Embarrassing, this is a disgrace. The league is so soft now it's unbelievable.

Zero tolerance for non-basketball goon plays. I like it.

Wow just when I thought Adam Silver couldn't get any better, he does something like this and totally unredeemed himself.

Seriously, way to boost those nba ratings by finding a way to not give the underdog any chance NBA. If Randolph is suspended then they should suspend Paul George too.

He gave him an intentional elbow and got him with a closed fist.  Unfortunately, that's suspension-worthy.

Saw this coming a mile away.

He just cost his team a potential chance of advancing to the finals.

Who did Paul George intentionally hit in the face?


EDIT:  Here's the play BTW.  Not really ambiguous.

The NBA is soft the 80's style play will never be seen again. This ticky tack foul calls make me want to puke.

Randolph's play is suspension worthy. You cant just punch other players. It wasn't even a basketball play. I dont get the outrage here. I miss old school fouling too, but punches get suspensions.

I was /am rooting for the Grizzlies in this series. It's too bad Randolph threw a punch.

TP to fwf for the link to the hit.

I can't believe people have a problem with this. Elbow to the midsection, punch thrown and connected. Suspension. Easy.

Yeah, players should just be free to punch other players in the face because the NBA needs to "give the underdog a chance."  That makes a lot of sense.

Silver is not the blame for Randolph being an idiot and possibly costing his team the series. They have/had a legitimate chance to beat OKC and he does something like that heading into a pivotal game.
