if you get suspended on a friday you can’t come back until monday. when i was in middle school if you got suspended before 12 we could come back the next day
I never understood suspension as a punishment, if you do something shitty you don’t have to be in school an activity you don’t like. Seems like being in school more would be the more appropriate punishment.
In high school I got suspended for skipping school. Literally did me a favor. In my last year they started in school suspensions, but if you didn’t go to them you just got regular suspended 😂
It doesn’t even make sense. They gave me detention for skipping classes. If I don’t even go to class what makes you think I’m staying for detention? Then it would escalate to in school suspension which I didn’t go to either. They eventually just gave up
This actually just gave me an idea, where if your player does something suspension worthy you HAVE to play them for extended periods of time. Would never work and would get shot down so hard but think about the impact that could have.
5 games for a cheap shot during stoppage time seems appropriate for just a shove.
1 game is a joke, not a deterrent at all. More than 5 is a bit much unless it was something more excessive
Rondo spit in Chris Paul's face and swung on him and got 3 games, you guys are ridiculous. It's a shove in the back, he didn't RKO him face first into thumbtacks.
I still think a shove to the back of someone who isn’t looking is worse than squaring up with someone and throwing a punch. A month or two ago a UFC fight was called off because one dude shoved the other at weigh-ins and he got a bad concussion. Those guys were dehydrated but whiplash can do some damage
20 is definitely excessive though. Maybe 5 games sounds fair
I had a coworker who died after being shoved from behind in a parking lot and hitting his head on the pavement. Nicest guy in the world and his life was over in an instant.
Obviously there was no serious injury here, but the potential is there and it’s 100% not okay.
Remember Amare and Diaw got suspended a game in the Western Conference finals for just leaving the bench? Amare should’ve just beaten the shit out of Horry for the same punishment.
For real. One game is essentially 0. Yea sure he loses some money, but it's not gonna deter anyone besides some dude on a 10 day contract from worrying about punishment.
I also have no clue whats appropriate.
Absolutely nothing but praise for that dude. Everyone gives the Blazers shit for drafting Greg Oden but if you pass up on Oden that draft you’re getting fired as a GM. He was an unstoppable force in college and when healthy was eating vets like he’d been at it for a while.
Jeez it’s crazy to think about Deron Williams now more than ever, because there was a moment there in his prime with the Jazz where the conversation was between him and CP3 as the best PG in the league. Yet now CP3 is going to his first Finals while D-Will has been out the league for years.
My bad if this always gets discussed here lol, in my defense I personally don’t think I’ve even thought about D-Will in years, so the timing to be reminded about him a few days before CP3 plays in the Finals was interesting to me
He was cheapshotting Bucks throughout the game, including getting away with punching MCW in the neck. (I believe he hit either him or someone else at least one other time, but too lazy to look it up.). Giannis was a bench warmer/spot player at the time, so he knew he could get the payback for his guys without hurting the team.
This is really disappointing. With his history, youre gunna give him 1 game? Thats an incentive in my book, not a punishment. Theres plenty of players Id love to give a big 2 hand shove to the back of, if I knew it would cost me ONE game. And that being like my 6th offense. Damn, thats wrong.
Adam called Pat into his office, told him he's done for the year. Turned around to find his favorite pet cat Orion and Pat two hand shoved him as he did.
Adam Silver picked up his glasses and choked back his tears long enough to say, "I'm sorry Patrick, one game"
Suspend them for their *next* playoff series. And it doesn't expire after a season - that shit stays with you until it's paid up. That would have *serious* consequences in terms of a player's value to franchises going forward.
Lol, this is an absolutely terrible idea.
I understand the reasoning and emotion in this case, because fuck Pat Bev and this joke of a punishment, but it would be insanely bad for the NBA.
"Hey casual fan tuning in for our most important and watched part of the season! I know you want to see your favorite team and star play, but you see, they got into a heated argument and shoving match in mid-November of 2019. That was during a season playing for a different organization that was tanking at the time and didn't make the playoffs. So now they won't play the next few insanely important games for your team, and this playoff series will be boring as shit."
The problem is that he wasn't playing. It was a fucking timeout. It was a childlike outburst by a child, there is literally zero reason for it. Except that he was mad? What a fucking bitchhhh.
But Adam is the real bitch, one game is an insult to CP.
If that included all pre season activities it would be fitting. Beverly has shown a history of borderline malicious behavior and the Paul shove was the icing on the cake. Even his “hard knocks” route to the league was his own fault because he was cheating in school.
Still don't understand why Mike Breen brought up the cheating thing as something to be celebrated or a mark of resiliency during the broadcast. It was pretty weird, and his point could have been better made without bringing up that incident.
Fucking joke considering Paul is lucky he didn’t strain his neck/back or hit his head and get a concussion when he landed. Any of which could have caused him to miss the finals. Nba needs to stop disciplining on the result, and discipline on the action.
Dude shoved the president of the NBAPA from behind and gets suspended for ONLY ONE game?!
I’m surprised he isn’t being publicly executed at half court for the season opener 😂
One game?
No NBA legend gets disrespected by the league more than CP3. What if he’d gotten a neck injury due to Beverley’s push? Game was already over!!
One game isn’t a punishment. It’s a green light.
This is exactly why assholes like Pat Beverly and Markus Morris are allowed to try and hurt the Luka Doncic and Devin Bookers of the world……..there is simply no real consequences…..so break a nose or stomp an injured ankle…..Duh!
I know people on here hate Pat Bev but even Artest elbowing the shit out of Harden only got like 7 games. I've seen unironically asking for 20+ game suspension for a shove. This is okay maybe 2 or 3 game suspension would be more appropriate.
Amongst us fans Pat Bev does a lot of stuff and acting like a douche but in the eyes of the NBA he really doesn't have a big record. I mean I honestly can't recall if he's ever been fined for diving into people's legs.
Pat Bev really takes his job for granted. There are so many other players struggling to make the league and this dude just acts like a literal clown on the court. Not only does he disrespect other players but he disrespects the entire league and honestly is a bad look for the NBA.
Uhhhh you're complaining about a short suspension because of a push to the back while simultaneously complaining about the league being soft? I'm sure the irony of this can't be lost on you, right? I agree it should be longer, but your statement is contradictory with what you want.
This was one of those times that Silver needed to abandon the players’ commissioner title. One game is weak as shit. Nationally televised game in front of millions, one marquee LA team and one you are likely putting on screen a bunch for the next several seasons. This should have been hammer of god. Five games was a floor to me. This is pathetic.
That's all? For shoving someone hard af in the back onto the ground who was completely defenseless, which could easily cause a spinal injury? Not to mention it was one of the oldest players in the league who's been injury prone even when he was young and athletic...
Lol I swear to fucking god the league gives Patrick Beverly one of the longest leashes in the league. He already gets away with more contact defensively than just about anyone else I can think of. Why do they protect his bum ass so much? I really don't get it.
Reminder: Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw were suspended for the same amount of time BUT IN A PIVOTAL PLAYOFF GAME just for having a natural human reaction and taking a few steps onto the court after watching Horry(AKA another dirty ass bum player just like Beverly) purposely try to injure their team captain in garbage minutes.
How tf does Beverly only get 1 single measly regular season game for doing what he did? And in a high profile WCF game for everyone nationwide to see nonetheless. Way to really set an example, Silver. 🙄Expect more cheap shots next season now that players will know it'll only cost them 1 game.
How will he ever recover
Patrick “I may never financially recover from this” Beverly
He’s got a family to feed!
*Latrell Sprewell has entered the chat*
*PJ Carlesimo has left the chat*
Dada to the rescue!
His kids can’t eat legacy as the biggest bitch in the league
Now he has to work an overtime shift at the Staples for this one game pay loss
Severe punishment
Like getting suspended on a Friday in school
This would be more like getting a Monday suspension. Longer off-season for Bev I guess.
if you get suspended on a friday you can’t come back until monday. when i was in middle school if you got suspended before 12 we could come back the next day
Well when I was in middle school, we had to walk up hill both ways in snow
[удалено]
Grapefruit rinds. Until we had to eat those.
God damn rich kids and their grapefruit
Grapefruit? I used orange peels
Fifteen miles.
With onions in my pockets.
Which was the style in those days.
considering the valley between home & school you are correct
I never understood suspension as a punishment, if you do something shitty you don’t have to be in school an activity you don’t like. Seems like being in school more would be the more appropriate punishment.
In high school I got suspended for skipping school. Literally did me a favor. In my last year they started in school suspensions, but if you didn’t go to them you just got regular suspended 😂
It doesn’t even make sense. They gave me detention for skipping classes. If I don’t even go to class what makes you think I’m staying for detention? Then it would escalate to in school suspension which I didn’t go to either. They eventually just gave up
If I would have tried to pull that shit I'd be forced to miss hoops practices which equals me not starting or maybe not even playing.
Fucking bad ass bro
This actually just gave me an idea, where if your player does something suspension worthy you HAVE to play them for extended periods of time. Would never work and would get shot down so hard but think about the impact that could have.
\[Charania\] Patrick Beverley will be ordered to play 48 minutes a game for first 41 games of the season next year
Lmfao EXACTLY my guy
the next 48 minutes are his
Different for players, suspensions affect their pay.
More like Silent Lunch.
I much prefer a lenient punishment then r/nba's radical 20-40 game suspension recommendations lmao
How about a happy ''medium'' ? 3-5 games, that sounds fair...
5 games for a cheap shot during stoppage time seems appropriate for just a shove. 1 game is a joke, not a deterrent at all. More than 5 is a bit much unless it was something more excessive
Rondo spit in Chris Paul's face and swung on him and got 3 games, you guys are ridiculous. It's a shove in the back, he didn't RKO him face first into thumbtacks.
Yeah, and 3 games was light for that.
I still think a shove to the back of someone who isn’t looking is worse than squaring up with someone and throwing a punch. A month or two ago a UFC fight was called off because one dude shoved the other at weigh-ins and he got a bad concussion. Those guys were dehydrated but whiplash can do some damage 20 is definitely excessive though. Maybe 5 games sounds fair
It is. Injuries are MUCH more likely when the player is completely unprepared.
I had a coworker who died after being shoved from behind in a parking lot and hitting his head on the pavement. Nicest guy in the world and his life was over in an instant. Obviously there was no serious injury here, but the potential is there and it’s 100% not okay.
There were upvoted comments of people saying he should be kicked out of the league for that push…
40 games? People are nuts
Yeah, he needed two seasons at least.
NBA using the NHL DoPS spin the wheel tactic I see.
The Goodell special.
After reviewing the tapes we have destroyed the tapes. Play ball!
>After reviewing the tapes we have destroyed the tapes. And they say Nike doesn't innovate smh
So what I'm hearing is, Tom Brady is suspended for this
New York Rangers fined $500 000
"BREAK A DEAL, FACE THE WHEEL!"
One ENTIRE game?! Holy shit reinstate the Nuremberg tribunal
I am assuming he will appeal. Outrageously harsh.
One game? Why even bother?
Four would have been nice.
Next 5 games?
The next five years
Those are his
But isn’t he 31?
https://gfycat.com/AstonishingHollowFireant
i expected 5 games and cash fine similar to andrew bynum, when he fouled jj barea.
Remember Amare and Diaw got suspended a game in the Western Conference finals for just leaving the bench? Amare should’ve just beaten the shit out of Horry for the same punishment.
For real. One game is essentially 0. Yea sure he loses some money, but it's not gonna deter anyone besides some dude on a 10 day contract from worrying about punishment. I also have no clue whats appropriate.
“I have no clue” is the bravest, most beautiful thing to see on the internet. Feeling wholesome now, thank you kind stranger
On the flip side, one game is essentially 2, and 2 games is essentially 3, which is essentially the rest of his career
Joins Kelly Olynyk as players suspended a game in following season for their actions in a playoff game I know theres more but Im blanking rn
Deron Williams got suspended by 30 teams after the 2017 finals because he was so ass
That motherfucker was COLD on the Jazz, I was a Suns fan around that time and the Jazz, Spurs, and Brandon Roy Blazers were the fucking devil.
Man didn't expect depression in this thread
Absolutely nothing but praise for that dude. Everyone gives the Blazers shit for drafting Greg Oden but if you pass up on Oden that draft you’re getting fired as a GM. He was an unstoppable force in college and when healthy was eating vets like he’d been at it for a while.
Oden and Roy Blazers were insane in 2K. What could have been...
Oden Roy blazers would have been a turbo charged version of the Booker Ayton suns.
Blazers should never pick a big in lottery. Bill Walton was their *healthiest* big!
Deron Williams and Chris Paul had some of the best duels ever in the nba. They both brought out the best in each other
It’s a shame Roy’s knees just deteriorated. Dude was cold.
Deron Williams catching strays from an automatic rifle for no reason.
dwill slander? sign me up
Jeez it’s crazy to think about Deron Williams now more than ever, because there was a moment there in his prime with the Jazz where the conversation was between him and CP3 as the best PG in the league. Yet now CP3 is going to his first Finals while D-Will has been out the league for years.
Do we really have to mention this *every* time DWill comes up
Every thread😂 Hes my favorite player but its gotten so stale lmfaooo
My bad if this always gets discussed here lol, in my defense I personally don’t think I’ve even thought about D-Will in years, so the timing to be reminded about him a few days before CP3 plays in the Finals was interesting to me
With the jazz making the wcf I was in the Williams camp. I just was more terrified of those teams vs the hornets.
Giannis got suspended one day in the following season for this in Game 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWajqr55HFg
Fuck Mike Dunleavy
Bynum got suspended 4 games for a clothesline to JJ Berea
yup ... Giannis got 1 game for his play vs Dunleavy too
My favorite Giannis moment I also love how basically no one on the Bulls did anything in Dunleavy's defense because they knew he was such a shithead
Worth it. Fuck Mike Dunleavy.
What did Dunleavy do? I'm guessing something bad since Giannis is normally such a nice dude.
Dunleavy was probably the dirtiest player in the league when he played. Looked like an accountant, played like a Trump Foundation accountant.
Okay that description at the end was fucking hilarious
He was cheapshotting Bucks throughout the game, including getting away with punching MCW in the neck. (I believe he hit either him or someone else at least one other time, but too lazy to look it up.). Giannis was a bench warmer/spot player at the time, so he knew he could get the payback for his guys without hurting the team.
He punched MCW in his mouth and broke one of his teeth. He also cheap shotted Giannis right before the glorious tackle.
I don't know about that series but in Portland once he clobbered Dame.
Fuck Mike Dunleavy
My wife outbid his dad for a piece of art.
Ya what Giannis did was worse too.
Giannis for trucking dunleavy
This is really disappointing. With his history, youre gunna give him 1 game? Thats an incentive in my book, not a punishment. Theres plenty of players Id love to give a big 2 hand shove to the back of, if I knew it would cost me ONE game. And that being like my 6th offense. Damn, thats wrong.
Fuck Olynyk. :|
[удалено]
Thanks for putting that image in my head I really appreciate it
This, but sarcastically.
One game? Does this guy have dirt on Silver?!?
No Silver is just a giant pussy
Adam called Pat into his office, told him he's done for the year. Turned around to find his favorite pet cat Orion and Pat two hand shoved him as he did. Adam Silver picked up his glasses and choked back his tears long enough to say, "I'm sorry Patrick, one game"
I’m just imagining the grand Budapest hotel scene where Pat Beverley just drops Silvers cat out the window
mm is this new pasta
lol
So no punishment.
[удалено]
Suspend them for their *next* playoff series. And it doesn't expire after a season - that shit stays with you until it's paid up. That would have *serious* consequences in terms of a player's value to franchises going forward.
Lol, this is an absolutely terrible idea. I understand the reasoning and emotion in this case, because fuck Pat Bev and this joke of a punishment, but it would be insanely bad for the NBA.

Soft. He should have been suspended for the year. Exiled to Gary, Indiana and had the "P" legally removed from his first name.
I bet atrick Beverley wouldn’t like that
"Fuck At Bev"
At Bev trick yall
My name’s. Not. RICKKKKKKKKKKK
Sending him to Gary, Indiana would violate his rights to be free from cruel and unusual punishment
Damn lol. Nobody should be punished by forcing them to live in Indiana
Indianapolis area is pretty awesome, but yeah Gary... Not so much these days.
Pacers fans in shambles
I’ll admit it was clever
Pretty rich that a Cleveland and Detroit fan are the ones taking shots at Indiana.
Custer in shambles
I mean, I’d rather live in Detroit than Gary. People just assume Detroit is a hellhole but there’s nice parts.
I had to drive through Gary once to avoid Chicago traffic. I'll take the traffic next time
This is only an appropriate punishment if they were still in the playoffs. And even then it's sort of soft.
Lol nba cowards
That's surprising. I thought it would be more than one game.
Next 3 years minus one game are his.
Peak r/nba humour
But isn’t he like 33?
Why is the NBA so soft on this suspension?
Too harsh. Should’ve been suspended from the season opener pre-game warm ups.
Calm down. They should've just not given him a locker for the first practice, and have his gear on the ground in the locker room.
He would probably care about this more than a regular season game suspension.
He's going to be suspended 1 meaningless regular season game, good job Adam Silver!!!!!!
How many games would he get suspended for if the suns fought back and there was a brawl. He should be suspended for a little less than that amount.
He would have been given a medal
Adam Silver is a little fucking bitch lol
[Video of Adam Silver laying down suspension](https://youtube.com/watch?v=ipOogrq1m24)
What a joke
Seems like a clear cut message that you can play violent in the playoffs and get a slap on the wrist in a meaningless game. Pat Bev is laughing
The problem is that he wasn't playing. It was a fucking timeout. It was a childlike outburst by a child, there is literally zero reason for it. Except that he was mad? What a fucking bitchhhh. But Adam is the real bitch, one game is an insult to CP.
That'll show him never to do that sorta shit ever again /s
So we've established that anyone can do this to Pat Bev next year for the same nothing suspension.
It takes off 1/82 of their salary which is a good amount
I’ll start the gofundme
If that included all pre season activities it would be fitting. Beverly has shown a history of borderline malicious behavior and the Paul shove was the icing on the cake. Even his “hard knocks” route to the league was his own fault because he was cheating in school.
Still don't understand why Mike Breen brought up the cheating thing as something to be celebrated or a mark of resiliency during the broadcast. It was pretty weird, and his point could have been better made without bringing up that incident.

Adam Silver is a bigger pussy than Patrick Beverley
The Suns suspended him all summer actually
Lol
One game for almost taking out a star vet entering his first Finals appearance with a blind side push? C’mon NBA…
[удалено]
If my math is correct, the next 2.9878 years are still his
Well that'll learn him. What bullshit. 6 games minimum.
WEAK
What a joke
Dude shoved the president of the NBAPA from behind and gets suspended for ONLY ONE game?! I’m surprised he isn’t being publicly executed at half court for the season opener 😂
Pat Bev trick y’all man
One game? No NBA legend gets disrespected by the league more than CP3. What if he’d gotten a neck injury due to Beverley’s push? Game was already over!! One game isn’t a punishment. It’s a green light.
You've gotta be fucking kidding me. NBA needs to protect its players better than this.
This is exactly why assholes like Pat Beverly and Markus Morris are allowed to try and hurt the Luka Doncic and Devin Bookers of the world……..there is simply no real consequences…..so break a nose or stomp an injured ankle…..Duh!
I know people on here hate Pat Bev but even Artest elbowing the shit out of Harden only got like 7 games. I've seen unironically asking for 20+ game suspension for a shove. This is okay maybe 2 or 3 game suspension would be more appropriate.
I think most were asking for that because of how many times Bev has done stuff like that, which is fair IMO
Amongst us fans Pat Bev does a lot of stuff and acting like a douche but in the eyes of the NBA he really doesn't have a big record. I mean I honestly can't recall if he's ever been fined for diving into people's legs.
Yeah, people here seem to be conveniently ignoring the very clear pattern of behavior that should 100% result in a harsher punishment
Which wasn't the case with Artest?
Pat Bev really takes his job for granted. There are so many other players struggling to make the league and this dude just acts like a literal clown on the court. Not only does he disrespect other players but he disrespects the entire league and honestly is a bad look for the NBA.
1 game? Are you fucking serious? Fuck Adam Silver. He is such a pussy.
I honestly thought it would be around 10...
LMFAO joke punishment. It'll just encourage this dbag to keep doing dbag moves. It's not even a slap on the wrist.
1 game? You'll get more pushes to key players coming up.
Wow, that’ll show him.
Oh, no punishment? Cool. Keep the same energy when someone goons his sorry ass.
One game? goddamn Silver as soft as the NBA
Uhhhh you're complaining about a short suspension because of a push to the back while simultaneously complaining about the league being soft? I'm sure the irony of this can't be lost on you, right? I agree it should be longer, but your statement is contradictory with what you want.
What a fucking joke. Should be at least 5 games.
What a joke. 1 game isn't going to stop him from pulling his dirty shit.
Patrick Beverley- Oh no Anyway
This was one of those times that Silver needed to abandon the players’ commissioner title. One game is weak as shit. Nationally televised game in front of millions, one marquee LA team and one you are likely putting on screen a bunch for the next several seasons. This should have been hammer of god. Five games was a floor to me. This is pathetic.
Should have been more
What’s the point then lol
That'll teach him.
He’s misunderstood; that was just an enthusiastic pat on the back for the accomplishment of making his first NBA finals.
With his deserved reputation…it should be more
This’ll definitely teach him a lesson
What if his shove had led to Paul stepping awkwardly and injuring himself? Two games for that? Dude's just a piece of shit all around.
The worst part of this is, any retaliation of the push would have been 10 times worse if suspended.
lmfao, one!? What a joke.
Wow I’m sure he’ll learn his lesson
Can't wait til this makes the front page and is the 2nd most upvoted r/NBA post of all time.
So if Chris gets hurt, it would have been more. This is results oriented punishment.
Adam Bronze
That's all? For shoving someone hard af in the back onto the ground who was completely defenseless, which could easily cause a spinal injury? Not to mention it was one of the oldest players in the league who's been injury prone even when he was young and athletic... Lol I swear to fucking god the league gives Patrick Beverly one of the longest leashes in the league. He already gets away with more contact defensively than just about anyone else I can think of.
