Not even close to being the same thing.sleeper;1730919 wrote:Yes.
The only real difference is JR will be winning an NBA championship and Dwight will at home watching on TV.robj55;1730923 wrote:Dwight's was more of a push off on Bogut's face, JR swung to knock out Crowder, which he did. Not even close to being the same thing.
So JR should be punished more because he doesn't hit like a bitch?robj55;1730923 wrote:Dwight's was more of a push off on Bogut's face, JR swung to knock out Crowder, which he did. Not even close to being the same thing.

Makes me believe his injury really isn't a big concern.HighRoller74;1730983 wrote:Kyrie is playing. Has 25m limit.
Stupid in my opinion
