What is David Stern's job as the commissioner? Being Jewish of course. And by that, I mean making money. How does he make money? Ratings. How does he get ratings (not by good basketball obviously) - by DRAMA! Where do you find drama? Easy, bring back Ron the Bomb in time to face the man he 'unintentionally' KO'ed.
7 games is entirely bullshit. Its way too small of a punishment - especially considering Bomb's past. I'm not sure what kind of message this sends to the rest of the league. Maybe its that giving a concussion to a star player only gets you a two week suspension. In that case, what's to stop teams sending in bruisers to intentionally rough up another team?
Hey Indiana why don't you put Lou Admundson in the game to 'unintentionally' low bridge Derek Rose? Lou is gone for two weeks, but Rose could be out for months (maybe the season).
And here's the thing that really gets me.
People that say the impact of Hardens injury should not influence Bomb's suspension.
This is saying all intentional elbows to the head are a 7 game suspension. No matter the players involved, and no matter the consequences.
IN THAT FUCKING CASE JUST MAKE MIAMI'S WHOLE BENCH ASSASSINS CAUSE THEY AIN'T DOING MUCH ELSE.
An intentional elbow to the head gets you seven games??! Seven games?!
No, it gives you a small breather til you come back in the second round in which you face the man you elbowed. In that case, ratings go through the roof and fat cats get more fucking fatter.
Editorial note: I normally don't like writing on the most popular/current NBA happenings because they're all over the media but I just felt this was necessary. Expect something more my style soon.
